"Kurt is very reliable and cleared the snow from my driveway during the BIG storm when we were out of town. He did an excellent job and kept in touch with me to let me know when the job was completed. I will definitely use him again!"

"Mike has done numerous projects for me in the past few years and all were done with the utmost skill & professionalism. Mike is super-talented & can even help you with design ideas. Most recently he remodeled a 4x6 half bath that belongs in a magazine. Last year, massive water and termite damage was repaired involving reconstructing almost half of the first and second floors of a 3-story end unit townhouse. Mike was a real advocate for me in dealing with another company whose deck construction most likely contributed to the damage in back of the house. All of Mike's work has made the house better than ever with LVP floors, new crown molding, new siding outside, electrical upgrades, etc., etc. If you want the job done right, Mike's your man."

Snow Removal questions, answered by experts

The fastest and most effective way to remove snow, especially from a driveway, is by using a high-powered, two- or three-stage snow blower, which can clear an area in minutes. Other helpful options include a snow thrower, a wheelbarrow plow, and a leaf blower. If you need immediate assistance, consider hiring a professional snow removal service to handle the job for you.

There is no hard and fast rule about using a snowblower on a specific amount of inches, but most snow removal experts suggest using one on 2 or more inches of snow for best results. This will also depend on what type of surface you’re working on and whether the snow is dry or wet. 

When starting the engine, you typically leave the choke on a snowblower in the "choke" or "closed" position. After starting, let the engine run for a few minutes to warm up. Then, gradually open the choke, moving it to the "open" or "run" position, allowing more air into the engine and transitioning to a normal fuel-air mixture. The exact duration varies based on the snowblower model and ambient temperature, but as a general rule, you should open the choke once the engine has stabilized and runs smoothly, typically within a few minutes.

It’s the reverse of home de-winterization. To winterize, you purge your plumbing system (including your water heater and all piping) of water. Some experts also recommend filling fixtures with an antifreeze solution. Other tasks involve winterizing sprinklers, sealing foundation vents, check weatherproofing around doors and windows, and more.

Snowblowers come in three different sizes: first-, second-, and third-stage blowers. Each additional stage is larger with higher intakes, more powerful, and has more gear options.

A first-stage blower, also called a snow thrower, is usually best for snow 6 to 8 inches or below. Electric snow blowers are usually only available in this size. If you regularly get snow that’s well above six inches, consider a second-stage snow blower. If snowstorms dump 2 to 3 feet of snow repeatedly during winter, you need a third-stage snow blower to tackle it.
