Q: What can I use to make my driveway less slippery if I don’t have a deicer?

• <div><p>If a big freeze catches you by surprise and you don&rsquo;t have any deicer to hand, you can reduce the chance of taking a tumble by laying gritty, anti-slip materials. Some natural, readily-available options that don&rsquo;t melt ice but offer traction underfoot include sand, wood shavings, kitty litter, and fireplace ash.</p></div>

Q: Can I use a torch to melt the ice in front of my garage door?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s possible to use a torch to melt ice on your garage door, but we don&rsquo;t recommend it. It&rsquo;s very easy to bring the flame too close to the door, which can melt the weather stripping or even the garage door itself. You&rsquo;ll melt ice quickly with a torch, but the damage you&rsquo;re likely to cause can end up costing you a few hundred dollars to fix, which isn&rsquo;t worth it. Instead, we recommend pouring hot water over the frozen area or using a less intense heat source, like a hair dryer or space heater.</p></div>

Q: Do heated roof cables prevent ice damming?

• <div><p>Yes, and they do it exceptionally well. Heated roof cables have two purposes: melting snow and preventing ice buildup. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-causes-ice-dams.htm">Ice damming</a> <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-prevent-ice-dams.htm">happens when ice forms on the roof</a> (usually where the roof meets the gutter) and melts stubbornly slowly, causing moisture to enter the roof itself and, therefore, the home. </p></div>

Q: Does rubbing alcohol get rid of ice?

• <div><p>Rubbing alcohol may also remove ice from your driveway in a pinch. It has a lower freezing point than water, which expedites the unfreezing process. Pour 70 percent isopropyl alcohol into a quart or half-gallon spray bottle and spray it on your driveway. You do not have to dilute it with water.</p></div>

Q: What is the best snow removal tool for a deck?

• <div><p>Snowblowers are some of the best tools for snow removal because they remove large amounts of snow quickly without bodily harm or damaging your deck. If your snowblower can fit on your deck, it&rsquo;s a good first line of defense to remove snow quickly and easily. If you don&rsquo;t have a snowblower, a plastic shovel with a rubber blade is another good choice to remove snow on a deck.</p></div>

I generally do not write reviews for services I’ve contracted. Most interactions I have with contractors are positive, they perform the job requested for the money agreed upon. It’s a simple relationship. For me to take the time to write a review, would mean that a contractor went above and...

"I cannot recommend Ricky & his crew at Sejay highly enough. I first met Ricky last year (2018) when a windstorm ripped off part of our roof two days before Christmas. After calling all the usual suspects (who were all on vacation, and said they could come "take a look" within 7 days), i found Ricky's phone number. He was here at 7 am. the next morning (Christmas Eve), took one look, and said, I'll be back in three hours." he finished patching the roof as it grew dark. On Christmas Eve. We discussed the need to replace the entire roof (as opposed to constant repairs), and I'm happy to say that he and his crew were here the first week of November 2019 (in the snow), ripped off the old, sealed and replaced the entire roof in 3 days, at a very fair price. He's a local guy with amazing skills, an highly-qualified crew, and a good heart. If you have a roof issue, start with him."
