Q: What's the best way to melt ice without damaging concrete?

• <div><p>Natural ice melts can often get the job done without damaging concrete. You can try non-corrosive options such as kitty litter, alfalfa meal, coffee grounds, sugar beet juice, and heated snow-melting mats. While they may cause some staining, these natural melts are safe for concrete, pets, and the environment.</p></div>

Q: What are the fastest and most effective methods for snow removal?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Can I use cat litter or sand to melt the ice in my driveway?

• <div><p>Some commercial services use <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/sand-vs-salt-for-snow.htm">sand when clearing ice</a>, but that&rsquo;s to add instant traction, not to melt the ice. While you can scatter kitty litter, sand, or similar substances on steps, paths, or porches to improve safety during icy conditions, they won&rsquo;t help melt hardened ice. Rely on salt or other de-icing methods to fully melt away stubborn ice.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to remove snow from a roof?

• <div><p>The cost of removing snow from a roof averages between <b>$300 and $700</b>. However, this cost can range from <b>$200</b> to <b>$3,000</b>, depending on the size of your roof, the amount of snow, and roof accessibility. </p><p>Since snowfall can range from light powder to heavy and condensed snow, part of the price of roof snow removal depends on the amount and type of snow. For 12 inches of snow, you can expect to pay between <b>$200 and $2,000</b> for this job. However, for 24 inches of snow, that price rises to <b>$300 to $3,000</b>. </p></div>

Q: Is ice dam removal worth it?

• <div><p>Ice dam removal is costly, but it&rsquo;s absolutely worth it. If you leave an ice dam as is and don&rsquo;t take care of it, you&rsquo;re looking at potentially dangerous situations and high-cost repairs&mdash;like roof collapse, leaks, mold problems, gutter damage, and more. Removing ice dams is essential to keeping your home and your family safe in the snowy season.</p></div>

"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."
