Do you need to clear snow from the roof?

• <div><p>While removing every snowflake from your roof is unnecessary, you should remove a significant buildup of snow. Since snow is wet and heavy, it can easily cause <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/did-storm-damage-your-roof.htm">damage to your roof</a>, which can lead to needing costly repairs. </p><p>Additionally, when the snow melts but has nowhere to go and refreezes, it can create an ice dam, causing mold concerns due to water leaking into your attic and ceiling. For these reasons, it’s best to hire a snow removal professional to clear heavy snowfall from your roof as soon as possible. </p></div>

Q: Is it worth it to pay for snow removal?

• <div><p>In most cases, it&rsquo;s worth it to pay for professional snow removal. You can shovel the snow yourself, but it&rsquo;s very labor-intensive and puts you at risk of injury or illness by performing exhausting manual labor in slippery conditions. Paying a professional removes that risk and saves you time and energy. Depending on your agreement, you could wake up to a cleared driveway and a car that&rsquo;s ready to drive rather than have to get up early to do the work yourself.</p></div>

Q: What factors affect snow removal costs?

• <div><p>Costs depend on property size, snowfall frequency, and additional services like de-icing or hauling snow offsite.</p></div>

Q: Will salt melt ice overnight?

• <div><p>Whether salt melts ice overnight will depend on how low the temperature drops. If temperatures stay around 30 degrees Fahrenheit, you can count on salt melting ice overnight. Otherwise, the lower temperatures get, the less effective the salt is in melting ice, and the more likely you&rsquo;ll wake up with a slippery driveway the next day. </p><p> </p></div>

Q: What happens if you leave snow on your roof?

• <div><p>You may be wondering if you really need the snow removed from your roof. Since most roofs can only handle 20 pounds per square foot of snow accumulation, there is a tipping point when you are suddenly at risk of roof collapse. This can cause a lot of damage, not just to your home, but to your belongings, too. It also poses a physical danger to your family. Also, a lot of snow on a roof makes it more susceptible to ice dams, leaks, and water damage.</p></div>

Huisman arrived and went straight to work on cutting my 60+ foot tree down. He were very careful of the neighbors fence, my deck, my house, and my pine tree. Lots of obstacles. Other than the stump, you could not tell that there was a tree there. Great job. A few days later, I had the stump...

The salesman was very knowledgeable and personable. I was a little skeptical on the windows until after installation. These windows are really doing the job. I noticed this morning snow sitting on the middle sash of the windows. This tells me that the heat in the house is not seeping out at all....

The job went very well. The gutters were formed the day before the scheduled installment. They went up without a problem. We have a steel roof and our regular gutters kept gettting torn off by the snow slides. Leafguard came thru the winter with no apparent damage from the snow and ice.
