Do snow removal companies need to be insured?

• <div><p>Yes, most states require that snow removal companies be insured under workers' compensation. This protects the employees financially if an injury were to happen (and when dealing with ice and snow, it’s possible that injury could occur). In addition, most states require snow removal companies to be covered under general liability, which would help cover the cost of any property damage incurred during the removal process.</p></div>

Q: Does knocking down icicles help ice dams?

• <div><p>Knocking down icicles won&rsquo;t help prevent ice dams, as the dams form on the bottoms of your roof slopes and not on the gutters themselves. However, removing icicles can reduce the risk of injury if they form over heavily trafficked areas, and it can help prevent permanent damage to your gutters. Just be sure to wear safety equipment and always stay on the ground while knocking them down.</p></div>

Q: How long does removal take?

• <div><p>Removal typically takes 30 minutes to 1 hour per item, depending on accessibility and size.</p></div>

Q: How do you know if there is too much snow on your roof?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-how-much-snow-can-your-roof-hold.htm">How much snow can a roof hold</a>? The answer could help you to avoid roof collapse&mdash;a worst-case scenario, of course. For most roofs, you can expect it to withstand four feet of fresh snow, two feet of packed snow, or two to three feet of a mix of old and new snow. However, your roof will only be able to handle one inch of ice. The actual weight capacity of your roof may vary, so check with whoever built it for exact details.</p></div>

Q: Is an annual snow removal contract worth it?

• <div><p>Whether or not an annual snow removal contract is worth it depends mainly on location. If you live in an area with frequent heavy snowfall, a yearly contract could be better than paying per clearing. If you live in an area where it only snows a few times a year, paying per snowstorm may be a better option.</p></div>

Really well. The trees needed to be removed because they were too close to the house. Some were already dead. The trees were carefully removed without incident. Communication was good. They made sure not cut anything they weren’t supposed In my opinion they charged a fair price for this service.
