• <div><p>While most people associate defrosting icy roads with salt, you can also use sugar for a similar result. Sugar lowers the freezing point of water, melting ice in a pinch.</p><p>However, sugar doesn’t melt ice as well as salt because it doesn’t separate the water molecules as efficiently. So, if you need to quickly melt a stubborn patch of ice on your driveway or walkway, it’s best to use salt over sugar for faster results.</p></div>

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: Can I handle snow removal myself?

• <div><p>While DIY is possible for small areas, professional services provide fast, efficient removal for large properties or heavy snowfall.</p></div>

Q: How can I save money on snow removal?

• <div><p>The best way to save money on snow removal is to sign up for a seasonal contract that guarantees service throughout the entire winter. Most companies charge between <b>$200 and $600</b> for this service, and they&rsquo;ll often give you a break on the price if you extend annually. Of course, savings will depend on your area. If you live in a moderate climate where snowfall may or may not occur, you could pay more than you need during a light snow year. Still, it&rsquo;s usually a safe bet to sign a seasonal contract.</p></div>

Q: Is there a minimum amount of snow required to use a snowblower?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;re working on and whether the snow is dry or wet. </p></div>

J&H did a great job with snow removal! It was a 'complicated' storm with ice, ground snow removal, and re-drifting. Their work gave me enough to get out safely, and not lose a planned trip. Hard workers, and very accommodating!
