Can deck snow be left until it melts?
Light snow can. Heavy, wet or drifted snow is worth clearing from a deck, because the load sits on the framing and the ledger for as long as it stays.

Quick answers
Why put in driveway snow stakes before winter?
Stakes mark the edges of the drive, walks and landscaping so a plow or shovel finds them under snow instead of tearing up lawn, curbs and sprinkler heads.
Is roof snow clearing part of snow service?
Roof snow is raked from the ground or a ladder as its own job under winter prep; walking a snow-covered roof is not done.
Snow and ice clearing: every job and zone
Every job 24/7 Express Handyman Service takes on is under $3,000 including labor, materials and any change orders (Utah Code §58-55-305); a change that would push a job over that line is referred to a licensed contractor, not written up as a second job. plumbing, electrical, HVAC, gas appliance / combustion system work is referred to a licensed trade.
