Roof Snow Removal

Big fluffy mounds of snow on your roof make your house look like a Christmas card, but if you don’t remove them quickly, the results will be nothing to celebrate.

Heavy snow loads on your roof can cause serious damage.

Roof snow removal can prevent expensive repairs caused by:

• Collapsed roofs
• Shingle damage
• Ventilation blockage
• Damage to gutters, fascia and other parts of the roof
• Ice dams

Ice dams are caused when snow on the roof melts and refreezes, trapping water under shingles and other layers of the roof. Ice dams warp eaves troughs and cause water leaks and other costly damage.

• How to prevent problems caused by snow on your roof: Before winter arrives, make sure your home has proper insulation, along with balanced attic ventilation.
• Installing waterproofing shingle underlayment is another option.
• A roofing professional can tell you how to prevent snow on your roof from causing damage.

How to handle rooftop snow removal – today:

• If none of that preventative work has been done, hire a company to safely remove snow from your roof before ice damming occurs.
• Did you know it can take up to 10 times longer to remove ice dams from eaves and gutters than to remove the snow from the roof early on?
• Professional snow removal costs less money than fixing the damage the snow will cause if left up too long. If you wait until the snow on your roof turns to ice, the cost to remove it will increase 400%!
• You may want to remove snow from your roof yourself. However, removing snow or ice from your roof without professional help is EXTREMELY dangerous.
