A major roof problem that New England homeowners face is the build-up of heavy snow and the development of ice dams. The excess weight of snow can damage roofs, gutters, and down spouts. Excess snow and ice dams can also block the air flow of the home's ventilation systems. Ice dams form when heavy snow melts during the day, flows down the roof and when it gets outside the living space at the overhang refreezes. After several melting-freezing cycles, water can enter the attic and damage insulation, ceilings, walls, and even the building itself. Fortunately, there are steps homeowners can take to prevent damage caused by heavy snow and ice dams.
By keeping the snow load to a minimum, you will reduce the chances of an ice dam forming. In addition, you will prevent damage to the roof due to the excess weight.
By using a PriceMyRoof.com authorized contractor you have the peace of mind of a job done by well trained and experienced tradesmen. An inexperienced person on the roof attempting to remove snow can cause irreparable damage to the roof's components leading to expensive repairs or ultimately complete re-roofing. We will:

• Carefully and safely remove the bulk of the snow with roof rakes and snow shovels uncovering the upper vents.
• Chip and channel ice dams to ensure future water flow is allowed.
• Clear sidewalks, steps or driveways of any snow that has come from the roof during the roof top snow removal.
