Snow & Ice Dam Removal

Because every storm and roof load is different, we provide an upfront ballpark estimate before dispatching a crew, billed with a half-day or full-day crew minimum. Total time on-site depends on snow depth, how heavy or icy the snowpack is, roof pitch and accessibility, and whether you need full roof offloading, deck clearing, or targeted ice dam removal.

During winter storm cycles, we schedule snow and ice dam removal on a first-come, first-served basis as requests come in and weather conditions allow our crews to safely access your neighborhood and work on the roof. Because schedules fill up quickly during back-to-back storms, we recommend reaching out as soon as snow loads build up rather than waiting for an active roof leak.

Whenever we hand-shovel snow off a roof or stained wood deck, we intentionally leave a 2-to-4-inch protective buffer layer of snow rather than scraping all the way down to bare shingles, metal panels, or deck boards. Scraping a shovel directly against frozen roofing materials or stained wood will strip granules and scratch the finish—and because our crews spend their summers staining and painting these exact same decks and exteriors, we know firsthand how important it is to keep shovel blades off the raw surface.

Shoveling tons of compacted snow off a roof creates heavy piles around the perimeter of your home, so we drop snow away from gas meters and vents whenever possible and clear roof-slide snow from critical entryways and walkways as part of the job. Every job is handled by our 100% in-house, full-time craftsmen—never uninsured seasonal day laborers or subcontractors—backed by full workers’ compensation and liability insurance (CA Lic. #822843 / NV Lic. #68238).
