Roof Snow & Ice Removal

Safe roof snow removal and ice dam prevention in Rochester—protect your home all winter.

Roof Snow & Ice Removal in Rochester, NY

Lake-effect snow can load a roof with thousands of pounds in a weekend. Add freeze–thaw cycles and you’ve got ice dams that drive water under shingles and into walls. Our roof snow and ice removal service keeps weight down and meltwater moving—without damaging shingles, gutters, or your landscaping. We use safe tools and proven methods to lower risk during and after storms, and we pair removal with prevention strategies so you’re not fighting the same battle every cold snap.

How We Remove Snow Safely

On the ground, we use extended rakes to clear eaves in manageable passes, reducing edge load where dams form. On-roof, when required and safe, crews work in harnesses with walk protection and staging, carving channels that relieve pressure without gouging shingles. We never use open flames or aggressive chisels that shred materials. The objective is control: remove enough weight and create flow paths so meltwater exits safely, then follow up with prevention.

Beyond Removal: Lasting Prevention

We evaluate insulation, ventilation, and air sealing to address the attic heat that fuels dams. Where needed, we install heat cables at trouble spots, correct gutter pitch, and add snow guards above entries or walkways. It’s a holistic winter plan that keeps your Rochester home drier, safer, and less stressed.

Understanding Ice Dams (and Beating Them)

Ice dams form when interior heat warms the roof deck, melting the snow blanket from below. As the melt reaches cold overhangs, it refreezes and builds a dam. Water backs up under shingles, finding seams and nail penetrations. Our prevention approach reduces the attic-to-outside temperature difference: balance soffit intake with ridge or other exhaust, keep ventilation paths open with baffles, and air-seal bypasses around lights, chases, and bath fans. We’ll also recommend insulation improvements where R-values are short. In the real world, even a few targeted upgrades can flatten the melt line, dramatically shrinking dams and the leaks that follow.

When to Call for a Snow Pull

Warning signs: interior cracking sounds as rafters strain, doors that suddenly stick, ceiling stains after a warm day, or gutters sagging under ice weight. If you see these, don’t wait. We’ll pull snow quickly and safely, then schedule a follow-up to tackle root causes. With a proactive plan, the rest of winter becomes routine—no surprises, no emergency buckets under the ceiling.

Protecting Your Roof as We Work

Removal shouldn’t become damage. We protect shingles with glide methods, shield landscaping from slides, and coordinate timing around thaw cycles to reduce refreezing. Crews leave the site clean and safe, with downspouts open and walkways passable. You’ll get a quick post-visit note on any weak spots we saw so you can plan prevention—not just reaction—for the next storm.
