Deep, wet snowpack
Several storms in a row, or rain on top of snow, can multiply the weight sitting on your roof.
Winter Services
Roof snow removal, done without damage
Heavy Connecticut snow loads crack rafters, flood ceilings and feed ice dams. Our crews clear roofs safely from the eaves up and leave your shingles intact.
Warning signs
Time to get the snow off
Ice at the eaves
Icicles and ice ridges along the gutters mean meltwater is refreezing and may back up under shingles.
Sticking doors, new cracks
Interior doors that suddenly stick or new drywall cracks can be early signs of a stressed roof frame.
How we do it
How we clear a roof
Step 1
Walk-around assessment of snow depth, ice at the eaves and any sagging or leaks.
Step 2
Crew clears with plastic tools and roof rakes, working in sections so the load stays balanced.
Step 3
A thin protective layer is left on the shingles; eaves, valleys, vents and drains are opened up.
Step 4
Snow is moved away from walkways and entries, and you get photos of the finished roof.
Clearing snow early is the cheapest way to prevent winter leaks. When ice has already formed at the eaves, we pair snow removal with our ice dam removal service so water has a clear path off the roof.

FAQ
Common questions
When should snow be removed from a roof in Connecticut?
Call when snow is deep and heavy after back-to-back storms, when wet snow or rain has soaked the snowpack, when you see ice building at the eaves, or when doors inside the house start sticking. Flat and low-slope roofs load up fastest.
Will roof snow removal damage my shingles?
Not when it is done correctly. We leave a thin protective layer of snow on the shingles instead of scraping down to the surface, and we never use metal shovels, picks or open flame on the roof.
Should I rake or shovel my own roof?
A long-handled roof rake from the ground is fine for the first few feet at the eave. Please do not climb onto a snow- or ice-covered roof — falls are the biggest winter roofing risk.
Do you clear commercial flat roofs?
Yes. We clear flat and low-slope commercial roofs around drains and scuppers and away from drifted areas near parapets and rooftop equipment, where weight concentrates.
