Granite Mako Roof Raking

Why do I need this service?

Most New Hampshire homeowners never think about roof snow until something goes wrong — a leak, stained ceilings, or a repair bill after a hard winter. Snow can sit on a roof for weeks. That weight builds up, and when daytime melt meets nighttime freeze, ice dams form along the edges and can push water under the shingles and into the house.

Full roof clearing exists for three practical reasons:

• • Reduce structural load — Heavy or wet snow adds significant weight. Clearing it keeps that load off the roof throughout the season.
• • Interrupt the ice-dam cycle — Removing snow early limits the meltwater that refreezes at the eaves and forms ice dams.
• • Protect the roof and interior — Less standing snow and fewer ice dams mean a lower chance of water getting under shingles and into insulation, ceilings, or walls.

This service is a good fit if your roof holds snow for more than a few days after a storm, if you’ve dealt with ice dams before, or if you simply prefer prevention over reacting to damage later.

Full roof clearing is inexpensive compared with the cost of repeated ice-dam damage or repairs over time. It’s a straightforward way to stay ahead of the winter cycle instead of dealing with problems after they start.
