Having a Professional Roof Rake Service is extremely important in our harsh Minnesota winters to prevent ice dams on your expensive roofs. With enough accumulation of snow ice dams can form which can create roof leaks/collapses and potentially other water leakage problems in your home. Our Roof Raking Service is a preventative procedure where one of our professionals comes out to remove the first 6 feet of snow on the roofs, and then shovel the fallen snow away from the edges of the home. Our trained professionals use top of the line equipment and are ready for any property in MN. We typically use plastic equipment that is shingle-safe and ready for all types of roofs, but under specific situations we use aluminum roof rakes to remove crisp/frozen snow. We are located right in Bloomington, and can respond quickly when the snow flies. CALL OR TEXT 612-226-8429 ICE DAMS Ice Dams are created by snow that has been sitting on a roof that has started to melt due to the home's heat. The water from the melted snow drips down and then freezes on the gutters/overhangs on the roof. These large buildups of ice can create TONS of problems for your property. These problems can start with small shingle/roof damage and range all the way to full roof collapses. Ice Dams can form as quickly as 24 hours after a snowfall and can weigh up to thousands of pounds. On average, Ice Dam removal can cost anywhere from $400-$700 per hour and can take up to 8 hours to remove properly. Experts recommend roof raking within the first 48 hours after significant snowfall.
