We offer roof snow removal services. Snow can accumulate on roofs and cause stress on your roof structure. Snow buildup can also cause water backup and water damage. If you have snow building up on your roof, contact us for a free consultation.
How much weight in on your roof?
It's not easy to measure exactly how much weight is on your roof. Snow weight varies with the level of moisture in the snow. Rule of thumb is: saturated snow weighs approximately 15 pounds per cubic foot. That being said, a 1500 square feet roof on a home with 12 inches of snow could weight approximately 22500 pounds, or, 11.25 tons!
The Top-Edge Difference
You should always use a qualified roofer to do any type of roofing work, including snow removal. Hiring the local "handyman" is putting you at risk of liability.
We all seen the "kijiji" adds for roof snow removal. Local "handyman" wanting to make extra money on the side. Although you may save a few dollars(if all goes well), you're putting yourself at risk by hiring anybody less then a roofing professional. The local "handyman" usually doesn't carry liability insurance or workers compensation and rarely has any training to even be on a roof. You're taking full liability for these people by hiring them. This could cost you your home if something goes wrong.
By hiring a Top-Edge you are protected by any liabilities. Our staff is professionally trained in all roofing services and have valid certificates where needed. We also have liability insurance and workers compensation that protects you and your home. We take full liability for your roof and our staff from the time we arrive to the time we leave.
Be safe and call the pro's for all your roofing needs! Taking the cheap way out should not be an option when it comes to roof snow removal.
