Colorado snowstorms can dump feet of snow on your roof. While roofs are designed to handle snow loads, excessive accumulation poses serious risks.
When to Remove Snow
Remove snow when accumulation exceeds 12 inches or if you notice sagging, cracking sounds, or doors that won't close properly - signs of roof stress.
Safety First
Never climb on a snow-covered roof. Use a roof rake with an extension pole to remove snow from the ground. Stay clear of power lines.
Proper Snow Removal Technique
Remove snow in layers, working from the bottom up. Don't try to remove all snow - leave 2-3 inches to protect shingles from damage.
Avoid Ice Chipping
Never use sharp tools to chip ice off your roof. You'll damage shingles and void warranties. Ice removal requires professional equipment.
Watch for Ice Dams
Ice dams form when melted snow refreezes at roof edges. This can cause major water damage. Professional removal is essential.
Know Your Limits
Steep roofs, multi-story homes, and icy conditions require professional help. Don't risk injury - call experienced roofers.
