Roof Snow Removal
Residential and Commercial

Prevent major winter damage

Quebec winters are unforgiving on roofs. Excessive accumulation of snow and ice can lead to structural collapse, water infiltration during sudden thaws, and the formation of dangerous ice dams along the roof edges.

When should you clear snow from your roof?

• Critical accumulation: When there is more than 24 inches (60 cm) of snow on a pitched roof, or 18 inches (45 cm) on a flat roof.
• Warning signs: Interior doors sticking, unusual creaking in the framework, or cracks appearing on walls and ceilings.
• Ice formation: The appearance of large icicles on gutters often indicates an ice dam preventing water drainage.

Our safe approach

Roof snow removal is a high-risk operation that must be entrusted to professionals:

• Roofing material protection: We always leave a thin layer of snow so as not to damage the shingles or membrane with our shovels.
• Specialized equipment: Use of adapted, non-cutting tools, and ANSI-certified safety harnesses.
• Perimeter control: Securing the ground level to prevent accidents with pedestrians from falling snow.
