Snow on Roofs

Snow on Roof

We need to be aware of snow and the weight it has. When snow accumulates and during this winter withour freezes we need to make sure to take care and not let ice build up. It can get under the eaves and then you might find having insulation getting wet and a pricey fix.

So, please take care. There are plenty of people out there who will be happy to remove the snow for you and they are insured. Accidents do happen. We had a couple of folks last year and fall off roofs.

If you are in my neck of the woods I can give you names of those who can help you take care of your home. Let me know if you need that help.

Take care and enjoy the rest of our winter.

Stay safe

I was on my office roof yesterday shoveling... We removed about 12 tons of weight...  The volume does add up quick.  This is a good reminder for NC folk...  Remove your snow before it is a costly mistake...  Thanks

Sue removing snow from a roof can be risky to both the one doing it and the roof.  You need to know what you are doing.

Luckily in Hawaii its not an issue. I have to constantly explain to the REO companies that we don't winterize in Hawaii. It's a tough life but someone has to live it. :). Good luck.

I was just looking at all of the snow on my roof this morning and thought "That can't be good." Thanks for the post. Hopefully it will melt off tomorrow with the higher temps.
