Roof Snow Removal in Baie-D'Urfé

Q: "Do you respond quickly in Baie-D'Urfé?"

"Yes. During snowfalls and freezing-rain events our crews work 24/7, and most Baie-D'Urfé calls are handled the same day. Outside of storms, bookings are usually scheduled within 24 to 48 hours."

Q: "Do you offer the same services in Baie-D'Urfé as in Montreal?"

"Yes. Roof snow removal, roof snow raking, flat roof snow removal, ice dam removal and metal roof snow removal are all available in Baie-D'Urfé. Our rates are the same across the whole service area, so there is no surcharge for the western end of the island."

Q: "Can you clear an older or heritage roof without damaging it?"

"Yes. We use plastic shovels and roof rakes with no metal edges, remove the snow in layers and leave about 5 to 10 cm on the roof so our tools never touch the shingles or cedar. If ice has built up at the eaves, we melt it with low-pressure steam rather than chipping it, which is the only method we use on older roof coverings."

Roof Snow Removal in Baie-D’Urfé

Homeowners who need roof snow removal in Baie-D’Urfé often care as much about how the work is done as how quickly it gets done. Many houses here are established family homes on generous, treed lots, some with original rooflines and detailing that owners have spent years maintaining. Our two-person crews serve the town around the clock during storms and usually within 24 to 48 hours otherwise, with a method built around leaving the roof exactly as we found it, minus the snow.

Careful Work on Mature Properties

Tall trees are part of what makes Baie-D’Urfé attractive, but they complicate winter. Branches overhang eaves, drop clumps of wet snow onto roofs after a thaw, and limit where snow can safely land. Before we start, we pick a drop zone away from shrubs, hedges and garden beds, and we push fallen snow clear of doorways, walkways, gas meters and basement windows once we are done.

On the roof itself, nothing with a metal edge touches the surface. We work down in layers, stop at a protective layer of roughly 5 to 10 cm, and check that vents and plumbing stacks are uncovered before we leave. Where the eaves have iced over, steam does the work; hammers, picks and salt are never used, because they shorten the life of the roofing you are trying to protect.

For most sloped roofs here, roof snow removal or roof snow raking from the ground is enough, and ice dam removal is available when icicles start forming along the gutters. We also work in neighbouring Senneville and Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue, and across the West Island. Call 438-476-8876 or request a free quote and we will look at your roof before the next storm.
