Roof Snow Removal in Montreal

Q: "Do you respond quickly in Montreal?"

"Yes. Montreal is our home base and core territory, so storm crews run 24/7 during snowfalls and freezing-rain events and reach most addresses the same day. Outside of storms, bookings are usually handled within 24–48 hours."

Q: "Can you clear the roof of a plex with an exterior staircase and a narrow back lane?"

"Yes. Duplexes, triplexes and walk-ups are a large part of our Montreal work, and most of these flat roofs fall between $400 and $900 per visit. When there is no clear drop zone, we plan where the snow goes so it stays off exterior staircases, doorways, gas meters and basement windows, and we push it clear of the lane afterward."

Q: "Why does my flat roof leak after a thaw even when it held the snow?"

"Often the roof drain or scupper is buried, so meltwater pools and finds its way through seams or flashing instead of draining away. Every visit includes clearing drains, scuppers, vents and plumbing stacks, and we leave about 5–10 cm of snow on the membrane so our shovels never touch it."

Roof Snow Removal in Montreal

Roof snow removal in Montreal is our main line of work, from Mile End triplexes to sloped-roof bungalows in Saint-Laurent. During snowfalls and freezing rain our crews work around the clock and reach most homes the same day; regular bookings are usually scheduled within 24–48 hours. Demand on the island comes from its mix of roof types: thousands of flat-roof plexes with parapets that trap drifts, alongside postwar houses with shingled slopes that grow ice dams at the eaves.

Plexes, Parapets and Tight Lanes

A typical Montreal triplex has a nearly flat membrane roof, a low parapet on the street side and a narrow lane or shared yard at the back. Wind scours snow off the middle of the roof and packs it against the parapet, which is exactly where the load concentrates. We clear in layers with polymer shovels, leave a thin protective layer on the membrane, and open every drain so the next thaw has somewhere to go. We never put a snowblower on a flat roof: it can tear the membrane and fling gravel ballast into the street.

Access is the other Montreal challenge. Power lines along the lane, mature trees, cars parked tight to the building and a single exterior staircase for three units all shape how we work. Our crews are never fewer than two people, both clipped into fall-arrest harnesses anchored to the roof, and snow that comes down is moved away from stairs, entrances and basement windows before we leave.

For sloped roofs, see roof snow removal and roof snow raking; plex owners should start with flat roof snow removal. Ice along the eaves is handled with low-pressure steam through our ice dam removal service, and standing-seam roofs through metal roof snow removal. Call 438-476-8876 or request a free quote.
