Snow removal is a growing problem throughout the winter season. Snow build-up on your roof can cause a range of issues from leaks to seriously affecting the structural integrity of the roof itself. These can ultimately lead to collapses, endangering you and your family. If snow melts on your roof and then refreezes by the edges an ice dam can quickly form. The consequences of this ice dam is the next time the weather warms up and snow melts, it will not run off the roof. Rather, it can collect on the roof, leaking into your home and ruining your shingles.
A re-roof is the process of laying new product over your existing roof. Roof repairs will generally save you time and money, but in most cases a new roof is the best option. As a general rule of thumb, if the existing roof on is only one layer and there are no problems with the roof deck, a new roof is not necessary. Re-roofs require less labor, material and necessary disposal compared to a tear off. This cuts down on money and time. However, if you are going to do a re-roof it is still important to consider the ventilation of your attic.
