Roof Snow Removal in Hampstead
Hampstead’s brick cottages, many with dormers and later flat-roof additions at the back, combine two roof types on one house, which makes roof snow removal in Hampstead a bit more involved than it looks. We serve the town with 24/7 crews during storms and same-day visits in most cases, clearing both the pitched main roof and the flat extension in a single trip.

Dormers, Valleys and Rear Extensions
Dormers break a roof into small valleys, and valleys are where snow collects and ice forms first. On a Hampstead cottage, the danger spot is often the joint between the main roof and a rear addition: snow slides off the upper slope, piles onto the flat roof below and pushes against the wall. That junction is where we see leaks and, on older additions, the most stress on the framing.
We start at the top, rake the dormer valleys clear, then work the flat extension down to a protective layer with plastic shovels, opening its drain on the way. If icicles or a ridge of ice have formed along the eaves, we remove them with low-pressure steam instead of chipping. Snow brought to the ground is moved away from side entrances and basement windows. Hampstead’s mature trees also shade many roofs well into spring, so snow lingers on north-facing slopes longer than owners expect; a second visit late in the season is sometimes the difference between a dry attic and a wet one.
Our roof snow removal, flat roof snow removal and ice dam removal pages explain each step. We also cover neighbouring Côte-St-Luc and Notre-Dame-de-Grâce. Call 438-476-8876 or request a free quote today.
