Roof Snow Removal in Pointe-Claire

Q: "Do you respond quickly in Pointe-Claire?"

"Yes. Pointe-Claire sits in the middle of our West Island core territory, so during snowfalls and freezing rain our 24/7 storm crews reach most homes the same day. Outside of storms, visits are usually booked within 24–48 hours."

Q: "Do you offer the same services in Pointe-Claire 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 Pointe-Claire. The rates are identical to those we charge anywhere else in our service area."

Q: "Why do ice dams keep forming on my 1950s bungalow near the lake?"

"Bungalows of that era often have limited attic insulation, so heat melts roof snow that then refreezes at the cold eaves, and lake winds keep piling fresh snow on top. We melt the ice back with low-pressure steam, which is gentle on shingles and gutters; most steam jobs fall between $400 and $900+, depending on the length and thickness of the ice."

Roof Snow Removal in Pointe-Claire

Homeowners looking for roof snow removal in Pointe-Claire usually call about one of two problems: drifts piled up by the wind off Lac Saint-Louis, or ice ridges along the eaves of a 1950s–60s bungalow. We serve the whole city, with storm crews working 24/7 and reaching most addresses the same day, and non-storm bookings usually handled within 24–48 hours.

Lakeshore Winds and Ice Dams

Pointe-Claire juts into Lac Saint-Louis, and the open water gives north-westerly and south-westerly winds a long run before they reach the first row of houses. The result is uneven loading: one slope of a roof can be nearly bare while the lee side, or the valley behind a chimney, carries a deep, packed drift. We look at where the snow has actually accumulated rather than treating the roof as a uniform surface, and we clear those heavy pockets first.

The postwar bungalows in neighbourhoods like Valois and Cedar Park Heights were built with low-pitched shingle roofs and wide overhangs, and many still have their original attic insulation. That combination is ideal for ice dams. Chipping them off with a hatchet or scattering salt damages shingles and gutters, so we use low-pressure steam to cut through the ice and open a path for meltwater, then clear the remaining snow in layers with plastic tools. Water stains on a ceiling near an exterior wall, or icicles thickening along one stretch of gutter, usually mean the ice has started pushing water under the shingles, so call before the next thaw.
