Roof Snow Removal in Montreal

Roof Snow Removal Service in Montreal

A Montreal winter can put tonnes of snow on a single roof, and the load gets much heavier when rain soaks into it or wind piles drifts against a wall. Roof snow removal in Montreal is about taking that weight off before it cracks ceilings, jams doors or starts leaks. Roof Snow Bros clears sloped and flat residential roofs across the island, the West Island, Laval and Vaudreuil-Soulanges, 24/7 during storms.

Our Process

Assessment: we check snow depth, ice at the eaves, drifts and the condition of vents, skylights and flashing, then confirm the price.
Safety set-up: a two-person crew anchors fall-arrest harnesses and marks a drop zone on the ground.
Hand clearing in layers: plastic shovels and roof rakes remove the snow in layers, leaving 5 to 10 cm on the roof to protect the covering.
Drains and vents: roof drains, scuppers, plumbing stacks and exhaust vents are dug out so meltwater and gases can escape.
Ground clean-up: snow is pushed away from doorways, walkways, gas meters and basement windows before we leave.

What Is Included

Sloped roofs: bungalows, cottages, split-levels, dormers and valleys
Flat roofs on duplexes, triplexes and walk-ups (see flat roof snow removal)
Garages, sheds, carports and porch roofs
Balconies and exterior staircases below the roof line
Ice at the eaves handled with steam (see ice dam removal)

Roof Snow Removal Cost & Rates

Job	Typical price per visit
Bungalow or single-storey sloped roof	$250 – $450
Two-storey house or cottage	$350 – $650
Flat-roof duplex, triplex or walk-up	$400 – $900
Ice dam removal (steam)	$400 – $900+
Seasonal contract	Quote-based

What moves the price: the size, pitch and height of the roof; how deep the snow is and whether there are ice layers; access, such as power lines, trees, narrow lanes or no safe drop zone; and whether it is a storm-day call-out. A seasonal contract, cleared automatically each time accumulation passes an agreed threshold (typically 30 to 40 cm), is usually cheaper over a heavy winter than several emergency visits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most bungalows cost $250 to $450 per visit, two-storey houses $350 to $650 and flat-roof duplexes or triplexes $400 to $900. The exact price depends on roof size, pitch, snow depth, ice and access, and we confirm it before any work starts.

During snowfalls and freezing rain our storm crews work 24/7 and usually reach you the same day. Booked visits outside of storms are normally done within 24 to 48 hours.

No, and that is on purpose. We leave a 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 in) layer so shovels and rakes never touch the shingles or membrane; that thin layer weighs very little and protects the roof covering.

Yes. Every crew is fully insured for liability, works in pairs, and is tied off to the roof with fall-arrest harnesses. Ask us for proof of insurance with your quote.

We drop it where it is safe to do so and push it away from doorways, walkways, gas meters and basement windows. Tell us about any shrubs, hedges or garden features you want protected and we will plan the drop zones around them.
