With the amount of snow our area has seen recently, you may be questioning whether or not your roof can handle the extra weight. Phil’s Main Roofing suggests reaching for the telephone, rather than a ladder or a shovel to remove the snow yourself.

Removing snow from your roof can be extremely dangerous if you try it out on your own! That’s why a professional from Phil’s Main Roofing will take care of it for you.

Below are a few key tips on what you need to know about removing snow from your roof.

How to determine whether or not the snow needs to be removed: The number one factor in knowing if it’s necessary to remove snow off your roof or not isn't the amount on your roof, it’s the weight. Wet snow is a lot heavier than light fluffy snow, and can be extremely difficult to remove.

How to determine if there’s a problem: The number one test to know whether or not your roof can withstand the snow is if you notice that your doors on interior walls begin to stick. This indicates that there is too much weight on the center structure of your home and its falsifying the door frame.


If you've made the decision that your roof isn't handling the amount of snow on it, call Phil’s Main Roofing! We will handle the job for you. For more information, give us a call at (203) 838-4545.
