Snow Removal Partnership: Saving Money with a Proactive Approach

Snow Removal Tips for a Stress-Free Winter

If you're looking to save some cash when it comes to snow removal, we've got some friendly tips for you:


**1. Team up with a trusted, insured company.** This way, you know you’re in good hands!


**2. Shovel that snow (often)!** It’s way easier to deal with before it gets compacted into heavy blocks. Did you know a cubic foot of compacted snow can weigh between 15-20 pounds, or even more if it's wet? Fresh snow? Much lighter—about 5-15 pounds! So, keep it manageable by shoveling regularly.


**3. Don’t wait too long to schedule snow removal.** It might be tempting to put it off until February or March, but trust me, that’s when ice dams and those super compacted snow piles happen. Getting ahead of it in December or January is key!


**4. Go for a snow removal contract.** This is usually the best way to score the lowest rates and ensure reliable service. Plus, you'll have peace of mind knowing that your roof is being looked after. Revelation Roofing's SmartCARE program helps property managers, HOA's, and owners budget for routine snow removal.


**5. Check your roof in the autumn.** Roof inspections are pretty quick and often free. Fixing any issues before the snow hits means your roof’s ready to handle all that winter weather. It’s also super important to manage how water and snow flow away from your property to avoid costly problems down the road, like foundation damage.


So there you have it—simple steps to make sure you're ready for the snowy season without breaking the bank!

 


Multiple snow events equal 4-5 feet of snow on a rooftop. The snow is compacted and very heavy which is testing the limits of the roof load capacity. A 12 inch ice dam has formed due to the pressure and the freeze thaw cycle that comes with warmer daytime temperatures. Ice dams are difficult to remove and cause roof leaks into the interior of buildings and homes.
