In the right weather conditions, a flat roof can be replaced during winter months.

A flat roof on a commercial building can be repaired or installed during winter months. However, roofing can only take place when the weather conditions allow our crews to work safely and comfortably.

Roofing is not possible when inclement weather (extreme cold, ice and snow storms) exists. At the same time, there are a few advantages to doing flat roof installations during winter months.

For example, flat roofs are easier to tear off in cold weather because the asphalt is more solid. Moreover, the potential risk of water infiltration during the re-roof process is minimized because it typically does not rain during winter months. Conversely, during warm weather months there is always the risk of flash storms.

Snow removal from flat roofs, solutions for ice dams

Every year we hear reports of roofs that collapse after a heavy snow fall. Reduce your risk by arranging safe professional snow removal by the winter roofing professionals at Avenue Road Roofing. On small commercial buildings, the service is performed by a two-man crew working for up to one hour. Cost: $400*. Each subsequent hour is $200.

	Personal injury can occur when large icicles, typically the result of ice dams, fall on high traffic areas around commercial buildings.

Snow and ice removal from flat roofs should only be performed by fully trained, equipped, insured and bonded roofing professionals, which is exactly what you get with Avenue Road Roofing.

Falling ice, typically resulting from ice damming, represents a potentially serious liability problem, especially if the ice falls in high traffic areas (entrance or sidewalk) around a commercial building. Remedies can include the installation of snow guards, roof snow rails and heating cables. Don’t delay. If you had problems with falling ice last year, you will have the same problem sooner or later this winter.
