Ice Dam Removal and Roof Snow Removal Done Safely
Protect your roof and your home with experienced crews who know how to remove snow and break up ice dams without damaging your shingles.
Dealing With an Ice Dam Right Now
If you searched for ice dam removal, roof snow removal, or ice dam damage repair, chances are you are already seeing signs of a problem. Ice dams can trap water on your roof and force it back under shingles where it can cause leaks, ceiling stains, and long term damage.
The best time to act is early. Once you are seeing moisture inside, it is possible the attic has already been exposed for longer than you think.
Why Hiring a Professional Matters
Being on a roof is dangerous even in perfect conditions. When snow and ice are involved, the risk goes up fast.
You want a crew that knows how to work safely on a pitched roof, properly tie off, and take the time to do the job the right way.
You also want to protect your home from accidental damage. Many people try to remove ice dams using metal tipped shovels or aggressive tools, which can crack shingles, strip granules, and create new entry points for water.
In other words, the wrong approach can cause more damage than the ice dam itself.
We Remove Ice Without Compromising Your Roof
The goal is always to remove as much ice as possible without damaging your shingles.
Our crews break the ice dam down as far as they safely can without cracking shingles, stripping granules, or compromising the integrity of the roof system.
This is important because roofing manufacturers do not warranty against ice dams. That means if the ice dam is removed improperly and your shingles are damaged, you may not have a warranty claim to fall back on.
Ice Dams Are Usually Not a Roofing Problem
A common misconception is that ice dams mean your roof is failing. In most cases, ice dams are caused by attic conditions and winter weather patterns, including insulation levels, attic ventilation, and uneven roof temperatures.
Even homes with good ventilation and insulation can still develop ice dams under the right conditions, especially when gutters are involved.
Gutters often contribute to ice dam formation because they are not insulated. Water refreezes there easily, which helps ice build up and grow.

Roofing Reviews From Google
Owner Greg and Jared are consummate professionals. They replaced a pressure treated deck in my backyard. It is well built and aesthetically pleasing.
Great experience remodeling my kitchen and bathroom. Jared was so easy to talk to and understood our vision. Couldn’t be happier with how it all came together!
Extremely professional, reasonable and knowledgeable company. My new siding and new roof look absolutely beautiful. I highly recommend this company!
We are so happy with the results of our porch and siding project! Greg walked us through a comprehensive quote, set realistic expectations of how long the project would take, what unexpected costs could come up and helped us to make decisions on materials to use. Jared was a fantastic project manager that communicated regularly, is extremely friendly (great with our dog!) and answered all questions we had throughout the project. The crews were always on time, cleaned up nightly and were very friendly. We have received many compliments on our home and would absolutely recommend Absolute!
Curious, professional, excellent workmanship and quick. What more can I say. Great company
