Billy's Handyman Service | Handyman & Roofing in Rochester, NY 14606

Ice dams are a major issue for Rochester homes. We help prevent them by ensuring proper attic insulation and ventilation to keep your roof cold, and by installing or repairing gutters to ensure proper drainage. Our roof inspections can identify weak spots before winter, and we perform repairs to shingles and flashing that are vulnerable to ice damage.

In Rochester, it's often both. Moisture can come from roof leaks, poor ventilation, or clogged gutters causing water to back up under the roof edge. We'll perform a full inspection of your roof, soffits, and gutter system to find the source. Solutions may include roof repair, adding roof vents, or installing new gutters with proper downspout extensions to direct water away from your foundation.

Given our heavy snow and rain, all our gutter services are crucial. Regular gutter cleaning is essential to prevent clogs that lead to ice dams. We also recommend seamless gutter installation or replacement for better durability and fewer leaks. Adding gutter guards can significantly reduce maintenance. Properly installed and maintained gutters are your first line of defense against the water and ice damage common in our area.
