The most effective prevention combines proper attic insulation and ventilation to maintain a uniform roof temperature. We also recommend installing waterproof underlayment at the eaves and keeping gutters clear. For existing homes, we can assess your current setup and recommend targeted upgrades to stop ice dams before they cause costly damage.

In our climate, flashing is exposed to freeze-thaw cycles, moisture, and de-icing salts, which accelerate corrosion. We fix it by carefully removing the damaged sections, preparing the underlying surface, and installing new, high-quality flashing sealed with durable, weather-resistant materials to ensure a long-lasting, watertight barrier.

Often, yes. We start with a thorough inspection to assess the extent of water damage to sheathing and shingles. If the structure is sound, we focus on localized repair: replacing damaged shingles, repairing any compromised decking, and addressing the underlying ventilation or insulation issue that caused the ice dam to prevent future problems.
