Empire Roofing of NY | Roofing Services in Yonkers, NY 10701

Ice dams form when snow melts and refreezes at your roof's edge. Our professional snow removal service safely reduces the snow load on your roof, minimizing the meltwater that can lead to ice dams. By proactively managing snow accumulation, we help prevent the water backup that causes costly damage to shingles, gutters, and interiors—a common issue in our Yonkers winters.

Absolutely. Flashing separation around chimneys, vents, and valleys is a stealthy issue common in older Yonkers homes. Even a small gap can allow wind-driven rain and melting snow to seep into your roof deck and attic, leading to hidden rot, mold, and insulation damage long before a leak becomes visible. It's a critical repair to address promptly to avoid more extensive, costly problems.

The ideal time is late spring or early fall. After winter, we can assess any ice dam damage and perform flashing repairs in dry, mild conditions. Addressing these issues before the next freeze ensures your roof is sealed and ready. For preventative snow removal, we recommend setting up a service contract in the late fall before the first major snowfall.
