N.E.W. Contracting | Roofing Services in Rochester, NY 14621

We start with a safe, professional removal to eliminate the moss, which can trap moisture and degrade shingles. Then, we apply a preventative zinc or copper-based treatment to inhibit future growth. Finally, we assess your roof's sunlight exposure and recommend trimming overhanging branches to keep the surface drier, providing a long-term solution tailored to our local environment.

First, we safely remove existing ice dams and assess the damage to shingles, flashing, and underlying decking. We repair or replace compromised materials. Critically, we evaluate your attic's insulation and ventilation, as poor airflow is a primary cause of ice dams. We often recommend improvements here to prevent heat loss and stop dams from reforming, protecting your home each winter.

Absolutely. Prevention is key. We perform an attic inspection to check for adequate insulation and proper ventilation from soffits to ridge vents. By ensuring cold roof temperatures, snow melts evenly and drains off without forming dams at the eaves. We also install ice and water shield membranes at the roof's edge during repairs or replacements for an added layer of protection against any potential water backup.
