Pro Roofing | Roofing Services in North Pole, AK 99705

We install specialized snow retention systems, like snow guards and bars, designed to hold snow in place and allow for gradual, controlled melting. This prevents large, sudden avalanches of snow and ice that can damage roofing materials, gutters, and anything below. Proper attic insulation and ventilation are also key to minimizing the conditions that lead to dangerous snow slides.

First, we safely remove the ice dam and any backed-up water. Then, we assess and repair any underlying damage to the roof deck, shingles, and interior areas. Crucially, we address the root cause by evaluating and improving your attic's insulation and ventilation. This stops warm air from escaping to melt snow unevenly, which is what creates ice dams in the first place.

For our climate, we recommend impact-resistant asphalt shingles with a high wind rating, or durable metal roofing. Metal roofs are particularly effective as they shed snow more easily and resist ice dam formation. We also use high-quality underlayments and ice & water shields along eaves and valleys to provide an extra layer of protection against moisture infiltration from ice dams.
