About Ice Damage

Ice can pull gutters off, push under shingles and back up water along the eaves. Icicles are a sign that heat is escaping and water is freezing at the edge.

We clear damage, repair the edges and gutters and look at the underlayment and ventilation that help prevent ice from causing trouble.
