What we do

Winter Roof Protection, Done as a System

Everything we do solves the same problem: winter water going where it shouldn't. Snow melts, refreezes, dams up, slides off — and depending on your roof, the answer is a heat cable system, an emergency steam visit, engineered snow retention, or some combination designed together.

A quick guide

Not sure which one you need?

The assessment answers it for real — but here's the short version:

Water staining a ceiling or icicles building right now

Ice Dam Removal first. Steam takes the ice off safely; prevention comes after.

Ice dams every winter, or a roof that's had them before

A heat cable system. Ice damming is predictable — the Municipality of Anchorage says so plainly — and a system designed to your roof keeps the drainage path open all season.

A metal roof, or snow sliding off onto anything you care about

Snow retention, engineered to your roof's snow load — often paired with cable so held snow can drain as it melts.

All of the above on one building

That's normal here. We design them as one system, not three separate jobs.

Supporting service

Where the water goes after it comes off the roof

A heat cable system's whole job is keeping a drainage path open. But melted water still has to go somewhere — and on a lot of Anchorage homes, it goes wherever gravity takes it. Water running off a section with no gutter lands at the base of the wall, sheets across the walkway, and refreezes: ice in front of the garage, ice at the entry door, ice on the steps people use every day. Solving the roof and ignoring the ground just moves the problem down.

That's why we roll seamless gutters on site as part of the same job:

5" K-style, formed on site

No seams to split — cut to your exact runs from our own gutter machine.

Pitched and placed for snow country

A set slope to the downspout, heavy-snow hanger spacing, and the gutter face set below the extended roof line so sliding snow and ice clear it instead of tearing it off.

Downspouts placed on purpose

Roughly one per 30–40 feet of run, discharging four to six feet from the foundation — and deliberately not onto walkways or driveways, where the water you just moved would freeze again.

Gutters go on during the first visit, before cable — so the whole water path, roof to gutter to downspout to ground, gets designed as one thing.

Commercial & HOA

Managing an HOA, multi-unit property, or commercial building?

Same engineering, different scale — proposals boards can evaluate, coordinated scheduling, standardized systems across every unit, and documentation for your records.

One assessment covers all of it.

We look at the whole roof — drainage, ice history, slide risk, structure — and tell you what it needs. Sometimes that's one service; sometimes it's a system. You'll understand either way.
