Roof-safe tools only — never steel shovels that gouge shingles or metal.

Unoccupied lake and coastal properties carry Maine's deepest untouched snowpack.

Self-regulating cable at the eaves so next winter's melt drains instead of damming.

Technicians clear the snowpack alongside the roof slope before touching the ice, so the steam reaches the actual dam instead of melting a foot of snow above it.

Under 300 PSI at roughly 290°F. The heat does the work, not the force — it slices melt channels through the ice without contacting the membrane or shingle surface.

Heavy ice blocks are segmented and lowered deliberately, never dropped, so nothing lands on lower overhangs, gutters, utility lines or pedestrians below.

Internal drains and scuppers cleared, then before-and-after photos of every roof section for your records, your board, or your insurance claim.

Pressure washers running 1,000+ PSI strip shingle granules and can fracture EPDM, TPO and modified-bitumen membranes — turning an ice problem into a roof replacement.

Manual chipping tears roofing materials, punctures membranes and voids manufacturer warranties. There is no careful way to swing a hatchet on a commercial roof.

Salt compounds corrode metal flashing and coping, degrade roofing components, and kill the landscaping and hardscape they run off onto.

Dislodging tons of frozen weight without rigging tears away commercial gutters, damages utility lines, and creates a serious liability event over walkways and entrances.

Apartment complexes, condo associations and student housing — one point of contact for every building in the portfolio.

Storefronts, plazas, warehouses and office parks. Off-hours and overnight work so business hours are never interrupted.

Large spans, older roof systems and public foot traffic — where egress and liability come first.

Pre-season agreements that put your buildings first on the list when the storm hits, instead of calling around after.
