Roofing in the Winter.
« Back To Roofers TalkLike OS - We just don't do much.
We don't remove much snow from roofs - We will however, if a client wants to pay us & think they just have to have it off there.
I got concerned about a temp. bldg. I have....2x6 @ 24" - 16' span - 2x4 Lateral @ 48" - pro-panel - just pulled-off 36" of wet/dense snow. That was a lot of weight!
Unless there's sub-standard structural issues - leave it alone.
The forecast is pretty good for next week. Finally above freezing. We were going to do a 6 sq. flat this week but I couldn't get the 3" of ice off the roof. We're going to let Mother Nature take care of it and do it next week.
Ok, you guys got me. I realize now that I was just being a big cry baby because my plans got delayed by a "whole day". Nearly all the snow melted away today and the roads are mostly dry. :huh:
But like I said, my hats off to you guys that deal with this kind of stuff all the time! ;)
Your repair business ought to boom because of that snow though! We get ice around here a lot, which does the trick. Maybe a day of snow isn't enough...
