Lake-effect snow plus a warm attic is the recipe: heat escaping through the roof melts the bottom of the snowpack, the water runs to the cold eave, and it refreezes into a growing ridge of ice. Behind that ridge, melt water pools — and pooled water on a roof goes backward, under the shingles, into the wall.
The fix in the moment is removing the snow load and opening drainage channels through the dam without wrecking the shingles — which is exactly why it is ladder work with hand tools and steam-safe methods, not a guy with a hatchet. If you can see a brown stain spreading on an upstairs ceiling in February, the time to call was this morning.
Say what the house is doing — overflowing gutters, a sag, ice at the eaves. A photo by text speeds everything up.
A straight price for the work described, before anyone climbs a ladder. If we find more up there, you get photos and a choice — never a surprise bill.
Debris bagged and gone, downspouts flushed and proven, and photos of the finished runs so you know what you paid for without climbing up yourself.
★★★★★“I think this is the beginning of a beautiful relationship! :) Beddia Contracting does “everything gutters” (cleaning, replacing, changing), plus power washing and, I think, more. I hired them to clean our gutters and redirect one of them.”
★★★★★“Had a really incredible experience. They power washed our porch and made it look brand new! house looks great and the gutters are all cleaned! They spent a lot of time cleaning and making sure everything was done!”
