What should I expect to pay to have my roof shoveled off?

It's a small ranch about 600 ft.².

Heated gutter wires for the 🏆

I’ve found that if you toss a couple of lit M80s close to the top of the roof the snow just slide right off. YMMV 😎

I gotta ask. Have you ever really tried it?

I was all set to fly up from Florida to take care of my mom’s house but she’s 89 and this might bring an end to both the roof and my mom so…

Burn the house down. Only way to get all of the snow off.

I'm not sure ..since, even though it was snowing here at my house, it didn't stick...except for my dock...

Of course, I might have to worry about hurricanes... 🤣

Just don’t try this

It got rid of the ice and snow --- and the roof...

Myself, I wouldn't recommend that...

A guy in Milton MA did that trying to use a blowtorch to melt ice in his gutters. Set the soffit on fire and it took off from there.

I don't use my front door, so I didn't notice until this afternoon what was left when my roof was cleared. I only paid him $200, but seriously, this is nuts.

Yup, only paid to clean off the roof and access areas are extra. People these days. Too bad they left it like that. Saw a house in our neighborhood yesterday where the owner has not cleared the front door. You could not exit as the storm door would not be able to opened. They must always use the garage. Always think of emergency exits Yarders as in a fire situation a preferred exit could be blocked. And every Winter we have an increase in structure fires.

I have a roof rake. It's not nearly as easy as it looks. I have two feet of snow around my house. I damn near had a heart attack just walking around my house to see how the roof looks.

Didn't you once ask the Yard about heated roofs?

Metal roof. Too expensive, but a neighbor has a metal roof and it is snow free.

I don't know about that, but a few M80s might get rid of this pile of snow.
