Dependable ice dam removal for Jamaica Plain homeowners from Roofing Brothers — measured on site, done on schedule, and cleaned up after.
Chipping ice off a Jamaica Plain roof with a hammer does more damage than the ice did. We melt and work it off carefully, then check the eaves and the flashing for what the dam already opened up.
Roofing Brothers has been doing ice dam removal since 2002, first around Morganton, North Carolina and now for Jamaica Plain homeowners through our network of local crews. The standard has not moved: measure it right, fasten it right, and never cut a corner where water can find it.
Before any ice dam removal starts in Jamaica Plain you will know the price, the material and the schedule. Estimates are always free, and nobody is going to push you to decide while somebody is still standing in your driveway.
How a job actually runs, from the first phone call to the last magnet pass over the driveway.
We come when it suits you, get on the roof, and look at the parts that actually tell us something — flashing, valleys, fasteners and the eaves.
You get a written price with the material named and the work spelled out. No charge, and no number that expires if you do not sign that day.
We tell you how many days it should take and roughly what will be happening on each of them.
We work in the right order — decking, underlayment, flashing, then panels or shingles — and we do not skip a step to finish a day early.
Questions homeowners ask us about this kind of work.
No. Estimates for ice dam removal in Jamaica Plain are always free. Somebody comes out, gets on the roof, and leaves you a written price with nothing attached to it.
Always. On every Jamaica Plain job we cover the beds, haul debris away as we go, and run a magnet over the driveway before we leave. The ice dam removal is not finished until the yard is clean.
Most Jamaica Plain homeowners get somebody out for a look within a few days, and ice dam removal is usually scheduled a week or two after that, depending on weather and materials.
Metal is our specialty, so ice dam removal on a standing seam or panel roof in Jamaica Plain is familiar ground for us. We work on shingle, slate and low slope roofs just the same.
What people said once the job was finished and the trucks were gone.
"Nice work on the roof and good communication throughout. I would have liked a little more warning about the dumpster arriving, but that is a small thing."
"Thank you so much to the entire crew at Roofing Brothers for our amazing new tin roof! You were amazing to work with and I couldn't recommend you to others enough! Great communication, pricing, color options, efficiency, and HONESTY! If anyone needs a new roof, I highly recommend this crew! Phenomenal job."
"They reroofed the porch and matched it to the house so well you cannot tell where the old work stops and the new starts."
