Services
Protect Your Property All Year Long
Ontario winters bring heavy snow, ice buildup, and freezing temperatures that threaten your property's integrity. Accumulated snow adds dangerous weight to your roof structure, while ice dams force water beneath any roofing material, including asphalt shingles, metal, composite, and shakes, causing interior damage.
ELSA Roofing delivers comprehensive winter services across York Region, Durham, and Simcoe County. Our experienced team responds quickly to winter weather events, using professional equipment and proven techniques to safeguard your home or business throughout the harshest months.
Protect your property
before winter damage strikes.
Roof Snow Removal
Is snow accumulating on your roof faster than it can melt?
Heavy snowfall creates excessive weight that can compromise roof structure and lead to collapse. When snow covers your roof vents, it blocks proper attic ventilation, leading to moisture buildup, heat imbalance, and increased risk of ice damming. This makes snow removal critical.
Our team safely removes all accumulated snow from your roof using specialized tools that won't damage the material. We then apply de-icer to critical areas where ice typically forms. Finally, we clear all pathways below from fallen snow, ensuring safe access around your property.
Ice Dam Removal and Prevention
Notice icicles hanging from your eavestroughs or water stains on interior ceilings?
Ice dams form when heat escapes through your roof, melting snow that refreezes at the eaves. This ice barrier traps water, forcing it under your roofing and into your home.
Before removing or preventing ice dams, we assess why they're forming in that specific area. We evaluate whether ventilation is inadequate, whether insulation is missing or insufficient, or whether the issue is due to weather conditions. This diagnostic approach ensures we address the root cause, not just the symptom.
We then safely remove existing ice dams without damaging your roofing materials. For long-term protection, we install heating cables along vulnerable roof edges. These cables come with automatic sensor/thermostat controllers for hands-off, energy-efficient operation during freezing conditions, preventing ice dam formation before water damage occurs.
Driveway Snow Removal
Stuck with a driveway that can't handle traditional plows?
Many driveways feature delicate paving stones, stamped concrete, or tight spaces where plows cause damage. ELSA Roofing provides manual snow clearing using commercial-grade snowblowers and hand shovels for precision work.
We remove every trace of snow without harming your driveway surface. After clearing, we apply a professional de-icer rated to -40°C, giving you reliable traction even during extreme cold snaps.
