Some Twinsburg, Hudson, and Macedonia properties form ice dams every single winter — and their owners call us in a panic every January or February. A seasonal monitoring plan flips that dynamic: we know your property before the snow flies, you're first in line when conditions deteriorate, and we respond before ice dams become emergencies.
WHO THIS PLAN IS FOR
The monitoring plan is designed for homeowners who have already experienced recurring ice dam problems — not properties that ice dam occasionally. If you've called us (or another contractor) for ice dam removal two or more winters in a row, a monitoring plan will serve you better than reactive emergency service.
Good fit for a plan
- Had ice dam removal 2+ winters in a row
- Complex roof geometry (dormers, valleys, additions)
- Older home with limited attic insulation
- Rental property or second home — can't monitor conditions yourself
May not need a plan
- First-time ice dam — one-time removal makes more sense
- Planning major prevention work (insulation + ventilation) this off-season
- Simple roof geometry with isolated problem area
- Have already installed heat cables that are working
WHAT'S INCLUDED
Pre-Winter Inspection
A thorough roof, attic, and eave inspection in October or November — before the first significant snowfall. We identify and flag vulnerable areas and make minor corrections on the spot.
Priority Emergency Response
When a major Lake Effect event hits and our phones are ringing, plan members go to the top of the queue. You're first in line — not waiting 3–5 days behind non-plan customers.
Proactive Snow Removal
After significant storms, we contact you proactively for roof snow removal — before ice dams form. For recurring-problem properties, prevention beats reaction every time.
Season Documentation
Photos of your roof pre-season, mid-season, and post-season. Useful for tracking roof condition year over year, and supports insurance documentation when needed.
PLAN VS. REACTIVE SERVICE
$800–$2,000
Monitoring Plan / Season
- ✓ Pre-season inspection included
- ✓ Priority response — top of queue
- ✓ Proactive snow removal outreach
- ✓ Season documentation included
- ✓ Predictable cost — no surprise bills
$600–$2,400+
Reactive Emergency Calls / Season
- – No pre-season check
- – Standard queue — may wait 3–5 days
- – You call us after damage starts
- – No documentation package
- – Variable cost — one bad storm = big bill
For properties that ice dam annually, the monitoring plan typically costs the same or less than reactive service — with better outcomes and less stress.
HOW TO ENROLL
Plans are set up in the early fall — before the first snow. We review your property's ice dam history, walk the roof, and quote a plan based on your specific property. Enrollment is limited each season by the number of properties we can responsibly commit to serving.
