It’s the time of year when the weather is incredibly unpredictable. Our winter season is becoming increasingly complex for homeowners across the greater Edmonton area. With the season gradually starting later and the snow becoming more unpredictable, it is becoming increasingly challenging to gauge the amount of snow that will fall during the winter.
For homeowners, this is the season that can cause worry. If you’re a new homeowner, once you get the keys to your home, the last thing you may be thinking about is rooftop snow removal.
You should be.
Rooftop snow removal is an important maintenance task to ensure the structural integrity of your home. We’ll discuss when you should consider booking rooftop snow removal services and the benefits of keeping your roof cleared during winter.
When Should I Consider Rooftop Snow Removal?
When you see snow start to gather on your roof, it is a good idea to be aware of its infrastructure and any unique design elements.
Is your roof flat or slightly sloped?
Do the slopes become more gradual across your roof, or does your roof have highly sloped areas?
Do you know how much weight your roof can handle in terms of snow accumulation?
How much snow has accumulated on your sidewalks?
When the snow begins to fall, look for how much snow has gathered on the ground. In Alberta, snow can take no time to build up.
If you see the snow start to build up quickly to 15 inches (or, a visual hint is at the height of your knees), and depending on the style of your roof (a flat roof vs. a sloped roof) and the snow’s texture (wet, heavy snow vs. dry, light snow), it can become dangerous to the infrastructure of your roof and be a danger to the sidewalks below.

The Top Reasons to Book Rooftop Snow Removal
During winter, homeowners across the greater Edmonton area need to understand the importance of regular roof maintenance. If you want to ensure the structural integrity of the roof of your home, here are some important tips to consider when booking your rooftop snow removal:
- Protection for Your Roof, Property and People: It can be quite dangerous to remove snow and ice from your roof by yourself. Instead, have our Knights Roofing team of professionals step in and safely remove the snow from your home’s roof.
- Reduced Liability: Snow and ice can lead to slippery conditions, which can pose the risk of accidents or injury to homeowners and their loved ones. By removing the snow from your rooftop, we can reduce the risk of falls that can lead to injuries and reduce liabilities.
- Providing Peace of Mind: Rest easy this winter knowing your roof will remain clear of snow and ice, minimize the risk of costly repairs, premature replacement of your roof and injuries sustained from falling debris.
- Preserve the Life of Your Roof: Snow and ice build-up can damage the shingles, eavestroughs, and other materials on your roof. It can also block vents, resulting in higher-than-average energy bills. Regularly scheduled snow removal can help extend the life of your roof while maintaining critical infrastructure.
- Proper Drainage of Water: The build-up of ice in the eavestrough as the snow melts and freezes can impact the overall drainage. With our rooftop snow and ice removal, you can ensure your eavestroughs are in proper working order and can efficiently move the ice melt.
