Do heated roof cables prevent ice damming?

• <div><p>Yes, and they do it exceptionally well. Heated roof cables have two purposes: melting snow and preventing ice buildup. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-causes-ice-dams.htm">Ice damming</a> <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-prevent-ice-dams.htm">happens when ice forms on the roof</a> (usually where the roof meets the gutter) and melts stubbornly slowly, causing moisture to enter the roof itself and, therefore, the home. </p></div>

Q: Is it worth it to clean your roof?

• <div><p>Roof cleaning isn&rsquo;t a necessity, but it can drastically improve your home&rsquo;s curb appeal and even prolong the life of your roof, so it&rsquo;s often a great investment. It&rsquo;s especially a good idea if shaded parts of your roof experience algae or moss growth, which can damage the shingles and hold water against them, increasing the risk of a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/7-unexpected-dangers-leaky-roof.htm">roof leak</a>.</p></div>

Q: Is it possible for homeowners to clean roofs safely themselves?

• <div><p>While DIY cleaning is feasible, it's risky without proper equipment or experience. Hiring professionals ensures safety and effectively avoids damage.</p></div>

Q: What is the best way to clean a roof without damaging it?

• <div><p>The best way to clean a roof without damaging it is to opt for soft washing, or better yet, leave it to a professional roof cleaner. Soft washing involves a biodegradable cleaning solution being sprayed on the roof and gently rinsed away after it dissolves built-up residue on your shingles. </p></div>

Q: Are tile roofs high maintenance?

• <div><p>One <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/common-roof-types-tile-shingles.htm">upside of tile roofs</a> is that clay, concrete, and slate tiles require fewer repairs and less care than most other roofing options and are considered low-maintenance materials. Aside from as-needed repairs, annual inspections, and routine gutter cleaning, your tile roof won&rsquo;t demand any maintenance and can provide 50 to 100 years or more of worry-free protection for your home.</p></div>

Fantastic. Mr. Morse arrived and went straight to cleaning the residues in our chimney. He also adviced us on the proper maintenance and upkeep. He is a delightful gentleman that also provides many services including steeple repair.

Dan was professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and stood on the roof in the bitter cold sweeping the chimney clean. His fee is competitive. He explained what he was going to do and took time to give me information about operation of my stove and how to minimize creosote formation in chimney.

Everything about their service was fine. I was very satisfied with the work they did. They were very meticulous. I found out that their pricing was not the cheapest as well as the most expensive. Other company's service price was 130.

"We had a great experience with Shamrock. My husband is an architect and pretty much knew what needed to be done to remove a wood burning stove from our fireplace and restore it to a working fireplace before anyone arrived to give us a quote. We had several contractors come by and try to tack on extra unnecessary add ons using scare tactics. Gary from Shamrock came and not only was he honest about what needed to be done he also assessed that we needed some repair work done to our chimney which my husband already knew had to be done. We were very pleased with the removal of the wood burning stove , the chimney repair and his promptness and professionalism. Honesty goes a long way especially when you are unaware of what the clients knowledge of the situation is. I would highly recommend and ask for Gary. "
