On 03/08/2016 I wrote a more positive review. This company did extensive roof insulation/ventilation remediation which they said would essentially eliminate our ice dam problems. However, unlike the 2016 winter with almost no snow and warmer temperatures, and now that we have finally had a significant snow, ice dams 2 to 3 inches thick plus long icicles are back! It appears we spent many thousands of dollars for a fix that is not working. Very disappointed and I can no longer recommend this company nor would I hire again."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ny/canajoharie/the-climate-chief-llc-reviews-6364197.htm"},"position":4},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Jeffrey Mason","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"NY","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Jaime W."},"reviewBody":"Jeff and his team did a great job.

In spite of a great realtor to help guide you through the process, purchasing a home is a stressful process - so many deadlines, so many parties involved, and the emotional aspects, too! We are in the process of buying a home and needed a home inspection as part of the process. The deadlines for all of the inspections to be completed was March 21. The home inspector came and did the home inspection on Friday, March 14. However, due to the ice and then snow storm of the previous 2 days, the inspection of the roof could not be completed. The home inspector said that he would be able to get back to inspect the roof on Monday or Tuesday (March 17 or 18). However, this didn't happen, and he left for vacation on Wednesday, March 19. By now we were under a real time crunch to get the roof inspected and to get a report back by Friday, March 21. I called Star Improvements, Inc and explained my situation to the person in the office who answered the phone. She was wonderfully friendly, kind, and knowledgeable. She took all of my information and the inspector, John Espar called me back within an hour. He was great and when he learned of my time constraint, was able to get to the house, get the inspection done, and get a report to me a little afternoon on Friday! This is my first interaction with people at Star Improvements and I can't say enough good things about the experience. Everyone that I interacted with was professional, knowledgeable, kind, prompt and punctual. They went out of their way to help. Their responsiveness made a stressful situation a lot less stressful! Thank you. If we end up purchasing this house, I will definitely be in touch with them to do the work!

I called them this morning after discovering water dripping between the storm window and inside window. It was starting to damage woodwork and paint. We had 24" of snow a few days ago, but since it had been very very cold, there was no ice dam until the temperatures moderated. I had been watching icicles developing for several days, and had the buildup continued, we would have had water within the wall, the insulation, and wet sheetrock and plaster, because there was a lot of snow still on the roof. I called Tom at Ultimate Roofing based on a very positive review by another Angie's List member.
Tom was very courteous and said he would come the same day, which he did a couple of hours later, arriving with another equally courteous and friendly employee. Tom gave me a very reasonable estimate, and the pair got to work. They not only removed the snow that I had asked them to remove, but removed a lot more.
Because the estimate had been very reasonable, I added 20% as a tip although in no way was additional payment suggested by them. They also didn't try to sell a roofing job for the future!
I'd hire them again without hesitation.

The work was completed on time. Steve Currier told me all about his experience and professionalism and told me all about how he provided excellent service after the sale. He talked about how he was local and was dependant on referrals and repeat business. Unfortunately, during the following winter, snow and ice melted and leaked into our kitchen. We call Mr. Currier for assisntance. He did not return our calls or provide follow-up service. In April 2010, two large sections of the roof became unattached and slid off the roof onto the ground crushing the landscaping below. We also sustained interior water damage due to the poor quality roof. I immediately called Mr. Currier's phone number. I ended up leaving a voice mail. Mr. Currier did not return my call. I made additional attempts to reach him. Mr. Currier was nonresponsive. At this point I did the following:
I contacted my insurance company. Their inspector determined the problem was poor workmanship and poor installation. The shingles were not nailed through the reinforcing strips on the shingles as specified by Owens Corning. The proper number of nails were not used. The nail heads came through the shingles indicating the nails were installed too deep puncturing the shingles.
I sent example shingles from the roof to Owens Corning. They inspected the shingles and concluded there were no problems with the shingles manufacturing. Owens Corning concluded the shingles were not installed per their installation guidelines.
I got estimates from other roofing companies for roof repairs or replacements. Each roofing company recommended replacing all of the shingles on the roof because of the poor workmanship done by the previous roofer.
Mr. Currier still had not returned my calls. We hired another roofing company to replace the roof on the house.
We contacted a lawyer about recovering our costs from Mr. Currier. We successfully sued Mr. Currier. The court found in our favor and issued a judgment order against Mr. Currier. Mr. Currier has been officially contacted 3 times requesting payment over a 9 month period. Mr. Currier has not paid the judgment or contacted us in any way to arrange payment.
I can not recomment Steve Currier for roofing, contracting, or any other services. We found him to be unresponsive and unreliable. "},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ny/ballston-spa/stephen-currier-roofing-and-contracting-reviews-8063822.htm"},"position":10}]}

FAQs for roof ice and snow removal projects in Malta, NY
Generally, snow removal from a roof should occur once over six inches of snow accumulates, especially if you notice that ice dams have formed. Without ice dams, you can let the snow accumulation hit 12 inches before removing it. However, the amount of snow that is too much for your roof also depends on the sturdiness of your roof and the compactness of the snow. If your roof needs maintenance or has structural issues, it’s best not to let the snow accumulate too much for fear of collapsing.
While it is possible to remove snow from your roof without a professional, we don’t recommend it. Accessing your roof can be a dangerous task; pair that with slippery ice and snow that can be heavy to move, and you have a very risky problem on your hands. This dangerous situation becomes more high-risk when there’s a snowstorm or your roof has a steep pitch. To ensure that everyone stays safe, be sure to call a roof snow removal specialist to complete this job with the proper tools and equipment.
While removing every snowflake from your roof is unnecessary, you should remove a significant buildup of snow. Since snow is wet and heavy, it can easily cause damage to your roof, which can lead to needing costly repairs.
Additionally, when the snow melts but has nowhere to go and refreezes, it can create an ice dam, causing mold concerns due to water leaking into your attic and ceiling. For these reasons, it’s best to hire a snow removal professional to clear heavy snowfall from your roof as soon as possible.
Yes, some homeowners insurance policies cover roof damage caused by snow. However, these full or partial payouts can vary depending on the age of your roof and other related factors, like the overall condition it was in before the snowfall. It’s best to check with your specific homeowners insurance policy to determine snow damage coverage and exclusions.
The cost of removing snow from a roof averages between $300 and $700. However, this cost can range from $200 to $3,000, depending on the size of your roof, the amount of snow, and roof accessibility.
Since snowfall can range from light powder to heavy and condensed snow, part of the price of roof snow removal depends on the amount and type of snow. For 12 inches of snow, you can expect to pay between $200 and $2,000 for this job. However, for 24 inches of snow, that price rises to $300 to $3,000.
