Does shoveling your roof prevent ice dams?

• <div><p>Removing snow from your roof can help prevent ice dams, but the best thing to do is address insulation issues in your attic. If you do decide to remove the snow manually, you should always use a roof rake rather than a shovel. You shouldn’t climb your snowy roof in any circumstance, and roof rake allows you to remove the snow from the ground or a ladder. For the best results, remove snow as soon as possible after it falls.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain a slate roof?

• <div><p>Regular inspections, cleaning gutters, and replacing broken tiles help extend its lifespan.</p></div>

Q: What chemicals do you use for soft washing?

• <div><p>Soft washing chemicals typically consist of a mix of sodium hypochlorite (or a chemical component of bleach) and water. While sodium hypochlorite and bleach are often thought to be the same thing, there is one small but key difference between the two: sodium hypochlorite comes in powdered rather than liquid form, which means that it&rsquo;s also more concentrated and more effective from less product overall.</p></div>

Q: What are the best chemicals to use to clean a metal roof?

• <div><p>For the best chemicals to clean a metal roof, stick to gentle detergents such as dish soap, laundry detergent, or car-wash soap mixed in a diluted solution of &frac14; cup of soap to 1 gallon of water. These mild cleansers are safe for most roof finishes but are still strong enough to remove remaining dirt particles. Chemicals like bleach or acids can damage your roof, poison landscaping and grass, and pose a hazard to you and your family. If your roof is very dirty or you think it requires chemical cleaning, call a roof cleaning professional.</p></div>

Q: What time of year is best for roof cleaning?

• <div><p>The best time of year for roof cleaning depends on the climate in your area, but in most cases late spring or early summer are the best times. You should plan to clean your roof when it&rsquo;s dry and not too hot or cold. It&rsquo;s also a good idea to clean your roof in the late autumn to remove any built-up debris like leaves or branches. On the other hand, you shouldn&rsquo;t clean your roof when it&rsquo;s too cold, because you can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-prevent-ice-dams.htm">cause ice buildup</a>.</p></div>

They had to travel a long distance to do the job. Must be groups closer that could do it. Always cheerful. They took off and replaced solar panels on my roof.

518 Remodel came on time for the project, they were knowledgeable and courteous, the roofs and gutters looks good. So much better than what I had before. And they cleaned up after themselves. All in all , it was a good experience, I would hire them again.

Overall we may have to sue Kodiak in order to have the entire rear roof removed and rebuilt properly. We got no satisfaction from Kodiak and no sense that they back their work up. Their integrity seems to be totally lacking and rather than admit that by using inferior materials and changing the...
