Ice Dam Removal

How It Works:

Every year, your house should be rinsed off with a light bleach and water solution to rid the house of dirt, grime and mildew. After the wash, we will walk around the house with the owner to see what touch-ups need to be done such as re:caulking of column bases. We will check your house from the roof to the foundation and give recommendations in order to keep your house fresh and new.

During the winter months, ice can build up in your gutters. When the temperatures begin to rise water will go in the back of the fasher board which will result in pealing. Due to the temperate zone we live in where temperatures can range from 0-100, wood expands and contracts. This results in broken caulking and pealing.

If regular maintenance is done annually, we are able cut the cost of painting your home in half. Rather than waiting until the house needs to be fully repainted.

How Savings are Achieved:

By not having regular maintenance performed annually, our job is more extensive and the cost is much greater when you are ready to paint. We will have to scrape the house, fill in where needed, sand the problem spots, prime the house, and top coat the entire house. When we perform the annual maintenance, all that is required is a light sand, minor fixing and top coat.
