Professional Roof Raking Services in Twin Cities
Removing the snow that weighs on your roof—and mind
Green Horizons safely removes heavy snow from roofs without damaging shingles.
Service taken to a higher level—that's what we deliver with professional roof raking. It's a basic law of winter: Whatever comes down must build up. Unfortunately, many homeowners who have climbed onto a ladder or their roofs have found the opposite also holds true—what goes up must come down. Instead, trust the friendly, expertly-trained Green Horizons snow buildup specialists to remove the snow that weighs on your roof—and your mind.
Our snow buildup specialists are properly equipped to lighten the load on your roof without inflicting damage on your shingles. We use specialized long-handled roof rakes with wheels or rollers that glide across shingles without catching, tearing, or damaging roofing materials. This service taken to a higher level means you stay safely on the ground while we handle the dangerous work.
Depending on the demands of the job and the flexibility of your budget, we will remove snow from the lower 6-8 feet of roofline or clear the surface from gutter to peak. The lower 6-8 feet is the critical zone where ice dams form, making it our standard service. For homes with structural concerns or after particularly heavy snowfalls, we can clear entire roof surfaces.
We also complete the job by cleaning up the snow that falls onto your driveway, walks, or steps. There's no point in clearing your roof if it just creates more work for you below. Our comprehensive approach ensures your entire property stays accessible and safe.
Timing is crucial—we rake after significant snowfall (6+ inches) or when freeze-thaw cycles begin, before melting snow refreezes into ice. Our trained teams work efficiently (most homes take 30-60 minutes) using equipment that protects your investment. Don't risk climbing that ladder when winter's basic law is working against you. Let our specialists provide service taken to a higher level, removing what weighs on both your roof and your peace of mind.
