Roof snow removal in Bracebridge

Older in-town homes, newer subdivisions and closed-up cottages nearby.

Bracebridge has a mix of older homes near the downtown and the falls, newer subdivisions, rural properties and cottages along the Muskoka River and Lake Muskoka. Older homes with add-on porches and low-slope additions tend to collect the most snow, and ice dams are common on homes with less attic insulation.

In-town considerations

Older Bracebridge lots can be close together, so snow coming off the roof may land on a driveway, walkway or the neighbour's side. Crews will ask where snow can go and what's underneath, like gas meters, AC units or a deck.

Tip for Bracebridge: Before a crew arrives, move your vehicle away from the eaves and mark anything buried under the snow that they should avoid.

Bracebridge questions

My older Bracebridge home gets huge icicles every winter. Is that an ice dam?

Large icicles and thick ice along the gutters are a common sign of ice dams. A crew can remove the ice, and an insulation contractor can look at the cause later.

Can the crew clear just my porch roof?

Yes. Clearing one low-slope section like a porch or addition is a common, smaller job.
