Roof snow removal in Lake of Bays

Baysville, Dorset, Dwight and remote cottages across the township.

The Township of Lake of Bays is large and spread out, from Baysville in the south to Dorset and Dwight in the north. A lot of properties are seasonal cottages on roads that aren't maintained in winter, and some are on islands. Distance and access are the biggest factors in roof snow work here.

Common roof snow jobs in Lake of Bays

  • Seasonal cottages that are closed for the winter
  • Storm clearing in the Dorset and Dwight areas
  • Rental properties used in winter
  • Garages, bunkies and sheds with heavy snow
  • Ice dams on heated cottages

Distance and winter roads

Crews may have to drive a long way between jobs and then walk or snowmobile in. Booking a seasonal plan, or grouping with neighbours on the same road, can make it easier to get on the schedule. Island cottages, like those near Bigwin Island, usually can't be reached safely in winter unless the ice is confirmed safe.

Tip for Lake of Bays: Coordinate with neighbours on the same road. A crew clearing three cottages in one trip is easier to book than one.
