Roof snow removal in Port Carling

Large cottages, complex rooflines and boathouses on the big three lakes.

Around Port Carling, many cottages on Lake Muskoka, Lake Rosseau and Lake Joseph are large, with multiple roof levels, valleys, dormers and big decks. Those rooflines trap snow in places that are hard to see from the ground. Many owners also have boathouses with their own roofs, sometimes with living space above.

Boathouses and ice

Boathouses sit over or beside the water, and working on them in winter can mean being near unsafe ice. Crews will decide what's safe to reach and how. Many large properties also have long private roads, so tell the crew whether the road is plowed and who to contact for gate access.

Tip for Port Carling: Ask for photos of every roof section after each clearing, including the boathouse. It's the easiest way to keep track from away.
