How Roof Snow Removal Works in Roy, Pierce County
Roof snow removal is hand work. Crew members use shovels and roof-safe tools to take snow off the roof and move it clear of walkways, doors and vents. The aim is to lower the load without damaging the roofing.
Roy's snow pattern is occasional but sharp. Since 2005 the biggest storm was Feb 11–15, 2021, with 15.4 in in total and 7.1 in on the biggest day. Jan 15–19, 2012 brought 12.9 in, including 8.3 in in a single day. Feb 9, 2019 dropped 7.4 in in one day. Nov 22–23, 2010 totaled 7.3 in. Because snow is rare, many roofs go years without a heavy load, then face one all at once.
Cold nights add to the problem. Roy sees 42 freezing nights between October and April. Snow that melts by day and refreezes at night can leave a heavier, icier layer on the roof.
What affects the job at your property:
- Roof pitch, height and access
- Depth and weight of the snow
- Ice buildup near edges and gutters
- Where cleared snow can be placed
