Roy Flat Roof Snow Removal
We clear snow from flat and low-slope roofs where drainage is poor and loads concentrate quickly.
Flat roofs in Roy do not shed snow the way pitched roofs do. Whatever lands stays put until it melts or someone clears it. Washington Snow Removal, based in Bothell, sends crews to Roy to clear snow from flat roofs by hand.
Roy averages only 6.2 in of snow per season, but single storms can be heavy. The February 11–15, 2021 storm dropped 15.4 in in total. We are licensed, bonded and insured. Call 206-809-9669 to talk through your roof.

What Flat Roof Snow Removal Involves in Roy, WA
Flat roof work in Roy is mostly hand work. Crew members shovel snow off the roof surface and move it to a safe spot, taking care around drains, vents, skylights and rooftop equipment. The aim is to take the weight off without damaging the roofing membrane.
Roy's snow pattern is uneven. The city sees only 1.8 days a year with 1 in or more of snow, and snow sits on the ground about 4 days a year. Then a big event arrives. Feb 9, 2019 brought 7.4 in in one day. Feb 5–6, 2017 brought 9.9 in in total. Nov 22–23, 2010 brought 7.3 in. The 2021 storm gave 7.1 in on its biggest day and 15.4 in overall.
Roy also has 42 freezing nights from October to April. Meltwater from a roof can refreeze overnight and block drains or leave ice at edges. Clearing snow early helps limit that.
