Roy Metal Roof Snow Removal
We clear snow from metal roofs safely, managing the sudden slides these slick surfaces are known for.
Metal roofs shed snow fast, and that is the problem. A sheet of snow can let go all at once and land on walkways, entries, vehicles and utility meters. Washington Snow Removal clears metal roofs in Roy, Pierce County, by hand, so the load comes off in a controlled way.
Roy does not get snow often. It averages 6.2 in per season and has snow on the ground about 4 days a year. But storms do happen, and the largest since 2005 left 15.4 in. We are licensed, bonded and insured. Call 206-809-9669 to talk through your roof.

What Metal Roof Snow Removal Involves in Roy, WA
Metal roof work is mostly careful hand work from the ground or from safe access points. The goal is to take down snow in sections, away from doors, walkways and anything below the eaves. We pay attention to the roof surface, because metal panels scratch and can be slick.
Roy's snow pattern shapes how we plan. Only 1.8 days a year bring 1 in or more, so most winters need little or no roof work. When a real storm arrives, it tends to be a heavy one. Roy saw 15.4 in over Feb 11–15, 2021, with 7.1 in on the biggest day. Feb 9, 2019 brought 7.4 in in a single day, and Feb 5–6, 2017 totaled 9.9 in. Roy also has 42 freezing nights from Oct to Apr, so snow that melts by day can refreeze at the eaves and on the ground below.
What a visit can include:
- Removing snow from the roof in sections
- Clearing the ground beneath the eaves where slides land
- Hand shoveling of nearby walks and entries
- Checking for ice buildup at edges and drip lines
