Roof Replacement
A great way to reduce ice dams from forming on your roof is to replace it with a metal roof. These roofs shed snow well and can help keep your home cozy. They are resistant to snow and moisture, all but eliminating the presence of ice dams above your home.
Window Replacement
Old windows tend to be drafty, which can cause discomfort in your home. By replacing them with newer, more airtight windows, you can prevent moisture from entering your home and going up to your roofing system.
