May I vent? I live in Massachusetts and am coping with a series of snow storms beginning about three weeks ago. Each storm has dumped about 10+ inches or more with no melting in between. I must say, I am getting claustrophobic with the drifts.
My little house is 1 1/2 stories high and a roof rake will not reach the roof from the ground. I called a local roofing company and asked them to drive by and recommend a clearing or not. The cost will be $400. They advertised the service and unless I am willing to climb a ladder, I need to hire a professional to do this. I could try to find a local guy but am concerned about liability. What if the local guy falls off the ladder? Or damages the house?
The roofer explained that part of the problem of cost is finding adequate footing to set up the ladders to climb to clear the roof. I had a similar job done in 2011 after a series of storms with no melting in between.
Oiiii! I feel it must be done as more snow is predicted and it's very deep up there. I am afraid for my little house. The job is scheduled for Friday of this week. The company was prompt, gave an estimate and are ready to do the work. Oh, the cost of a happy home :(
