Our Company
In the high elevations of Utah, snow is inevitable. But damage to your roof doesn’t have to be. Stratus Roofing provides precision-engineered rooftop snow removal that protects high-end homes and architectural roofing systems from the risks of winter buildup. Every service is performed with care and technical expertise to preserve your home’s beauty and structural integrity through even the harshest conditions.
Heavy rooftop snow accumulation can break loose without warning, which endangers gutters, landscaping, and anything else below. Our snow retention and removal techniques minimize this risk while still preserving smooth architectural flow.
When melting snow refreezes at roof edges, it traps water under shingles or flashing. This hidden moisture can lead to interior leaks and freeze-thaw damage. Our team evaluates roof slope, drainage, and surface temperatures to address ice dams with accuracy.
Snow may appear light, but packed accumulation exerts thousands of pounds of force. This strain can damage framing and underlayment, especially on flat or low-pitch roofs. We mitigate this risk through timely roof snow and ice removal that respects load-bearing limits.
Each snow removal service begins with a structural load assessment and visual inspection to determine snow depth, drift patterns, and priority zones.
We use non-abrasive tools and techniques designed for premium roofing materials, whether that is vinyl membrane, metal, or composite. This helps us avoid disrupting roof finishes or detailing.
Where appropriate, we combine precision snow rakes with roof-safe walkboards and controlled shoveling. Mechanical assistance is used sparingly and only under optimal conditions.
Our team makes sure that eaves, drains, and scuppers remain free-flowing to prevent ice buildup and facilitate consistent melt-off during future snowstorms.
For homeowners that want long-term solutions, we offer custom snow retention system design to manage future accumulation more effectively.
Most luxury roofing systems are designed to handle typical snowfall loads, but when accumulation exceeds 6 inches, or when you notice large drifts or sagging eaves, it’s time to act. Snow adds weight quickly, and even well-built and maintained structures can suffer stress—especially after repeated storms. Proactive snow removal is always safer and more cost-effective than emergency repairs.
Yes, when performed by professionals trained in architectural roofing systems. At Stratus Roofing, we work with a variety of materials, including slate, standing seam metal, composite shingles, and single-ply membranes. Each requires a different snow removal approach, including roof-safe tools and non-abrasive methods. Our crews understand how to preserve aesthetic finishes and prevent scratches or punctures. Our goal is to make sure the roof system’s long-term integrity remains intact.
Absolutely. Flat roof snow removal is one of our specialties—and one of the most important services we offer. Flat or low-slope roofs don’t shed snow naturally, which means water can pool and freeze, adding to the structural load. Our teams remove snow in controlled sections, checking drainage points and seams as we go. We also assess for signs of ponding or ice dam formation that could compromise performance later in the season.
Yes. For primary residences, vacation homes, or luxury rental properties, we offer seasonal snow and ice management plans that include routine inspections, snow load monitoring, and scheduled clearings during high-accumulation months. These plans are designed to protect the roof proactively so you can avoid emergency calls and keep your home’s exterior in peak condition throughout the winter.
Our estimates include a full site assessment, load calculation, material considerations (such as roof type and finish), safety planning, and a recommended schedule for service. If you need same-day service due to an urgent risk, we’ll factor that into your estimate and mobilize accordingly. Every estimate is customized to reflect the architectural details and specific requirements of your home.
