Morons. The time to roof rake has been all along, not just now. I’ve been doing it since the first snow storm in December. (M)assachusetts has had over six feet of snow and well over 100 roof collapses around the state. If you’re just doing this now: 1) you’re never going to find a roof rake and 2) you’ve already let too much accumulate and the job is going to be brutal.
People never cease to amaze me.
In fairness, it really depends on how big the house is. I own a two story house with an attic and the roof rake only reaches so high. I’m able to keep my garage and shed roofs clear but can only reach the bottom 2-3 feet of my upper roof with the rake. It helps prevent ice dams but no way am I able to get higher up without putting myself in danger. Fortunately the upper roof has more pitch to it so the snow tends to slide off rather quickly when the sun comes out.
Well over 100 roofs?
Has gov whatshisname declared the state a disaster area?
