Ice Dam Removal, Steam De-Icing & Cold Weather Roof Repair in Cleveland, OH
Winter Roofing in Cleveland, Ohio
Winter roofing in Cleveland is driven by lake-effect snow, freeze-thaw cycles, and aging historic structures. Snow accumulation followed by rapid melt creates ice dams, hidden box gutter failure, and masonry moisture intrusion.
Homes throughout:
- Tremont
- Ohio City
- West Park
- Slavic Village
- Collinwood
frequently experience winter-related roofing failures due to insulation gaps and historic box gutter construction.
Winter roofing in Cleveland is structural moisture control — not temporary patchwork.
Safe Ice Dam Removal – Steam, Not Destruction
Improper ice removal can cause more damage than the ice itself.
We use:
- Low-pressure commercial steam systems
- Controlled melt channels
- Drainage restoration
- Non-invasive clearing methods
We do not use hammers, picks, or destructive chipping that damages shingles or membrane systems.
All winter work is performed using OSHA-compliant tie-offs, harness systems, and controlled roof access procedures to ensure technician and property safety.
Box Gutter Freeze Damage
Internal box gutters are highly vulnerable during Cleveland winters.
Common failures include:
- Frozen trough cavities
- Cracked metal liners
- Wood substrate splitting
- Water backing behind masonry
Winter service includes:
- Steam thawing
- Drainage clearing
- Liner inspection
- Structural trough assessment
Proper drainage restoration prevents repeat freeze cycles.
Ice & Water Shield Installation (Code-Compliant)
When roof replacement or major winter repair is required, we install Ice & Water Shield extending at least 24 inches inside the interior wall line, consistent with Cleveland building requirements.
This ice barrier protects against:
- Ice dam backflow
- Wind-driven melt infiltration
- Box gutter overflow intrusion
Many older Cleveland homes were installed without proper ice shield coverage. Upgrading this layer is critical to long-term winter protection.
Masonry & Parapet Freeze-Thaw Risk
Brick parapets and sandstone transitions absorb moisture during winter melt. Repeated freeze-thaw cycles cause:
- Mortar joint cracking
- Counterflashing separation
- Brick spalling
- Interior plaster damage
Winter inspections focus heavily on masonry transition reinforcement and flashing integrity.
Flat Roof Snow Load & Drainage Control
Flat roofs across Cleveland’s multi-family and commercial properties face:
- Snow compression
- Drain blockages
- Ponding water
- Membrane stress
Winter services include:
- Snow load evaluation
- Drain clearing
- Scupper inspection
- Tapered slope review when ponding is present
Lake-effect snow can accumulate rapidly, increasing structural stress.
Winter Roofing Cost in Cleveland
Typical winter service pricing:
- Steam Ice Dam Removal: $600 – $1,600
- Emergency Leak Repair: $750 – $1,900
- Flashing Repair: $1,000 – $2,500
- Box Gutter Freeze Repair: $1,500 – $5,500
- Snow Load Assessment: $600 – $1,200
Full winter replacements are evaluated case-by-case depending on temperature and safety conditions.
Preventative Winter Protection
To reduce winter risk, we recommend:
- Proper attic ventilation
- Ice barrier installation to 24” inside wall line
- Box gutter inspection before snowfall
- Masonry flashing reinforcement
- Drainage cleaning before freeze
Preventative upgrades significantly reduce interior damage risk.

Great team of guys, very punctual and hard working. Arrived on time and finished as agreed. They did a great job with their setup and cleanup. Benito is great, he was super kind and easy to talk to. Would definitely recommend these guys … More for anyone looking to get their roof done

Excellent Service. Twice Mr. Civic and his journeyman visited the house to assess the sewage drainage issue. Was upfront about what he considered to be the problem and explained many possible root causes. Very professional and knowledgeable … More about his busy business and the subject matter. When my father described a negative experience with another outfit he didn't say anything derogatory about them. My entire family to use if the future for any sewage issues that may arise. Given his business I have expected a dirty truck and/or clothes. Not the case. Buckeye Drain Solutions are who you call when crap hits the fan.

We called because we had a leak in our roof that needed to fix asap. We were trying to hold off till spring but Mother Nature forced our hand and had to do it sooner then later. I called at 4 oclock on Friday and Jessie was at our house … More the next morning at 10am. She was great to work with, explained all our options and gave us the ability to finance as well. 4 days later they arrived and we had a new roof in one day! Complete tear off of existing roof, replaced some damaged plywood and all new shingles. They said they would be there at 730 and they pulled in at 7:25 ready to work. Crew was very detail oriented and did impeccable clean up work. I never want to do a roof again but I know exactly who I would call and you should too!
Pictures attached are as follows: Brown 3 tab shingles are old roof. Blue grey architectural shingles is new roof -
I am a client who had the pleasure of getting the best business from Mr. Benito Garcia and the Castro Crew. Most of all the workers were very knowledgeable of their work with the utmost respect to the client. Mr. Garcia is a pleasant … More man and willing to answer any questions you throw his way.
Thank you S&K for sending out the perfect Crew.

S&K Construction did an outstanding job on my roof.
The crew was professional, fast, and the work is extremely clean. The shingle lines are straight, the ridge looks perfect, and the edges/drip edge were installed correctly. They also … More replaced bad wood the right way and cleaned everything up when they were done. The new Driftwood roof looks amazing on my house and completely upgraded the curb appeal. I highly recommend S&K for quality work and great pricing !! -
S & K Construction replaced our house and garage roofs. They did a great job! Very communicative throughout the process, the work looks solid, and the pricing seemed fair.
The only downside is whatever company they contracted with … More to replace our gutters. They seemed to have done a good job but did not communicate with us (showed up when we were at work) and left a mess behind (lots of shrapnel and rusty nails etc.).
Other than that, I highly recommend S&K themselves and would work with them in the future!
