🏠 Ground-Based Roof Snow Clearing — What It IS

  • Clearing the first 1-6 feet of snow from roof edges, overhangs, valleys, and above porches
  • Using a specialized snow scoop on a long pole
  • Includes clearing fallen snow off paths or walkways
  • Ideal for bungalows, ranches, sheds with low-pitch roofs

🚫 What It IS NOT

  • Full roof clearing, walking on roofs, or clearing steep/high roofs
  • Not for two-story homes, complex roofs, or where I cannot safely reach the edge
  • No heavy duty shoveling
  • No working at heights — all operations from ground level only

⛔ Winter Service Limitations: No heavy duty shoveling. No working at heights. I must be able to clear with a snow blower and be certain there are no hidden objects that could get sucked into the impeller.
