NJ_Winter Snow Doesn't Stop Us & Ice Damming

Winter Snow Doesn’t Stop Us. Neither Do We.

Roofing Done Right, All Winter Long.

Snow on the roof does not mean your project has to wait. At Asch Roofing, we work through the winter months because roof problems do not follow a seasonal schedule, and neither do we. While some companies shut down as soon as the temperatures drop, our crews are trained, equipped, and experienced to safely complete roofing projects in cold weather. A light snowfall or winter chill is not a barrier to quality workmanship when the right precautions are in place.

We Work in the Winter, Safely and Responsibly

We believe in doing the job the right way, not the rushed way. Winter roofing is absolutely possible when conditions allow and safety comes first.

Here’s how we approach winter projects:

If a roof is unsafe to walk on, we wait. Period. Your home and our crew matter more than forcing a schedule.

When We Will Not Work

Transparency matters. We will not work when conditions are unsafe.

That includes:

If the work cannot be accessed safely, the project is rescheduled. No exceptions.

Ice Damming

What It Is, Why It Happens, and How Asch Roofing Helps

Ice damming happens when melting snow refreezes at the edge of your roof, creating a ridge of ice that traps water behind it. Once water backs up, it can seep under shingles and into your home, leading to leaks, stains, damaged insulation, and even mold. If you are seeing heavy icicles, thick ice along the gutters, or interior water spots during winter, it is time to take it seriously.

What Ice Dams Look Like

Common signs around your home include:

Ice dams can form even on newer roofs when ventilation, insulation, and drainage conditions are working against you.

Why Ice Dams Form

Ice dams usually come down to a temperature difference on the roof.

This is why ice damming is often less about “too much snow” and more about airflow, insulation, and roof system design.

Why Ice Dams Are a Problem

Ice dams are not just an exterior nuisance. They can cause:

If the cycle repeats each winter, the damage compounds.

What You Can Do as a Homeowner

If you suspect ice damming:

• Remove snow safely from the roof edge when possible, without damaging shingles
• Keep gutters and leaders clear so water can drain when temperatures rise
• Watch for recurring stains or dampness inside, even if the leak “stops” when it warms up

Avoid chipping ice off shingles, using salt products directly on the roof, or attempting DIY fixes that can cause more damage or void warranties.
