Tips On Shoveling Your Roof 

When you shovel your roof , leave 2-3 inches of snow on your roof. If you shovel down to the shingles, you may damage them. And, if you shovel in an upward motion, you can rip or tear the shingles fright off.

Be careful when you hire someone to shovel your roof. An inexperienced person can do more harm then good. Don't make the mistake of hiring someone that is not fully insured or you you run the risk of incurring great liability if that person falls off your roof while shoveling.

A snow rake is a popular tool, but there are downsides to snow raking. If you only rake part way up the the roof, all you are doing is pushing the ice dam farther up the roof. The best solution is to remove all of the snow, letting mother nature take her course.
