About ice dam prevention
Each Ice Dam Prevention project starts with a free or low-cost assessment from our gutter installers, who review roof edge conditions, gutter slope, and downspout drainage. We determine if heated cables are appropriate, where to place them for even heat distribution, and how to integrate with trim and shingles without damaging materials. Our service covers installation, testing, and a brief maintenance check before winter ends. It's ideal for homeowners, small business properties, and rental units in Cranston facing recurring ice dam issues, leaky eaves, or warped siding caused by meltwater. We emphasize safety during installation, using non-destructive methods whenever possible, and we document the layout so you know where the system runs. We stand by careful workmanship, and we'll revisit if weather or building changes require adjustments.
