How to get a Snowblower on a Roof – Damage to Roof
More importantly is the potential damage you can cause to the shingles as you move the snowblower along the roof. The tires are going to dig in and dislodge shingles. The scraper on the snow blower is going to catch shingles and tear them off. A lot of damage will be done to the roof. This can cause leaks later on when the snow begins to melt.
Whatever you are thinking, don’t try this as a solution. If you cannot get up on the roof yourself, hire someone to clear the snow off. Make sure that they do this in a safe manner to avoid any potential injury from falling. Personally I use a snow rake. It allows me to stand on the ground and pull the snow off the roof. It is hard work, but a whole lot safer. If you are the couch potato type, you may want to hire someone to do this. Many heart attacks are caused by unaccustomed overwork.
