Roof Rakes

When winter weather hits, keep heavy snow from accumulating on your roof. Pick up a snow roof rake from Ace and prevent damage to your home from excess snow.

When several inches of snow sit on your roof an extended period of time without melting, it can cause structural issues to your home’s interior and exterior damage. And when the snow does begin to melt over extended period of time, it can leak into your rafters and eventually through the ceiling. Fortunately, roof snow rakes can help you to prevent snow damage to your home.

Roof rakes allow you to safely remove snow from the outside. They consist of a long handle that helps you to reach up onto your roof from the ground. At the end of the handle is a wide blade usually made of a strong metal or poly material. As this blade runs across the roof it pulls the snow from the roof without damaging it. When using a roof rake it is important to remove the snow as soon as possible after it falls so that it does not have time to build up too high or develop ice which may make removal difficult.

If heavy snowfall is common where you live, a roof rake is an essential winter tool for your home. Check out our entire selection of winter products including snow shovels, snow blowers and ice melt, for all of your snow removal needs.
