Ice Dam Removal
Leading Ice Dam Removal Company
As local Billings roofers, Kirkness Roofing Inc. understands that our community receives it’s fair share of rain, hail, sleet and snow. According to the National Weather Service, the city of Billings receives about 28 inches of snow annually, about the same amount as the national average. While white winters may be beautiful; snow, sleet and ice can cause quite a bit of havoc on your property, especially your roof.
The Kirkness Roofing Inc. team has diligently been serving the greater Billings, MT area for the last 20 years and in all those years we’ve recognized that ice dams are a common problem for homeowners in the area.
What Is An Ice Dam?
Ice dams are an accumulation of ice on various parts of your roof, depending on the slopes. They tend to occur most often near the roof edges. When the layers of snow on your roof melts, this water collects and freezes again forming an ice dam.
Dangers of Ice Dams
Ice dams place tremendous pressure on the roof structure of your home. The moisture of these dams also significantly damages your shingles, gutters and downspouts. Melting ice may cause leakages in your home if there are gaps and holes in your roofing system. And for those who are not careful, you also risk being hit by falling icicles and large chunks of ice breaking off as it heats up.
Effective Ice Dam Removal By Kirkness Roofing Inc.
At Kirkness Roofing Inc., we believe that the safest and most effective way to remove ice dams is with the power of steam. Fighting fire with fire as some would say. The ice dam steaming system that we use functions using high temperatures but low pressure. The high temperatures effectively and efficiently melts the ice on your roof, this water either evaporates or drains away from your home. The low pressure of the steaming system protects your shingles as high pressure systems tend to chip away at your roofing materials.

I initially expected Kirkness Roofing to be a typical contractor, but they truly exceeded expectations at every turn. They handled my roofing, siding, and gutters with precision and care—each job was done right the first time. What impressed … More me most was their commitment to quality. I assumed they’d use standard-grade materials, but instead, they consistently delivered superior products.
On top of that, Kirkness stayed in my corner for over six months, navigating countless conversations with my insurance company to ensure I received the best possible outcome. Their dedication and patience made a stressful process feel manageable. I’m genuinely glad I called them and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend their services. -
I had a concern about my roof, so I called Kirkness Roofing who had installed it back in 2014. Andy and his son came out the very next day and gave me a free follow up inspection. They were both very knowledgeable and put my mind to rest. … More It’s nice to see a company take care of its customers. Highly recommend them.

We needed a contractor to inspect our roof during the sale of our home. Robert Espinoza inspected our roof, made the necessary repairs and let us know that a new roof was definitely not needed. We appreciated his expertise, honesty and … More integrity. He provided the report to us the next day on a Saturday morning! Definitely above and beyond and I highly recommend this company.

My moms roof needed replaced BADLY. She wasn’t able to get homeowners insurance because of the condition the roof was in and has been there for just over 3 years. It got even worse with the recent hail/wind storm that came through. Kirkness … More stopped to look at it and they patched up a couple spots. Shortly after, they called and offered an awesome deal to help her replace the roof! We thought it could potentially be a scam or there had to be some sort of catch but nope! They were there early yesterday morning and were done in the afternoon. They left no mess behind & we no longer have to worry about how long the roof is going to last. Our minds and hearts were blown away by the amount of kindness we received from Kirkness & we will definitely be returning customers for any future needs! Thank you SO much!

I noticed a stain and a crack in the living room ceiling earlier in the week and knew I needed to find someone local who could diagnose the issue and make the repairs necessary. I called Kirkness Roofing on a Saturday morning and was pleasantly … More surprised at how quickly Andrew, the General Manager came out. I showed him the stain and crack in the ceiling and he quickly found the problem. A rubber boot had split around an HVAC pipe and he was able to fix it right there on the spot. Andrew is one of the nicest people you’ll ever encounter and knows the business. I’m grateful I called him, and I know you will be too.

During a recent windstorm, part of our roof cap tore off exposing the open area which could allow the environment to gain entry. We contacted our insurance agent and a claim process was initiated. Expecting to be under warranty from the … More prior installer, they came out and said the entire roof needed to be repaired. We again contacted our insurance agent as this seemed to be pretty extreme.
I was then speaking with a friend, and he said maybe get a second opinion to verify the findings of the previous install company. I did and Kirkness was suggested by a couple of people.
Andrew and Zach came out and looked over the roof. There was moderate damage except for the area of wind damage. They did not think a full replacement was the best path to take and suggested repairing the small damage area thus saving us the cost of our deductible.
They returned the following day, made the repair and you can't tell there was any damage. I missed them before they left and when we called Andrew for costs, he said don't worry about it, materials were minimal, and the 40 minutes was a way of saying thanks for calling us to provide service.
This will go a long way if and when I need further assistance with any of my roofing needs. Truly service excellence demonstrated by Andrew, Zach and Kirkness roofing. -

I highly recommend Kirkness.
