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.

Rob Horton was simply outstanding. Very personable and knowledgeable. Had a small leak around the flashing on my chimney that was coming in the house. Probably could have sealed it myself but at my age the wife, my best friend, does … More not want me on the roof.
Well Rob climbed up and checked my roof saying it was in good shape and sealed off the chimney and another area on the back of the house.
Then followed up after the last rain to check if it was sealed good.
I ever need more roofing help I will only call Kirkness and Rob Horton.
Thanks again -
Kirkness has been my roofer of choice for over a decade. They work with your insurer, provide detailed, itemized estimates and are a locally owned business here in Billings and are invested in doing professional, quality work. They can … More handle jobs that require customized fabrication and leave your jobsite absolutely nail-free and tidy. In 2010, after the tornado, when the city was full of out-of-state roofers of all stripes, we knew that relying on local was best and best for Billings. From the office staff to the roof crews, Kirkness is definitely 5 Stars! I wholeheartedly tell you that you're going to be happy with their work and their integrity.

Recently I had a project that needed fixing on my roof. I was lead to Robert who was working on a project in my neighborhood. He immediately assessed the problem and was able to fix it in short period of time. He showed how much he cares … More about his customers and how willing he is to go the extra mile to see that the job is done correctly. I truly appreciate the kindness he showed.
I highly recommend Kirkness Roofing. If all their employees are like Robert, and I am sure they are, Kirkness has a high quality team working for them. The job they do will be outstanding. I will work with them on any future needs I have.

I called Kirkness after realizing our roof was leaking when it rained, into the house. I've never had to deal with such an issue, and am not well educated on roofing. Rob came out on time, which was a HUGE help because I only had limited … More time due to my work schedule to meet with someone at the home. He was kind, considerate, educational and even went the extra mile to caulk/seal some areas of our roof that had flexed due to the age of the home, to see if that would stop the leaking at no charge. I was skeptical, but it stopped the leak and this was after a previous company came out and tried to convince us to submit an insurance claim and replace the roof.
Rob saved us time, money, and from the fear of having a really awful spring. It's rained a few times since and not a drop. Thank you Kirkness for being there quickly and not taking advantage! We will definitely be coming back in the future! -
Andy was incredibly easy to work with. He is experienced and educated in roofing and insurance and the ONLY person we have ever dealt with that was able to educate and teach, hands-on with our insurance company’s contracted appraisers … More of the roof/window/door damage. Andy was able with patience and determination to get us the MAXIMUM reimbursement for our property damage due to a major hailstorm. YOU would be the fortunate one, if Andy is able to handle your property damages and insurance claim.

We had a complete roof replacement. With the help of Robert we decided on a simulated shake roof. His team did an outstanding install. Fast, professional service. Completed the install in less time than org estimate. The clean up was … More impressive. Would recommend Robert and his team to anyone needing a reroofing project.
