Stellar is Your Source for Ice Dam Removal Services in Buffalo

Hatchets, hammers, and shovels crack shingles, tear off granules, and split flashing. DIY ice dam removal in January is one of the most reliable ways to turn a manageable leak into a full roof replacement. We use low-pressure steam that melts ice at the roof surface without touching the shingles—and we don’t stop there. The airflow problems that let ice dams form in the first place get corrected too, using EPA-aligned ventilation standards, so the same problem doesn’t come back next winter.

Ice Dam Problems We Resolve

Ice dam removal is the immediate fix—but it’s also an opportunity to address what caused the dam in the first place. These are the three root causes we find most often.

If ice dams form every winter, removal is temporary. The permanent fix is roof ventilation correction plus attic insulation upgrades. We diagnose the specific airflow failure on your home.

When a dam has already let water into the ceiling below, steam removal is only step one. Our leak repair team seals the entry point, and for storm-related damage our storm repair team handles full-scope recovery.

Chipped ice takes flashing, shingles, and gutters with it. If you or a prior contractor damaged components during removal attempts, we repair shingles through asphalt shingle repair and rebuild damaged gutter sections in the same visit where possible.

Looking for Ice Dam Removal Services in Buffalo?

Lake-effect winters in Buffalo are relentless, and ice dams don’t wait for a convenient time to cause damage. Stellar Roofing has been handling ice dam calls across Buffalo, Cheektowaga, Lockport, and Welland since 2008. We’re locally owned, family-operated, fully licensed, insured, and BBB A+ accredited. Call (716) 271-7502 for your free estimate.

How fast can you get here? Same-day dispatch is standard during business hours, and after-hours calls route through our live answering service.
Will steam damage my shingles? No. Low-pressure steam melts ice at the roof surface without harming shingles or flashing.
Why shouldn’t I use calcium chloride or salt? Salt damages shingles, corrodes flashing and gutters, and kills landscaping below the eave.
Will ice dams come back next winter? Only if the underlying cause, usually poor ventilation or insulation, is not addressed. We diagnose it while we are there.
Is ice dam damage covered by insurance? Interior water damage often is. Removal itself usually is not. We document what we find.

Ice dam problems almost always connect to two other systems. Our roof ventilation team addresses the airflow cause, and our leak repair team handles water intrusion from the dam itself. For damaged shingles, see asphalt shingle repair. Call (716) 271-7502 with any questions you have. We’re here to help.

Long icicles hanging off the eave, a thick ridge of ice above the gutter line, water stains on interior ceilings near exterior walls, and wet insulation visible in the attic all point to an active dam backing water up under your roof. Our emergency repair team can stabilize the situation while we plan proper removal.

Do not climb your own icy roof. Call (716) 271-7502, we have the equipment, the experience, and the insurance to handle this safely, usually the same day you call.
