Copper Roof Installation in Oakville to Prevent Ice Dams

One challenge we faced during this Oakville project was solving recurring ice dam issues on the roof. The homeowner reported frequent build-up of ice and leaks along the wall during winter.

To address the problem, we installed a copper roof section on the lower 4 feet of the roof. Copper naturally absorbs heat, especially on cold sunny days. This extra warmth helps melt snow and ice before it can cause damage.

Since the installation, the homeowner has noticed a major reduction in ice dams and snow build-up along the eaves.

End Result: A more durable roof system and an Oakville home now better protected from harsh Canadian winters.
