After watching the snow build up on our roof, then watching roof and after roof of local buildings collapse due to the weight of the snow, I decided that the three feet on our roof should probably be removed. I did what I could but due to the pitch of the roof and the constant dumping of new snow, I found this not to be an easy task. Then I saw a report on TV about a crew that goes to homes to remove snow on roofs. I noticed their technique, but I more interested at the price they were charging; $300 for the small roof they were clearing on TV. So, I’m starting up a new business, roof snow removal. You can see by my pictures of a house I recently worked on above as proof of the quality of my work. I have also devised an easy to follow formula to be used to accurately calculate the cost of each individual job.
A – (area of the roof)
x D – (the depth of the snow)
V – (volume of the snow – and they say we never use math in real life)
x P – (the pitch of the roof)
x 100 – (just because)
- 10s – ($10 for every shingle removed)
+10p – ($10 for every picture taken during the job)
- 5a – ($5 for every adult beverage provided, more if provided during this calculation process)
As an example, if you have a 100 sq/ft roof with 3 feet of snow, a 45 degree pitched roof, three shingles removed, two pictures taken of me on the roof, and two beverages; your total cost would only be $3480, with no extra or hidden charges. Clients in Alabama, Texas, and California are automatically eligible for reduced rates.
Also, I’m in the process of patenting an idea on how I could get a snow blower on the roof. If you want in, let me know immediately.
