About Summerflex Roofing & Construction LLC

Capitol Hill's rooflines are close together and old enough in places that a hard freeze finds every low spot where water backs up instead of draining. This roofing crew returns to those same roofs in winter for a different reason than usual — clearing snow load and breaking up the ice dams that form along eaves when melt refreezes overnight. From up on a ladder the hill gives a clear view west toward downtown, cranes and towers standing over streets that stay busy even in the cold. Ice dams are patient damage — they don't announce themselves until water finds a way under the shingles, so getting up there before that happens is most of the job. A roofline cleared back down to bare shingle, gutters running free again, is a small fix that keeps a much bigger repair from ever becoming necessary.
