Commercial Roof Snow Removal in Florida: Be Ready When Winter Weather Strikes

Snow isn’t a regular problem in Florida—but in North Florida cities like Jacksonville and Tallahassee, occasional snowfall and ice storms can still put your repair at risk. Flat and low-slope roofs are especially vulnerable to snow load damage, ice dams, and membrane stress.

At Roof Nuts FL, we offer commercial roof snow removal services to safely clear snow and ice buildup from your roof when winter weather hits unexpectedly. If you’re managing a warehouse, retail center, school, or office building, it’s important to be prepared—even for rare weather events.

Why Snow and Ice Can Damage Commercial Roofs

✅ Excess Weight
Even a few inches of wet snow can add thousands of pounds of pressure to your roof. Flat roofs don’t shed snow like sloped roofs, so the weight accumulates quickly.

✅ Ice Dams and Ponding
Melting snow can refreeze at drains or scuppers, causing ice dams that trap water on the roof. This leads to ponding and membrane deterioration.

✅ Membrane Cracking
Rapid freeze-thaw cycles can cause roofing materials to expand and contract, stressing seams, flashings, and penetrations.

✅ Drainage Blockage
Clogged scuppers or frozen internal drains prevent proper runoff, increasing the chance of leaks.

What We Do During Roof Snow Removal

At Roof Nuts FL, we use safe, non-damaging methods to clear snow and ice from commercial roofs:

1. Initial Roof Assessment
   We inspect your roof for weight load risks, drainage points, and membrane condition before starting work.

2. Manual Snow Removal
   Using plastic shovels and non-metal tools, we carefully clear snow to avoid puncturing the membrane or damaging flashings.

3. Ice Management
   We apply approved de-icing agents near drains and scuppers to help restore proper water flow.

4. Post-Clear Inspection
   Once cleared, we inspect for damage, leaks, or weak areas and provide a report with any repair recommendations.

FAQs: Commercial Snow Removal in Florida

Do I need snow removal if it only snows once a year?
Yes—because a single snow event can cause major problems for flat commercial roofs not designed for snow loads.

Can my maintenance crew do it?
Only with extreme caution. Walking on a snow-covered roof is dangerous and may void your roof warranty if damage occurs. It’s safer to call pros with the right training.

Will snow cause my roof to collapse?
Not usually—but older roofs or those with pre-existing damage can be at risk under heavy, wet snow or ice accumulation.

Do you offer emergency snow removal?
Yes. We respond quickly when storms hit to reduce your risk of roof damage or business interruption.
