  • Number of roof sections affected

Before you hire in Dearborn

Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes

The typical home in Dearborn was built around 1952. Painting, window, siding and remodeling work that disturbs paint in homes built before 1978 must follow the EPA lead-safe (RRP) rule. Ask any contractor for their RRP certification before work starts.

Older plumbing and sewer lines

71% of homes here were built before 1960, when cast iron drains, clay sewer laterals and galvanized supply pipe were standard. A sewer camera inspection before buying or remodeling is cheap insurance.

Permits: check with the Dearborn building department before work starts.

Compare quotes

How to compare ice dam removal quotes

  • Ask whether the crew uses low-pressure steam rather than chipping or pressure washing.
  • Confirm the crew is insured for roof work and check the license on the LARA lookup.
  • Ask for photos before and after and a note of any shingle damage found.
  • Ask what is causing the dam and get a separate quote for prevention.
  • Compare hourly versus per-job pricing and any minimum charge.

Ice Dam Removal in Dearborn: FAQ

Pulling snow off the lower roof with a roof rake from the ground is fine. Climbing on an icy roof or chipping ice is dangerous and can damage shingles.
Heat cables can keep a drainage path open in problem spots, but they do not fix the heat loss causing the dam. Air sealing and insulation address the cause.
Ask whether the crew uses low-pressure steam rather than chipping or pressure washing, whether they carry insurance for roof work, and check any roofing license on the LARA lookup.
