Twin Cities Roof Snow and Ice Removal Services
Protecting Your Townhomes, Condominiums, Apartments, and Co-ops With Professional Winter Services in St. Paul and Minneapolis
Snow and ice are part of life in the Twin Cities, and most property managers have learned to expect it every winter. While Minnesota winters bring challenges, they’re also what make our state unique. But when snow piles up on your townhomes, condominiums, apartments, and co-ops, it can create real problems. Heavy accumulation stresses roof structures, and ice dams can cause serious water damage inside your units. That’s why having a reliable partner for roof snow and ice removal matters.
BEI Exterior Maintenance has served the Twin Cities property management community since 1994, helping building owners protect their properties when winter conditions become hazardous. We respond quickly with the right equipment and experience to keep your buildings safe.

Our Winter Services
Every property manager knows that winter maintenance can’t wait. When snow gets heavy or ice dams start forming, you need someone who understands multi-family properties and can respond fast. BEI Exterior Maintenance delivers solutions for commercial buildings and property management groups in the Minneapolis–St. Paul area.
We work with the unique challenges that townhomes, condominiums, apartments, and co-ops face during Minnesota winters. Our crews arrive with proper equipment for buildings of all sizes and configurations. We work efficiently to clear snow and remove ice while protecting your roofing materials. As your one call for property management repairs and replacements, we’re here when you need us most.
Snow Removal
Heavy snow on your roof isn’t just an inconvenience – it can be a real problem. Our roof snow removal service tackles dangerous accumulation before it causes structural issues or creates ice dams. We use the right tools and techniques to protect your roofing materials while clearing heavy loads efficiently. Our crews know how to work on flat roofs, low slope roofs, and shingle roofs, and we professionally assess each situation to determine the safest approach.
Ice Removal
Ice dams need special attention and the right approach to avoid damaging your roof. We carefully remove ice formations that trap water and cause leaks in your units. Our process includes finding problem areas where ice has formed, safely breaking down ice barriers, and clearing drainage paths to stop water from getting in. We never use methods that damage shingles or roofing membranes. This protects your investment while solving the immediate problem.
Benefits of Protecting Your Properties From Snow and Ice
Regular snow and ice removal is one of those maintenance tasks that pays for itself. When you stay ahead of winter buildup, you avoid bigger problems down the road. Property managers who work with us appreciate the peace of mind that comes from proactive maintenance.
Here’s what professional snow and ice removal does for your property:
- Prevents Structural Damage: Heavy snow can overload your roof structure, leading to sagging or even collapse in extreme cases – removing it protects your building and your residents
- Stops Water Infiltration: Ice dams force water under your roofing materials, causing ceiling stains, wall damage, and ruined insulation in your units
- Reduces Liability Risks: Falling ice and snow can injure residents or visitors, and professional removal eliminates these hazards
- Extends Your Roof’s Life: The freeze-thaw cycle that happens with ice buildup wears down roofing materials faster than normal aging
- Keeps Property Values Strong: Well-maintained buildings attract and retain quality tenants
- Creates a Service Record: Documentation of proactive maintenance helps with insurance matters and shows responsible property management

Ice Dam Buildup in Minneapolis
Ice dams form on your roof when heat escapes through your roofing system, melting snow that then refreezes.
Minneapolis winters create perfect conditions for ice dam formation, especially on older buildings with insulation or ventilation issues. These ice barriers trap water behind them, forcing it under shingles and into your building envelope. Once water penetrates, it damages insulation, creates ceiling stains, ruins drywall, and can lead to mold growth.
BEI Exterior Maintenance provides ice dam removal services that address the immediate problem while also offering insulation and ventilation services to prevent future formations. Our infra-red thermal imaging service can identify heat loss areas that contribute to ice dam development, helping you make informed decisions about long-term solutions.
The Dangers of Snow and Ice Buildup
Snow and ice are a fact of life in Minnesota, and most of us love it! Much of what Minnesota is known for is born out of our relationship to snow – hockey, ice fishing, snowmobiling, skiing, broomball, and more. But as snow and ice pile up on the roof, ice dams can be a real problem for your residential or commercial building.
This is why it is a good idea to have someone who can provide ice and snow removal from your property’s roofs.
Snow Build Up
A single snowflake is light and airy, but as the snow piles up, so does the weight. As snow accumulates on a roof, it can have devastating effects, as we all saw when the Metrodome roof collapsed in December 2010.
Researchers for the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety have found that 1 inch of ice, 3-5 inches of packed snow, or 10-12 inches of new snow equals about 5 pounds of weight per square foot of roof space. That means if you have two feet of old snow and 2 feet of new snow on your roof, it could weigh as much as 60 pounds per square foot, which is more than the typical snow load capabilities for most roofs. Periodic roof snow removal can prevent heavy snow loads from causing your roof to collapse, particularly during snowy winters.
Ice Build Up
Ice dams can create significant problems for your buildings. As the water from melting snow reaches cooler air at your roof’s eave area, it refreezes, causing the water behind it to back up under your roofing materials and make its way into the structure below. As it penetrates inside your building, it can cause rotting and mold inside the walls. Although not all ice dams mean interior damage, it is best to have them removed as soon as possible. Then, when time and conditions permit, consult a BEI professional who can suggest ideas for a more permanent solution to this issue.
BEI can remove excess snow and ice dams from your roof. We also install de-icing cables to help provide a more continuous relief of ice damming. Contact us today to see how we can help your roof weather winter.
