Our first snow of the season in Southern Maine

Our first snow of the season came in with a couple of different waves. The first was snow and then heavy rain with strong winds. Maine's weather is really living up to the statement of "If you don't like the weather Now, just wait for a few minutes" and yes it changes quick. The cold is now beginning to freeze the ground which make everything else outside frozen solid.

Most people think that our work stops during the winter, but really it get very busy helping homeowners with ice dam problems, roof shoveling and interior water damage caused by the build-up of snow and ice. We have our roof shoveling and roof maintenance packages available for you, we are on call if you need something and you will be put on our priority customer list, so when it snows we will be there for you automatically.

We are finishing up the 2009 season, which has been another challenging time for homeowners with the current credit availability for home improvement projects. We are working closely with local banking institutions to find loan programs and funding for roofing, metal roofing, vinyl siding, replacement windows, and seamless gutter projects. We are all hopeful that the economy will begin to turn around. So people find new jobs and get their lives back on track.

Every time I go past the Maine Mall the parking lot is full, and all the restaurants are packed. Which leads me to believe, everything is going to be just fine. If you have any problems this winter call us, e-mail us or go to our website and request a free estimate. I would like to thank all of our customer, current and past, for their confidence and business. So Christmas is right around the corner and from all of us at David J. Deschaine wish you all a very Merry Christmas, and A Happy New Year in 2010.

Is your roof ready for the winter?













Is your roof ready for winter?
Remember those cold days, and long winter nights? Is your roof ready? We can’t forget the major snow storms that dropped several feet of snow each storm, and broke records all last season. We shoveled over 100 roofs during last years season, and I can honestly say, I have never seen so much Ice and snow create so much interior water damage.

After the last winter season had past, we started researching some other methods for ice removal, and ice dam prevention. We have found a good company that created a de-icing system, that eliminates ice dams from forming automatically along the eves and in the valleys. This de-icing system has a thermostat that will turn off and on when the temperature falls below 40 degrees. This system is very expensive, and requires a dedicated circuit from your main electrical panel.

This system will prevent interior damage from happening. We also have our roof maintenance, or roof shoveling packages available for the season. Anyone who would like to be put on our priority customer list please contact our office for more information. With a purchase of one of our winter roof maintenance packages, you can also request a winter inspection with one of our roofing specialist. I will begin my weekly blog entry's, so make sure to check in for more of Dave Deschaine's Southern Maine Home Improvements. See the winter roof shoveling video below.
