Frequently Asked Questions

 

Does the Roof Razor work on a shallow pitch roof?
Yes, it does.

Does the Roof Razor work around dormers and angles?
Yes, it does.

Does the Roof Razor go over electrical roof heater tapes?
Yes, the wheels roll over electrical tapes, leaving them fastened as they were.

Are there any problems with vent pipes?
No. No snow collects on a vent pipe, so you simply go to the left, go to the right, and go around without having to remove the Roof Razor from the roof. The same is true of chimneys.

Does the Roof Razor's weight present any problems?
No. While there are lighter-weight products, none remove snow like the Roof Razor does. Where there have been concerns, it has been that the product was too light weight to do the job. But see how our product performed despite these concerns at the 2002 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Is the Roof Razor slide plastic?
No. The slide is specially treated cloth that is slippery to snow yet stays flexible in the cold.

How long will the slide last?
It depends. Sharp edges will cause cuts, for example. But used properly, the slide should last for several years.

Does deep snow on a roof cause problems?
No. The Roof Razor easily removes snow two and three feet deep. But don't take our word for it. See what our customers have said.

What's the maximum roof height the Roof Razor can handle?
The lowest edge of the roof should not be more than 18 feet from the ground. Beyond that height, the angles get too complicated. Click here for pictures of buildings with roofs that are too high.
