What Ice Dam Prevention actually costs in Erin
Straightforward ice dam prevention on a typical Erin home runs $398 to $637. Complex jobs — multi-storey access, heritage masonry, or downtown parking — push the top end toward $1,034. The variance is almost always access, not the work itself.
Line items to look for on a quote
A clean ice dam prevention quote itemises: labour hours, materials with brand names, dump/haul fees, permits (where required), and a written warranty term. Anything lumped as "misc" or "shop supplies" over 5% is worth questioning.
Why Erin pricing differs from neighbouring cities
Erin's 75% natural gas mix drives which ice dam prevention scopes come up most. 15% of the housing stock predates 1960, which is why ice dam prevention jobs here average slightly more site prep than newer suburbs.
