LUCKY LINE ROOFING
Montana-Tough Ice Dam & Snow Protection
You Can Trust
Licensed • Veteran-owned • Livingston-based
Winter hits hard in Montana, and when ice dams, heavy snow, or clogged gutters threaten your home, Lucky Line Roofing shows up fast. We safely remove ice buildup, clear dangerous snow loads, and fix gutter issues before they turn into leaks or interior damage. Straight talk, honest estimates, and workmanship built for Montana winters.
Rooftop Winter Services We Provide
At Lucky Line Roofing, we focus exclusively on rooftop services. We don't have equipment for driveways, sidewalks, or parking lots — we specialize in keeping your roof safe from Montana's harsh winter conditions.
Our licensed crew uses professional equipment like the Arctic Steamer and proven techniques to protect your home from ice dam damage, snow load collapse, and winter water infiltration.
Ice Dam Removal with Arctic Steamer
Safe. Fast. Damage-Free.
Ice dams form when heat escapes through your roof, melting snow that refreezes at the eaves and traps water behind it. This trapped water seeps under shingles, causing interior leaks, ceiling stains, and structural damage. We use the Arctic Steamer to safely remove ice dams and create drainage channels — stopping leaks before they start.
Rooftop Snow Removal
Prevent Collapse. Protect Your Home.
Heavy snow loads can stress roof structures, cause sagging, and lead to catastrophic collapse. We safely remove excess snow from residential and commercial rooftops using proper techniques that protect your roof surface. Our crew knows when snow removal is necessary and how to do it without causing damage.
Gutter Services & Maintenance
Complete Gutter Solutions for Montana Homes
Your gutters are your home's first line of defense against water damage. We provide comprehensive gutter services including installation, repair, cleaning, and winter de-icing. Properly functioning gutters prevent foundation damage, basement flooding, landscape erosion, and ice dam formation. Our year-round maintenance keeps water flowing where it should — away from your home.
Warning Signs You Have an Ice Dam
Don't wait until you have interior damage. Call us for emergency Arctic Steamer service if you notice any of these signs:
Large Icicles Hanging from Gutters
Icicles indicate water is freezing at your roof edge — a telltale sign of ice dam formation.
Water Stains on Ceilings or Walls
Interior water damage means ice dams are already forcing water under your shingles.
Ice Buildup at Roof Edges
Visible ice ridges along eaves and valleys trap melting snow and create leaks.
Water Overflowing Gutters
Frozen gutters force water to overflow, damaging fascia, soffits, and siding.
Sagging Gutters or Roof Edges
Heavy ice buildup can pull gutters away from your home or stress roof structures.
Uneven Snow Melt on Roof
Snow melting in patches indicates heat loss — the root cause of ice dam formation.
The Safest Way to Remove Ice Dams
We use the Arctic Steamer — a specialized ice dam removal machine that uses high-temperature steam (290°F) at low pressure to safely melt ice dams without damaging shingles, metal roofing, or gutters.
Unlike chisels, hammers, or high-pressure washers that can tear shingles and void warranties, the Arctic Steamer protects your roof while effectively removing ice.
No Roof
Damage
The Arctic Steamer uses gentle low-pressure steam that melts ice without tearing shingles, denting metal, or causing granule loss. Your roof stays intact and your manufacturer warranty remains valid.
Faster & More Effective
Steam cuts through ice dams quickly and completely, creating drainage channels that allow trapped water to flow safely off your roof. We remove the entire ice dam — not just chip away at the surface.
Works in Sub-Zero Temps
Our crew repairs with contractor-grade materials, tight flashing, and clean cleanup. We back our work with a 2-year workmanship guarantee.
Why Steam vs. Traditional Methods?
Chisels & Hammers
Tear shingles, crack tiles, dent metal, and
often cause roof leaks that cost thousands
to repair.
Hot Pressure Washers
High pressure blasts away protective granules and can force water under
shingles, leading to leaks.
Arctic Steamer (Our Method)
Low-pressure steam safely melts ice without physical contact or force — protecting your roof investment.
How Our Ice Dam Removal Works
Fast emergency response with professional Arctic Steamer equipment and guaranteed results.

Prevention Tips
We inspect your roof and provide recommendations to prevent future ice dams — including insulation, ventilation, and gutter improvements.
Complete Gutter Services
Protect your Montana home with professional gutter installation, repair, cleaning, and maintenance services. Properly functioning gutters prevent thousands of dollars in water damage.
Gutter Installation
New construction or replacement gutter systems custom-fit to your home. We install seamless gutters that reduce leaks, match your home's aesthetic, and provide reliable water management for years to come. Proper sizing and placement ensure maximum protection.
Gutter Repair
Fix sagging gutters, seal leaks, reattach loose sections, and repair damaged downspouts. Montana's freeze-thaw cycles can stress gutter systems over time. We identify problems early and make lasting repairs that prevent water damage and extend gutter life.
Gutter Cleaning
Remove leaves, debris, and sediment that clog gutters and downspouts. Clogged gutters overflow, causing foundation damage, basement flooding, and ice dam formation in winter. We recommend cleaning twice yearly — spring and fall — to keep your system flowing freely.
Gutter Guards & Protection
Reduce maintenance with gutter guard systems that keep debris out while allowing water to flow through. Ideal for homes surrounded by trees or hard-to-reach rooflines. Gutter guards extend cleaning intervals and reduce the risk of clogs during heavy rain or snowmelt.
Downspout Installation & Extensions
Properly positioned downspouts direct water away from your foundation, preventing basement flooding and soil erosion. We install new downspouts, add extensions, and ensure water drains at least 6 feet from your home's foundation for maximum protection.
Winter Gutter
De-Icing
Frozen gutters trap water on your roof, contributing to ice dams and overflow damage. We use the Arctic Steamer to safely clear ice blockages without damaging gutters or downspouts. Emergency service available when Montana winter weather strikes.
Why Proper Gutters Matter in Montana
Prevent Foundation Damage
Water pooling around your foundation causes cracks, settling, and structural problems. Gutters channel water away, protecting your home's most expensive component.
Stop Basement Flooding
Overflowing gutters saturate soil around your basement walls, leading to seepage, mold, and costly water damage. Proper drainage keeps basements dry year-round.
Protect Landscaping
Uncontrolled water erodes soil, damages plants, and creates muddy messes. Gutters preserve your landscape investment and maintain curb appeal.
Prevent Ice Dams
Clogged gutters trap water that freezes and backs up under shingles. Clean, functioning gutters reduce ice dam risk and protect your roof in Montana winters.
Avoid Fascia & Soffit Rot
Overflowing water soaks wood trim, causing rot, paint failure, and insect infestations. Gutters protect these vulnerable areas from constant moisture exposure.
Extend Roof Life
Proper water management reduces moisture exposure that degrades roofing materials. Well-maintained gutters help your roof reach its full lifespan.

Frequently Asked Questions
Because protecting your Montana home from winter damage starts with honest answers.
Question 1: What is an ice dam and why is it dangerous?
An ice dam is a ridge of ice that forms at the edge of your roof, preventing melting snow from draining properly. Trapped water backs up under shingles and leaks into your home, causing ceiling stains, wall damage, insulation saturation, and even mold growth. Ice dams can cause thousands of dollars in interior damage if not removed quickly.
Question 2: Why is the Arctic Steamer better than other methods?
The Arctic Steamer uses low-pressure steam (not high-pressure water) to safely melt ice without damaging your roof. Traditional methods like chisels, hammers, or pressure washers can tear shingles, crack tiles, dent metal roofing, and void manufacturer warranties. Steam is the only method recommended by roofing manufacturers and insurance companies because it protects your roof while effectively removing ice.
Question 3: How quickly can you respond to an ice dam emergency in Livingston,MT?
We offer 24/7 emergency service for ice dam removal across Montana. In most cases, we can respond same-day or within 24 hours depending on weather conditions and demand. When you call, we'll assess the urgency and schedule service as quickly as possible to prevent further damage to your home.
Question 4: Do you remove snow from driveways or sidewalks?
No — we specialize exclusively in rooftop services. We don't have equipment for driveways, sidewalks, or parking lots. Our focus is protecting your roof from ice dams, heavy snow loads, and winter damage using professional-grade equipment like the Arctic Steamer. This specialization allows us to deliver expert rooftop service you can trust.
