I would recommend one that has rollers on the scraping edge. It prevents
damage to the shingles by keeping the scraper just a bit higher than the
shingles. We bought ours at a True Value. It's aluminum with two rollers &
I think 4 handle sections. Total length is 25' I believe . Very nice.

MOO,

I live in NY state and had roof ice dam damage in a past year. Ever since
then I've had additional under-eave ventilation vents put in and try to
keep parts of my roof clean (to some degree) of winter snow using a long
handled shovel. My roofer recommended a roof rake with a telescoping
handle system.

Can anyone who has used one of these comment on how well it works, what
types/brands are recommended, width of the blade, etc.
They all seem to look similar and are constructed the same. The only
difference that I can see (on the internet) is that they are of varying
widths (blade).

Any assistance / recommendations are appreciated.

Thanks!
Walter
