Meyers is the unincorporated community at the base of Echo Summit and Luther Pass, where US-50 and SR-89 meet. Roofs here deal with deep, long-lasting snow, ice dams at the eaves and freeze-thaw cycles, plus wildfire season every summer and fall.
We connect Meyers homeowners with licensed roofers for repairs, replacements, snow and ice work, inspections, metal roofs, gutters and Class A fire-resistant roofing.
Meyers: local conditions that matter
- Unincorporated El Dorado County, so building permits go through the county, with TRPA review inside the Basin.
- Homes sit close to forest and meadow, which puts defensible space high on the list.
- Winter storms coming over Echo Summit can bring heavy snow to roofs and decks.
- The 2007 Angora Fire burned nearby neighborhoods and is a lasting reminder of wildfire risk here.
Snow and ice on Meyers roofs
In Meyers, snow can sit on a roof for months. Ice dams at the eaves are one of the most common causes of winter leaks, and design snow loads are high. Check with your building department for the requirement at your address.
Fall prep, like clearing needles, fixing flashing and planning where snow will slide, heads off most mid-winter problems.
Many Meyers homes are second homes. Inspections with photos, plus checks after big storms, help owners catch leaks before they spread.
