No doubt about it. Free is good. And our free snow retention layout service is a very good benefit for roofing contractors, architects and property owners nationwide.
"We specialize in fine-tuning a plan until all parties are happy," says Quirk. "Sometimes this means going through several versions because people may wish to see a comparison of different types of products, like snow fences versus snow guards. Or people may want to look at whole home protection versus select location protection. We provide guidance, education and information."
Our Quote Department routinely creates about 30 project quotes a day. Design and Quote Specialist Andy Gutierrez works with Dylan, responding to requests from across the country. "Architects come to us with large, complex commercial plans that are very detailed and can be challenging," says Gutierrez. "We also get a good number of EagleView™, RoofScope® and Hover® documents. These are mostly for residential roofs. Each one gets individual attention and specifications."
Contractors Rely on Free Quotes
According to Francis Ruesta with DCPS out of Denver, Colo., his commercial projects support company won't consider a major roofing project without getting a snow retention quote. "Whenever we know a snow retention system is needed for a project, we always turn to Rocky Mountain Snow Guards," says Ruesta, the Estimator/Senior Project Manager in Roofing for DCPS. "A big reason is because of the liability involved in projects. It's really smart for us to use their services. Also, I use their professional quotes and layouts to help educate the client about why and where snow retention is needed."
Marco Lujan, Service Director of Revelation Roofing out of Steamboat Springs, Colo., agrees with Ruesta. "Our company uses the free quote service from Rocky Mountain Snow Guards every time for every project," says Lujan. "It brings peace of mind to us and our installers knowing that every time we install snow retention systems on our customers' roofs, we're following expert specifications from RMSG.
"We use the free snow retention plan service offered by Rocky Mountain EVERY SINGLE TIME!" says Joe Westra, Co-Owner of Summit Point Roofing Co., out of Grand Rapids, Mich. They take into account things like snow load for your region, pitch, roofing material and a variety of other factors then send you detailed quantities, installation instructions and diagrams." It gives us peace of mind knowing a professional designed the system. We've never had a failure when it comes to one of their snow retention systems." That's one of the many reasons we keep coming back to the experts at Rocky Mountain Snow Guards.
Full Team Tackles Work Load
With a two-to-three day turn around time on creation of the free layouts and quotes, our Quote Department is continually kept busy. Peak times are generally summertime and September to the end of November.
"September of last year will always stand out in our minds," says Quirk. "The previous winter had been especially snowy, so many homeowners were eager to retrofit snow guards. In that one month, we handled almost 700 quotes. It was an incredibly busy month!"
