How long have you been in the roofing industry and how did you get started?

All of my life. I grew up in a family-owned roofing business and started working on job sites at the age of 14. In other words, "I'm born-to-be-a-roofer" and I mean, "ROOFER"...not just a business owner or a sales guy.

Tell us about the geography you install roofing in and what kind of snow retention systems are needed for your customers.

We install roofs in one of the harshest environments in North America, the Colorado Rockies. In the mountains, there are heavy snow loads and various types of roofs and construction. No two roofs are the same. At Home Grown Roofing and Contracting, we are experts in ALL roofing types and prescribe all different types of snow guards as needed.

What type of roofing material do you tend to install most, and what's your favorite "go-to" snow retention product that you use repeatedly with that material?

The type of roofs that we install the most that require snow retention are standing seam metal roofs. Our "go-to" snow retention system for these standing seam metal roofs is the S-5!® ColorGard® bar with seam clamps and snow clips.

What is the most interesting roofing project you've done where a snow retention system was involved?

ColorGard with S Clamps & Dark Bronze Color Strips

Along with the Timbertrail Road project that won us the 2025 "Show Us Our Snow Guards" Contest Grand Prize, I think the Calfee Gulch Road project we completed in Conifer was our most interesting project. This is a special-order 1.5" snap lock standing seam color that we used the S-5!® ColorGard® bar system with S clamps, SnoClip™ IIs, and color-coordinating metal color strip inserts.

How often do you use the free snow retention plan services from Rocky Mountain Snow Guards when you're working on a roofing project?

We use this service almost every time for our projects. I trust Rocky Mountain Snow Guards' knowledge and experience with snow retention systems.

What keeps your company coming back to Rocky Mountain Snow Guards for your snow retention needs?

They are local and we like partnering with other local businesses. We are also big believers in using specialized experts and we're happy to have someone on our team that specializes in snow guards.
