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

We cover pretty much the whole state of Colorado including the mountains. This means we need to have all options on the table for snow retention on every roof type and at all elevations. Aesthetics, as well as functionality, play a major concern on most of our projects.

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

Slate and concrete tile are probably our most-installed systems. We use a lot of RMSG products for these roofs. Snow guards and No-Flash snow fences, and our teams also install quite a bit of the S-5!® ColorGard Bar-Style snow retention system on our metal roofing systems.

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

There's this one job in Aspen with a very custom install with clay roof tiles. There are different designed tiles put on in a pattern to give the roof a very unique look. The solar mounts had to be designed to hit the coursing of tile perfectly ahead of any installation, which kept things interesting. We used the No-Flash II 2-pipe fence-style system from Rocky Mountain Snow Guards to be able to tie-in to the clay roof system. We're really proud of how that project ended up coming together.

How often do you use the free layout and quote snow retention service from Rocky Mountain Snow Guards when you're working on a roofing project?

Some of our roof plans are very technical and steep. We use RMSG's free design service quite a bit because we prefer to leave it to the pros to design the best system to present to our customers. This way, we all have the peace of mind of knowing that it's going to function as needed.
