    Roofers investing in satellite aerial reports get more than just precise roof measurements for their projects. They also have a tool that can quickly result in a free snow retention plan for that same roofing project when sharing the report with Rocky Mountain Snow Guards. 

    It’s not essential to have a satellite report to gain a snow retention plan from Rocky Mountain Snow Guards; however, it makes it easier on everyone involved to have one and provides individual intricacies of the roof.

    For example. A roofer wants snow retention above an entry door. Without roof drawings, we would quote snow retention for just that eave. But, when looking at a plan, Rocky Mountain Snow Guard’s team can see that there is a dormer there that sheds its snow onto that slope. Now that it has specific information, we will adjust the snow retention plan to ensure that the system will work as intended. The aerial report gives much more information. 

    Known for speed and accuracy, Rocky Mountain Snow Guards typically creates about 30 full snow retention system designs and layouts each day for residential and commercial projects. This includes takeoff lists, plans and installation instructions. Per year, the company averages about 7,800 quotes.

    Many factors go into determining the type of snow retention system that will best suit each individual roof. One of the biggest determining factors is the roof type. For example, a standing-seam roof will almost always be assigned a snow fence to avoid penetrations. After that, the roof’s friction coefficient is the next piece of information that gets explored.

    Working with the satellite reports in hand, the Rocky Mountain Snow Guards team strives to create aesthetically pleasing snow retention systems that are cost effective.

    Efficiency is the primary goal for snow retention roof systems. However, if a customer has a specific look or snow guard they want, Rocky Mountain Snow Guards can make that happen. And, of course the company offers appealing options of copper, powder-coated steel and aluminum, mill-finish aluminum, plus raw- and zinc-coated steel, all designed to enhance the appeal of the snow retention system.

    From start to finish, Rocky Mountain Snow Guards calculates and offers a design on the drawing of the roof to show where the most effective snow retention system is needed. The company includes the layout for installation along with any pertinent details about the product. Then the installation instructions are included, a list of the products required to get the job done, plus an estimate. It’s a one-stop process that roofers can depend on for reliable, cost effective and safe snow retention systems for their roofing projects.

    Rocky Mountain Snow Guards has offered free architectural snow retention plans, layout and quote services since the company began in 2010. The company manufactures its wide variety of snow guards, snow fences and snow retention systems designed to protect people and property in the United States. Rocky Mountain Snow Guards provides free shipping of products to the 48 contiguous United States and offers free layouts and quotes for product placement.
