50-Year Warranty on Snow Retention Products Leads Industry

Imagine the masses of snow and ice that metal snow guards, fences and bars repeatedly hold back year after year on homes and commercial projects. Now, consider a no-callback situation and a 50-year warranty making life easier for both the property owner and roofing contractor. That's the reality of selecting snow retention systems from Rocky Mountain Snow Guards.

"Every product we sell is warranted for 50 years against defects in material and workmanship in normal winter weather conditions," says Sales and Marketing Manager, Brian Cross. "This includes rust or other degradation of the metal itself which could result in structural product failure. Both the extensiveness and time length of the warranty is uncommon in our industry."

Cross relates that, as with any product, the snow retention system items must be installed per manufacturer instructions to be protected by the warranty.

"Our mission is to provide a 'permanent solution' for snow release on roofs," says Cross. "This means we're providing a product we trust will not fail. It also mean we encourage customers to take advantage of our free snow retention layout services."

Free Plans, Instructions and Freight

The Quote Department here at Rocky Mountain Snow Guards routinely creates about 30 free project quotes a day. Architects, contractors and homeowners send in blueprints, drawings or reports from EagleView™, RoofScope® and Hover®. The customized snow retention plans, product lists and installation instructions are created for free for each project. Products are then shipped free within the 48 contiguous United States to customer requested destinations.

"When you talk to the people at Rocky Mountain Snow Guards, you realize that what they actually do is engineer a snow retention system that is specifically designed for your project," says Joe Westra, co-owner of Summit Point Roofing Company out of Grand Rapids, Michigan. "They take into account things such as the snow load for your region, pitch, roofing material and a variety of other factors when putting together an architectural plan."

"Then they send you detailed quantities, installation instructions and diagrams. Once you have all of that, installing the snow retention system is as simple as following their instructions."
