Greg Rogers
Thirty years ago, Greg Rogers was making $6.95 an hour as a lift operator at Vail Resorts. That's when a friend asked him if he wanted to make some "real money". The rest, as they say, is history. Greg joined up with Vail Valley Gutter in 1997 and is now the company's lead estimator and crew manager.
Located in Edwards, Colorado, the company supplies quality gutters and downspouts to the surrounding communities. They also get involved in snow retention installations for projects in high mountain communities, relying on products from Rocky Mountain Snow Guards to fulfill their customers' needs.
What is the customer base for Vail Valley Gutter?
While we work in the Vail Valley and its surrounding areas like Crested Butte and Aspen, we've gone as far as Wyoming to install customer copper gutters.
What type of products do you mostly install ... and what companies do you partner with?
Because of our geography, we install custom gutter systems with heat tape and snow fences. When we need snow retention, I like to offer all the products from Rocky Mountain Snow Guards to my customers, especially the Blizzard II and snow fence products. I prefer their products for the powder coating and product strength. Another product line I sell a good deal of is the ColorGard bar from S-5!®.
How often do you use the free layout and quote service from Rocky Mountain Snow Guards?
I use this service when needed; however, I always overbuild my systems to achieve the highest possible success and customer satisfaction.
What keeps you coming back to Rocky Mountain Snow Guards and using our products for your snow retention needs?
Three things keep me coming back to Rocky Mountain Snow Guards. The quality of their products. The fair and reasonable pricing. And, the strong customer service we get from Ariel.
What is the most challenging roofing project you've done where a snow retention system was involved?
I would have to say the Comcast building in Avon, Colorado. This structure has the longest run of fence material we have ever installed and also has the most rows. We used the new ColorGard® 2.0 system on the standing seam metal roof and it turned out great.
