Tell us about the geography you install roofing in and what kind of snow retention systems are needed for your customers.
We're based in Littleton, Colorado. Our teams work extensively in our state, but also travel throughout Wyoming, Montana, New Mexico, South Dakota and North Dakota. These are all areas with significant snowfall, so we are continuously including snow retention plans in our customer proposals.
What type of roofing material do you tend to install most, and what's your favorite "go to" snow retention products used with that material?
Throughout the mountain regions we're mostly installing DaVinci Roofscapes composite slate and shake tiles plus asphalt shingles, natural slate, clay and concrete tile, standing seam metal, EPDM and TPO. Each requires a different snow retention system and each project requires a different snow retention plan. For the past 15 to 20 years we've relied on the Rocky Mountain Snow Guards team to provide the plans and quality products we need to make each project a success.
What's the most challenging/interesting roofing project you've ever done where a snow retention system was involved?
The Horizon Pass Lodge we reroofed back in 2022 with DaVinci Multi-Width Shake was definitely memorable. This included 30 condo units under one roof with challenging roof pitches and limited access. To finish off the project we used more than 10,000 metal RG16 snow guards in a dark bronze color in a soldier row pattern. Plus, we installed 1,700 linear feet of NoFlash III - 3-pipe aluminum snow fence systems, also powder coated dark bronze. This gorgeous project in Bachelor Gulch, Colorado was awarded the DaVinci Masterpiece Contractor 2022 Project of the Year Award.
