Taylor Simpson

I've been in the roofing industry and at White Castle Roofing for 12 years. My first role was taking photos with a large digital camera for our quality control inspections after each completed roof. That's before there was an app for that! I moved to residential sales after a large hailstorm in my area and became obsessed with learning about the insurance claim process, exterior materials and providing my customers with the utmost service and expertise.

My role has evolved into commercial roofing sales where I've been able to expand my knowledge of roofing systems and assemblies. I love the company and people I work for and am grateful to have made this my career.

We work primarily in Nebraska, Colorado, and Iowa. As anyone from the Midwest knows, winters can bring significant snow loads and high winds. Whenever we install a composite shingle or metal panels, we go with the suggested Rocky Mountain Snow Guards product and layout. Lots of customers are not aware they need snow retention until a snowslide wrecks their gutters or worse.

In residential work, we install lots of asphalt and composite roofing. We get calls from newly installed composite shingle or metal roof owners after large snow events that caused damage due to not having snow retention. Most of our projects involve retrofitting snow retention products on existing roof systems.

One of our most rewarding recent projects was the Hansen residence, which won us a Runner Up prize in the 2025 "Show Us Our Snow Guards" Contest. The challenge was balancing aesthetics with function. We had to make sure the snow retention on both the composite slate and standing seam metal materials complemented each other visually, while still providing the right protection for each surface.

We use the free plan service whenever we're working on a project that requires snow retention. It's a valuable resource because it ensures product placement and quantity are optimized for the roof's pitch, layout, and climate conditions. The design layouts that Rocky Mountain Snow Guards provides allow us to show the customer where and why the snow guards will be installed.

The expertise of the employees and their willingness to help in any way are what keep us coming back to Rocky Mountain Snow Guards.  We know their products will perform season after season and will keep our customers safe and satisfied.
