Let It Snow

Synthetic roofing systems are often slicker as snows melt, releasing snows “en mass” to avalanche off the roof. Smart roofers recommend clients in wintery climates install snow guards, bars or fences to help prevent damages to property, pets and homeowners.

With a full snow retention system from Rocky Mountain Snow Guards, this Colorado home has fewer worries from avalanching snows throughout the winter months.

For their DaVinci 2023 Masterpiece Contractor Project of the Year award-winning project, the team at Umbrella Roofing installed a combination of snow guards and a snow rail system from Rocky Mountain Snow Guards over this DaVinci Multi-Width Shake roof.

“For the Michael Stowe home we installed a Drift Solar Aluminum 4-Pipe Fence-Style Snow Guard System directly on the asphalt roof,” says Thedy Joseph, owner/operator of Excel Roofing. “We’ve been installing these products from Rocky Mountain Snow Guards for several years now. They’re designed especially for snow retention below solar panels, so they’re ideal for this home.”
