Frequently Asked Questions

Why are snow guards important?
Snow guards help prevent snow and ice from sliding off roofs in large sheets, protecting people, pets, vehicles, landscaping, and property below. They reduce the risk of dangerous roof avalanches in snowy climates.

Do I need snow guards?
It depends on your location, roof pitch, roofing material, and local building codes. If you live in an area with moderate to heavy snowfall, snow guards are a smart investment to protect your home and surroundings.

How do snow guards work?
Snow guards create friction and small barriers that hold accumulated snow and ice in place. This allows snow to melt gradually and drain safely, rather than sliding off all at once.

What types of roofs can snow guards be installed on?
Snow guards can be installed on almost any roof type, including:
✔ Metal
✔ Asphalt shingles
✔ Slate
✔ Tile
✔ Synthetic roofing
✔ Composite or wood shingles

How are snow guards installed?
Most installations begin with a professional assessment of your roof’s slope, snow load, and structural design. Using a proven calculation method, we determine the ideal placement and spacing to maximize effectiveness and safety.

Can I install snow guards myself?
While DIY installation is possible, we strongly recommend using a professional. Proper placement, adhesive use, and rooftop safety protocols are essential for long-term performance and personal safety.
