Types of Snow Guards We Install

We install a range of snow guards to suit different roof types and materials, ensuring effective snow retention and roof protection:

Bar Snow Guards: Suitable for metal and asphalt shingle roofs, these guards create a barrier that evenly distributes snow weight, preventing sudden slides. Ideal for standing seam metal and pitched asphalt shingle roofs.
Pad Snow Guards: Compatible with cedar shingles, slate, and asphalt shingle roofs, pad guards are spaced to hold snow in place, blending with the roof without impacting appearance.
Fence Snow Guards: Often used on metal roofs, especially standing seam and corrugated types, these guards create a strong barrier to control snow descent and prevent large falls.
Pipe Snow Guards: Best for metal and steeply pitched roofs, pipe guards use horizontal pipes to hold snow, ideal for buildings needing strong snow control, like commercial facilities.

Most Common Questions About Snow Guards Installation

What are snow guards, and why are they important?

Snow guards are devices installed on roofs to prevent snow and ice from sliding off in large amounts. They help protect people, property, and landscaping below. Snow guards also help maintain the structural integrity of your roof during the winter months.

Can snow guards be installed on metal roofs?

Yes, snow guards can be installed on metal roofs. They are specifically designed to keep snow from rapidly sliding off, which is common with smooth metal surfaces. Our team specializes in installing snow guards on metal roofing for optimal safety.

How do snow guards work on roofs?

Snow guards work by holding the snow in place, allowing it to melt and fall off gradually. This reduces the risk of large, dangerous snow slides from your roof. The system helps prevent damage to both the roof and the areas below.

Do snow guards cause roof damage?

When installed correctly, snow guards do not damage the roof. They are specifically designed to work with different roofing materials without compromising their integrity. At Marks Roofing, we ensure all installations are done professionally to avoid any issues.
