How roofers and the design community thrive with Rocky Mountain Snow Guards’ free layout and quote service

By Rocky Mountain Snow Guards.

Building success, one roof at a time.

When it comes to specifying and placing snow retention systems, precision and expertise are non-negotiable — especially in climates where snow is a persistent threat. Architects and designers, just like roofing contractors, can streamline their workflow and maximize project safety by tapping into the free layout and quote services from Rocky Mountain Snow Guards. But what does this look like in practice? On Point Contracting’s experience offers a compelling case study.

Partnership in practice: The On Point Contracting story

Since 2021, On Point Contracting, based in Littleton, Colorado, has taken advantage of Rocky Mountain Snow Guards’ complimentary design services more than 200 times — using them once or twice a week on average. Every time, they receive a free customized snow retention plan, a detailed product list and installation instructions tailored to the specifics of each project. This seamless collaboration ensures that snow guards, fences and bars are not only properly specified, but also optimally positioned according to precise snow loads and unique roof layout calculations.

Nick Piontek, founder and CEO of On Point Contracting, sums it up, sharing, “The sheer volume of times we use this quote service speaks to how integral their support is to our business success. We rely on Rocky Mountain Snow Guards to ensure we know exactly how many snow guards, bars and fences to use and the precise installation pattern needed. This is all based on the specific snow loads for each address, and the service is crucial to us securing clients. With their expertise, we stay on the fast track to accuracy and efficiency every time.”

The scale of support

The Rocky Mountain Snow Guards quote department isn’t just for contractors — it serves architects, designers and even homeowners, too. Each day, their team produces about 30 free project quotes. Whether you send in blueprints, EagleView™, RoofScope® or Hover® reports, you’ll receive a complimentary package that includes a product list, a detailed diagram showing exactly where to place each snow retention product and clear installation instructions.

Best of all, they consider every critical detail: Regional snow loads, roof pitch, roofing material and more. Once your plan is finalized, products are shipped anywhere in the 48 contiguous United States.

Tackling challenges — Including solar

Not every roof is straightforward. Among the 200+ snow retention installations On Point Contracting has completed, one of the most complex involved reconfiguring 11 solar panels from portrait to landscape orientation and adding Drift Solar Snow Fences. The challenge? Modifying the racking system and ensuring melting snow would be safely managed by the newly-installed 12” tall, 4-pipe aluminum Drift Solar system — A “catch basin” designed specifically for snow retention under solar arrays on shingle roofs.

For every unique scenario, On Point trusted the Rocky Mountain Snow Guards design and quote team. Their guidance on placement turned daunting challenges into smooth installations.

“As with every snow retention project we do, we relied on the design and quote services team at Rocky Mountain Snow Guards to tell us where to place the snow retention products,” said Nick. “Their gameplans always lead us in the right direction. This is a partnership that’s been snowballing for years in the best possible way!”
