Free snow retention quote service benefits roofing contractors, architects and property owners

Contractors rely on free quotes. These professional quotes and layouts help educate customers on why and where snow retention systems are needed.

No doubt about it. Free is good. And the free snow retention layout services offered by Rocky Mountain Snow Guards is a very good benefit for roofing contractors, architects and property owners nationwide.

“We can take an architect’s blueprints, an aerial takeoff or even a hand sketched drawing and create a professional design for snow retention on a structure,” says Dylan Quirk, lead design and quote specialist at Rocky Mountain Snow Guards, Inc. “We specialize in fine-tuning a plan until all the parties are happy.

“Sometimes this means going through several versions because people may wish to see different types of products on a roof, like snow fences versus snow guards. Or people may want to look at whole home protection versus select location protection. We provide guidance, education and information.”

Contractors rely on free quotes

The Quote Department at Rocky Mountain Snow Guards routinely creates about 30 project quotes a day. Design and Quote Specialist Andy Gutierrez works with Quirk, responding to requests from across the country. “Architects come to us with large, complex commercial plans that are very detailed and challenging,” says Gutierrez. “Then we get a good number of EagleView™, RoofScope®, and Hover® documents. These are mostly for residential roofs. Each one gets individual attention and specifications.”

According to Francis Ruesta with DCPS out of Denver, his commercial projects support company won’t consider a major roofing project without getting a snow retention quote.

“Whenever we know a snow retention system is needed for a project, we always turn to Rocky Mountain Snow Guards,” says Ruesta, the estimator/senior project manager in roofing for DCPS. “A big reason is because of the liability involved in projects. It’s really smart for us to use their services. Also, I use their professional quotes and layouts to help educate the client about why and where snow retention systems are needed.”

Marco Lujan, service director of Revelation Roofing out of Steamboat Springs, Colorado, agrees with Ruesta. “Our company uses the free quote service from Rocky Mountain Snow Guards every time, for every project,” says Lujan. “It brings peace of mind to us and our installers knowing that every time we install snow retention systems on our customers' roofs, we're following expert specifications from Rocky Mountain Snow Guards.”

Full team tackles work load

With a two-to-three day turn around time on creation of the free layouts, the Quote Department at Rocky Mountain Snow Guards is continually kept busy. Peak times are generally summertime and September to the end of November.

“August of last year will always stand out in our minds,” says Quirk. “The previous winter had been especially snowy, so many homeowners were eager to retrofit snow guard systems. In that one month we handled almost 700 quotes. That was an incredibly busy month!”

Supporting the work done by Gutierrez and Quirk is Daniel Gutierrez, inside sales, who handles quote requests from Spanish-speaking customers. Ariel Preuitt, customer experience manager, LeeAnn Parliman, administrative assistant, and Toni Koons, digital properties specialist, round out the team with their front line support.
