Living in Nebraska, we know the weather can be a bit… indecisive. One day it’s sunshine and the next, a blizzard rolls in. But when it snows, it’s not just about bundling up and digging out your car. Have you thought about your roof?

A sudden pile of snow and ice tumbling off your roof can be dangerous for anyone walking below, not to mention damaging to your property and landscaping. That’s why snow guards can be your answer.

So what exactly is a snow guard?

Think of them as safety brakes for your roof. These devices are designed to prevent snow and ice from sliding off in a dangerous rush. Instead, they hold the snow in place, allowing it to melt gradually and safely.

Why are snow guards so important, especially in Nebraska?

• Protect People and Property: A sudden snow pile can cause serious injury to anyone caught underneath. Snow guards prevent this by controlling the release of snow.
• Safeguard Your Landscaping: Crushed plants and damaged flowerbeds are a common casualty of snow slides. Snow guards help protect your precious greenery.
• Preserve Your Gutters and Skylights: The weight and force of sliding snow can wreak havoc on gutters, skylights, and other roof features. Snow guards act as a barrier, minimizing damage.
• Extend the Life of Metal Roofs: Metal roofs are popular for their durability, but they can be susceptible to damage from sliding snow. Snow guards help protect the finish and longevity of your metal roof.

Don’t let Nebraska’s unpredictable weather catch you off guard. Invest in snow guards and give yourself peace of mind knowing your roof – and everything below it – is protected.
