You can find the highest-quality systems right here with us. We have been manufacturing and distributing premium snow retention solutions across the country since 1924. Our products are engineered to withstand the harshest winter weather, providing reliable protection against dangerous sliding ice and snow. We offer an extensive inventory, including heavy-duty sheet metal guards, snow rails, and snow fences. Our expert team is always available to help you select the ideal system for your specific roofing material, ensuring a secure fit and long-term durability. We proudly serve homeowners, businesses, and historical properties nationwide to keep everyone safe.

Snow retention systems are designed to hold accumulated snow and ice on your roof, allowing it to melt safely and gradually rather than sliding off in a dangerous avalanche. When temperatures fluctuate, a sudden release of heavy snow can damage gutters, landscaping, and lower roofs, while posing a major safety hazard to anyone walking below. Our systems distribute the weight of the snow load evenly across the roof structure. We design our guards to grip the snow, preventing dramatic slides while maintaining your property's structural integrity and keeping your family, guests, and passersby safe throughout the winter.

Yes, they can. We specialize in providing custom-fit retention solutions for delicate and premium roofing materials, including slate, Ludowici tile, asphalt shingles, wood shakes, and copper. Installing guards on these materials requires a careful approach to avoid damage, which is why our products are designed for both new construction and easy retrofitting on existing roofs. Our time-tested designs ensure a secure fit without compromising the watertight integrity of your beautiful roof. We offer specialized options tailored to the unique profiles of tile and slate, ensuring your home remains protected while preserving its classic architectural appeal.

Absolutely. We provide high-performance retention systems designed specifically for standing seam and painted metal roofs. Metal roofs are notoriously slick, making them highly susceptible to sudden and dangerous snow slides. To combat this, we offer heavy-duty metal roof guards, including S-5! clamp-on systems that attach securely to standing seams without penetrating the metal panels. This preserves your roof’s warranty and prevents any potential leaks. Our durable copper and painted metal options blend seamlessly with your roofline, offering exceptional strength and sleek aesthetics while protecting your gutters, pathways, and landscaping from falling sheets of packed ice.

We are proud to be one of the country's first and oldest snow guard manufacturers, providing trusted safety solutions since 1924. Originally founded by F.C. Cody, our business has maintained its commitment to craftsmanship and quality for a century. Today, we still operate from the exact same shop, producing original sheet metal designs that have stood the test of time. Over the decades, our products have been installed on countless historical churches, schools, libraries, and fine residences nationwide. When you choose us, you are choosing a century of proven craftsmanship, unmatched industry experience, and reliable protection.
