Why choose Emergency Roofing Montreal
for snow guards
A snow guard is an essential device to prevent risks associated with snow falling from a sloped roof. It is a barrier installed on the roof to retain snow and prevent it from falling abruptly. This device can be made of metal or wood and comes in various forms. A well-installed snow guard protects passersby and prevents property damage due to snow fall.
There are several models of snow guards to suit your needs. Popular options include:
- Rail or ladder barriers: These devices are installed all around the lower part of the roof. Although not very discreet, they effectively retain snow and are particularly recommended for public buildings. Their aesthetic appearance can be improved with a coat of paint.
- Hooks and cleats: This type is more discreet, consisting of small hooks to be installed over the entire roof surface. Although their installation takes longer, these hooks retain snow without compromising the building's appearance. It is crucial to ensure there are no empty spaces to prevent snow from falling.
Installing a snow guard is essential to prevent serious accidents. Imagine a mass of snow falling on a passerby. The consequences can be dramatic, ranging from serious injuries to permanent injuries. In addition to risks to personal safety, snow falls can cause significant property damage. A snow guard therefore helps reduce these risks and ensure safety around your home.
To choose a snow guard suitable for your roof, several criteria must be considered:
- The frequency and duration of snowfall in your region
- Your roofing material
- The aesthetics and style of your building
- Your budget
It is highly recommended to consult a professional for personalized advice and to choose the model best suited to your needs.

Roof Replacement
An endless cycle of repairs often signals a deeper problem. At some point, a complete replacement costs less than a series of temporary fixes. The chosen material takes into account your building and Montreal's climate, with installation compliant with RBQ standards at every step.
Roof Repair
The freezing and thawing of the Quebec winter weaken elastomeric membranes, often without being visible at first glance. Blisters, detachments, cracks around penetrations: our roofers trace back to the real cause rather than patching the symptom. They then repair with materials chosen to last.
Roof Inspection
Identifying a fragile area before it becomes a structural problem is the benefit of an annual inspection. Our roofers examine the membrane, flashings, drains, and junctions. You then receive a detailed report to prioritize work according to your budget.
