Services
Helmet Heat Installation
Helmet Heat combines self-regulating heat cable with Gutter Helmet technology to prevent ice dams and ensure proper water flow. This energy-efficient solution reduces energy consumption by adjusting output based on temperature conditions. Installed along rooflines and gutters, it provides year-round protection while using up to 40% less cable than traditional systems.
Gutter Helmet Systems
Our patented Gutter Helmet system prevents debris buildup while allowing water to flow freely. Designed for durability under heavy snow loads, it eliminates ladder climbing for maintenance and reduces wildfire risks by blocking flammable debris accumulation in gutters.
Seamless Gutter Installation
Custom-fabricated seamless gutters use heavy-gauge aluminum and durable hangers to withstand Southwest Colorado's freeze-thaw cycles. Available in multiple colors and profiles, these systems include lifetime warranties and integrate with other water/ice mitigation solutions.
Snow Retention Systems
S-5! ColorGard snow retention systems prevent dangerous roof avalanches using aircraft-grade aluminum components. Custom-fitted to match roof colors, these systems safely hold snow in place until natural melting occurs, protecting property and people below.
Ice Dam Mitigation
Comprehensive ice dam solutions combine heat cable technology, gutter protection, and roofline engineering. Our systems address Southwest Colorado's specific freeze-thaw-refreeze cycles that cause damaging ice buildup along roof edges.
