Flagstaff’s heavy mountain snowfall looks beautiful on a metal roof, right up until it lets go all at once. A sudden roof avalanche can tear off gutters, crush landscaping, damage vehicles, and put anyone standing below at risk. Willbuilt Seamless Gutters installs snow guards and snow fence that hold snow in place so it melts and sheds safely. Family-owned since 1997, we know what Northern Arizona winters do to a roofline.

Metal roofs shed snow fast, and at Flagstaff’s elevation that snow can come down in one heavy slide. Snow guards and snow fence break up that movement so snow releases gradually instead of all at once. Willbuilt installs snow retention systems on homes and commercial buildings across the Flagstaff area, sized and placed for your roof pitch, panel type, and the loads our winters bring.
A full sheet of snow sliding off a metal roof can weigh hundreds of pounds. Snow guards hold that snow on the roof so it melts and drains in a controlled way. That protects walkways, entries, decks, and anyone who happens to be below when the sun comes out.
Sliding snow and ice are hard on gutters. The weight can bend, pull, or rip a gutter right off the fascia. By keeping snow from avalanching, snow retention helps your seamless gutters and fascia survive the freeze-thaw swings that come with a Flagstaff winter.
Snow that lets go all at once can crush shrubs, damage vehicles parked below, and bury a doorway in seconds. Snow guards keep the load where it belongs until it melts, which makes the area around your home safer through the coldest months.
Flagstaff sits at roughly 7,000 feet and sees some of the heaviest snowfall in Arizona. A snow retention system that works here has to account for real snow loads, roof pitch, and the freeze-thaw cycles that repeat all winter. Willbuilt designs each layout around your specific roof instead of using a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether you own a home near NAU, a cabin-style property in Kachina Village, or a commercial building along Route 66, we match the system to your roofline and the snow it carries.
Every installation follows the same careful process so nothing gets missed.
We look at your roof pitch, panel type, and the areas you most need to protect, like entries, walkways, and gutter runs. Then you get a clear, honest estimate with no pressure.
We plan the right style and spacing of snow guards or snow fence for your roof and your snow load. Placement matters as much as the hardware, so we lay it out to hold snow where it needs to stay.
Our crew installs the system so it fits the roof properly and does not compromise the panels or finish. We work clean and treat your home like our own.
While we are up there, we check your gutters, fascia, and roofline for the wear that Flagstaff winters cause. If we spot loose hangers, sagging sections, or fascia damage, we let you know.

If your metal roof sheds snow over a walkway, entry, driveway, gutter, or landscaping, snow guards are worth it. At Flagstaff’s elevation, a single slide can do real damage, and snow retention keeps that snow on the roof until it melts safely.
Yes. A big part of why homeowners add snow retention is to keep sliding snow and ice from bending or tearing gutters off the fascia. Holding the snow in place takes a lot of stress off your gutter system.
In most cases, yes. We assess your panel type and roof pitch on-site and design a system that fits the roof you already have. We install snow retention; we do not replace the roof itself.
