BACKGROUND  -  For over 33 years, Gough & Bros. has worked with building owners & architects solving upper elevation problems to assure the greatest longevity.  We use traditional materials, which have withstood the test-of-time, and provide Old World Craftsmanship for roofing, flashing and gutter systems. 

 

1. TRADITIONAL ROOF REPAIRS  -  To view work we do, click on "Job Site Photos" to the left.  Then select from the menu of photographs.

 

2. SNOW RETENTION  -  Having installed snow guards for 33 years, we purchased Frank Cody's Snow Guard shop, continue making his original snow guards (stock & custom) as the Gough SnoGuardTM and offer a one-stop-shop for snow retention.  (For Life Safety and Preventative Maintenance)  This is the original snow guard in the country made of sheet metal going back to 1930.  (We also distribute the S-5! ColorGard snow rail system for standing seam metal roofs.  Snow guards, snow fences & snow rails help keep snow from avalanching from roofs, therefore protecting people and things below.)  Click on "Snow Retention" to the left.
