Residential:
  • Clients who anticipate having their roofs/chimneys/solar panels/dormers/siding serviced.  These have generally fallen into two categories.  Category one includes those who care greatly for the safety of the professionals who service their roof and never want an injury/fatality at their home.  Category two includes those who do not want temporary anchors or penetrations in their roof during each service job.  They understand that the up front costs are higher but that strategic permanent anchors are a much better long-term solution.
  • Clients who want fall protection for spouses/family who decide to work on their own roofs.  Often they have husbands, fathers, granddads, significant others who insist on, and enjoy cleaning their own gutters, installing their own Christmas lights, inspecting their own chimneys and generally take pride in doing all their own home maintenance.  Oddly, many of these DIY'ers wear fall protection in their tree stands while hunting, but not while working high around the house.  These clients usually wish the high/dangerous work would be hired out, but know that their significant others will always insist on doing it themselves.  They also tend to be the most grateful for having the anchors installed.
Commercial Clients:
The commercial clients we service are generally intelligent, careful, and forward thinking.  They understand that employee safety is a top priority and require OSHA compliant fall protection 100% of the time while their roofs are being serviced.  They also understand that the law requires every employee who is exposed to a potential fall of 6' or greater be protected with a fall protection system.  They agree that the long-term benefits of permanent fall protection anchors greatly offset the initial up front expense.  They are long-term thinkers and understand the following facts:
  • All roofs and buildings need periodic maintenance.
  • All workers at height (regardless of their specific trade) need to be protected from potential falls.
  • Any contractor without a regularly implemented OSHA compliant fall protection plan is a liability and not qualified to work on their premises.
  • Any injury on their premises has an associated expense, and it is usually large.
  • Temporary anchors often create penetrations or damage roofs.
  • Strategic placement of permanent anchors is the best solution for long-term planning.
  • Permanent anchors reduce future maintenance expenses.

Picture
Our customized patent-pending V-5 permanent roof anchor is a massive 3/8" - 1/2" thick stainless steel plate. With no moving parts or welds to fail, the V-5 is easily fully inspectable from the safety of the attic and is a preferred anchor system by architects and property owners. Similar to an iceberg, the huge bulk is beneath the surface. It wraps completely around the roof rafter and comes in sizes to fit 2x6 to 2x12 rafters or customized to be compatible with other roof systems. Outfitted with the discreet cast bronze and copper flashing kit shown above, it's designed to be practically unnoticeable and service workers for the life of the building.
