About Us

The Authority in Rooftop Snow Management

Engineered Reliability Since 1993

Established in Morrisville, Vermont, Alpine SnowGuards is a leader in the design, engineering, and manufacturing of snow and solar snow management systems. We provide high-performance solutions for every roof type—from historic natural slate to modern membrane and high-end synthetic restorations.

As a pioneer in the industry, Alpine has developed numerous patented products, including the market’s first and only dedicated solar snow management system. Our mission is to protect the architectural integrity of buildings and the safety of the people around them through technical precision and proven performance.

100% Employee-Owned: Accountability in Every Detail

Alpine SnowGuards is a 100% Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) company. For our clients, this means that every person handling your project—from the lead engineer to the production specialist—is a company owner with a personal stake in your success.

"The move to an ESOP model allows for sustained innovation and ensures that our deep bench of technical knowledge stays right here in Vermont," says Founder Brian Stearns. "Our customers work with owners who are dedicated to long-term reliability and protecting the reputations of the architects and contractors who specify our products."

Our Commitment to Sustainability

We believe in protecting more than just roofs. By utilizing recycled materials and sustainable engineering practices, Alpine SnowGuards helps projects qualify for green building credits while delivering a system engineered to last the entire lifespan of the roof.
