Why Talking to a Person Gets You a Better Quote

  • Someone who knows roofs, not a chatbot. You talk to a fall protection specialist who knows Kee Guard inside and out, not an AI tool guessing from a few form fields.
  • They catch what a form misses. Hatches, skylights, ladder openings and rooftop equipment change what you need. A specialist asks the questions that keep you from ordering the wrong system.
  • Straight answers on compliance. OSHA, IBC, NYC and California requirements explained for your building, so you can be confident the system meets code.
  • The right base for your roof. Counterbalance, Post Weight or standing seam clamps. Your specialist matches the base to your membrane, metal or ballasted roof.

What Our Customers Have to Say

Can I install Kee Guard on a sloped roof?

What bases are available for the Kee Guard system?

Will Kee Guard penetrate my roof surface?
No. Kee Guard is held in place by counterbalance weights made from rubber and recycled PVC, so it will not puncture your roof. The dimpled bases let water flow underneath, so it does not pool.

How much does a Kee Guard system cost?
Every system is different. Your roof type, the length of open edge, the number of access points and any obstacles all affect the price. The fastest way to a number is to call us for a free quote. You can also send the quote form and we will get pricing back within 2 hours.
