@bruceha2000 the important thing to consider about those brackets on the roof..... If it holds the snow on the roof, how much weight that your roof has to carry increases by a CRAZY amount.
Not all roofs are strong enough for that.
making the roof collapse is bad.
May I offer our congratulations to You and Your DS. I take it that you are looking for a grandchild or 3 from this?

Agree. I still have my shingle roof on, too. The roofer did not want to put any of the snow breaks on my roof.
Snow breaks/diverters pretty much only work with metal roofs. The "breaks" are not used up here, even on metal, because nobody wants 18" if ice sitting on their roof. Diverters are used above stovepipes so the sliding snow won't tear the chimney down when it slides, but that's about it.
