thats a non penetrating roof mount.
They arent that heavy, but they require cinder blocks to keep it from moving when the wind is strong. After the blocks are put in it, it is probably at least that heavy.
Ive been an installer and owned mmy own company as a Directv subcontractor at one point and employed 17 installers under me and one thing for sure is there is almost ALWAYS a way to get it done.
Local offices usually have a lot of rookie installers working for them and they might not have the knowledge required to get it done sometimes....retailers usually employ more experienced installers and have a lot more riding on getting the install done, so they will usually get it done if the local big office cant.
