METAL
ROOFING
DENVER & SUMMIT

Standing seam metal roofs built to outlast everything Colorado throws at them. Premium materials, expert installation, 40–70 year lifespan — ideal for mountain homes and modern Front Range builds.

Why Metal?

THE LAST ROOF
YOU'LL EVER INSTALL

Metal roofing is the gold standard for Colorado — engineered to handle heavy snow loads, intense UV, and Class 4 hail. Whether it's a mountain cabin in Breckenridge or a modern home in Highlands Ranch, metal delivers performance asphalt simply can't match.

  • 40–70 year lifespan vs 15–25 for asphalt
  • Class 4 impact-rated — best hail resistance
  • Sheds snow naturally — critical for mountain homes
  • Energy-efficient — reflects solar heat in summer
  • Non-combustible — wildfire resistance
  • May qualify for homeowner insurance discounts

Mountain & Front Range

BUILT FOR
EVERY ELEVATION

In Summit County, metal isn't a luxury — it's the practical answer to 300+ inches of annual snowfall, high UV exposure, and the freeze-thaw cycles that destroy lesser materials. We specify mountain-grade metal systems with snow retention designed for your specific slope, exposure, and snow load.

  • Heavy-gauge mountain-grade steel & aluminum
  • Engineered snow retention systems
  • Proper ice & water shield underlayment
  • Cold-climate fastening techniques
  • Coordinated with snow guards & heat cable installations

FAQ

METAL ROOFING FAQ

How much does a metal roof cost in Colorado?+

Metal roofing typically runs $12–$25 per sq ft installed, versus $4–$8 for asphalt. The upfront cost is higher, but with a 50+ year lifespan vs 15–25 years for asphalt, metal often costs less over the life of the home — and may qualify for insurance discounts.

Are metal roofs noisy in rain or hail?+

No. Modern metal roofs installed over solid decking with proper underlayment are no louder than asphalt. The "tin roof in the rain" sound only applies to bare metal over open framing.

Is metal a good choice for Summit County?+

Metal is arguably the best choice for mountain Colorado. It sheds snow, resists ice damming, handles UV exposure, and lasts decades. We install metal extensively in Breckenridge, Frisco, Dillon, and Silverthorne.

Will hail damage a metal roof?+

Quality metal roofs are Class 4 impact-rated — the highest hail resistance available. Severe hail may cause cosmetic denting on softer metals, but functional damage is rare. Stone-coated and heavier-gauge panels resist denting entirely.
