Roofing for Mountain Homes in Grand County

Roofs That Earn Their Keep

Snow sits on a Grand County roof for five months at a time — compacting, melting from below, refreezing at the eaves. A roof that survives that isn't just shingles: it's the framing beneath, the underlayment, the ice barrier, the flashing, and the ventilation, all working together.

We build the whole system. Because we also frame and side our projects, our roofs tie into the structure correctly instead of being one sub's guess stacked on another's.

What We Install

We match the roof to the house and the site: architectural asphalt shingle for classic mountain looks, standing-seam metal where snow needs to shed fast, and hybrid designs — metal over porches and entries, shingle on the main field — like you see on many of our builds.

• Architectural asphalt shingle roofs
• Standing-seam metal roofing and porch roofs
• Ice and water shield at eaves, valleys, and penetrations
• Ridge and soffit ventilation to fight ice dams
• Snow retention where shedding would be a hazard
• Roof replacement and storm repair

Ice Dams Are a Design Problem

Most ice-dam damage traces back to bad ventilation and skipped ice barrier — not bad luck. Heat leaks into the attic, melts the underside of the snowpack, and the water refreezes at the cold eave and backs up under the shingles. We design the insulation, ventilation, and membrane as one system so the roof stays cold and the water stays out.

Frequently Asked Questions

Metal or shingle — which is better up here?

Both work when built right. Standing-seam metal sheds snow fast and lasts decades, but shed zones need planning. Architectural shingle handles our conditions well at lower cost. Many of our homes combine the two — metal over entries and porches, shingle on the main roof.

Do you handle roof replacement on homes you didn't build?

Yes. We replace and repair roofs throughout Grand County, and because we're a full general contractor we can also fix the framing, ventilation, or ice-dam issues underneath instead of just covering them up.

What causes ice dams and can you prevent them?

Ice dams form when attic heat melts snow that refreezes at the cold eaves. Prevention is insulation, air sealing, ventilation, and ice-and-water membrane working together — we address all four rather than selling you heat cable and hoping.
