Built for Colorado
Why Denver Homeowners Choose Metal Roofing
At 5,280 feet, altitude sun degrades asphalt shingles fast, and Colorado's place in Hail Alley means a typical asphalt roof can face a damaging storm every few years. A properly installed metal roof lasts 40 to 70 years, two to three times longer than asphalt, and for many Front Range homes it is the lower lifetime cost, not the higher one.
Class 4 hail resistance
Most metal panels carry a Class 4 impact rating, the highest grade in the UL 2218 standard. Hail that knocks the granules off an asphalt roof and fractures the mat underneath leaves a metal roof watertight and working.
40 to 70 year lifespan
Galvalume steel substrates resist corrosion and Kynar and PVDF finishes hold their color for decades. In the time one metal roof serves, you would install two to three asphalt roofs.
Sheds mountain snow cleanly
Metal panels shed snow instead of letting it build into ice dams, a real advantage at elevation and on steeper Front Range roofs, from Evergreen to Boulder.
Cuts summer cooling loads
Reflective coatings bounce solar heat away from the deck instead of absorbing it, easing the load on your air conditioning through Denver's hot, high-sun summers.
Sustainable and solar-ready
Panels are made largely from recycled content and are fully recyclable, unlike landfill-bound asphalt. Metal also pairs cleanly with solar using non-penetrating clamp systems that never compromise the roof surface.
Top-tier certified installation
We hold both Owens Corning Platinum Preferred and GAF Master Elite certifications, the top installer tiers each manufacturer offers, and back every install with a 5-year workmanship warranty.
What It Costs
How Much Does a Metal Roof Cost in Colorado?
Metal costs more upfront than asphalt, but over a 40-to-70-year service life it is often the lower lifetime cost. Every roof prices differently, so we quote from your actual roof, not a chart.
Panel gauge, finish grade, roof pitch, the number of valleys and penetrations that need custom flashing, seam type, tear-off, and decking repairs all move the final number. Steeper, cut-up roofs cost more per square foot than simple gable roofs. For the full breakdown of what drives pricing across every material, see our Denver roof replacement cost guide.
Our Process
Our Metal Roof Installation Process
Metal is unforgiving work. Panels must run square, clips must be spaced to the manufacturer's engineering, and trim must be hand-bent to fit. Our process is built to get every one of those details right.
Free Inspection and Consultation
We measure your roof, assess deck condition and ventilation, confirm the pitch is a fit for the system you want, and identify any prep work before we quote.
System, Metal, and Color Selection
We bring samples in natural light, walk through seam profiles, gauges, finishes, and warranty differences, and help you match the roof to your home and budget.
Tear-Off and Deck Preparation
We remove the old roof down to the deck, repair any structural damage, and install a high-temperature, self-adhering underlayment rated for metal applications.
Fabrication and Installation
Panels are cut and formed to spec, then secured with concealed clips or fasteners per the system engineering, with custom-bent trim at every transition.
Final Walk and Warranty
Our foreman checks every seam, fastener, and flashing detail, then reviews the finished roof with you. Every install carries our 5-year workmanship warranty plus the manufacturer's material coverage.
