Unreliable schedules on the critical path. 

A roofer who reschedules dry-in without warning doesn’t just delay one trade. It pushes every trade behind us and puts your completion date at risk. 

Labor instability. 

Short crews, high turnover, or a sub who quietly hands your job to a sub-of-a-sub without telling you. You find out when the workmanship doesn’t match what you bid.

Corners cut that don’t show up until year three. 

Underlayment, flashing, ventilation, and fastener patterns that pass a quick look but fail as a leak or an ice dam two winters later, on a house with your name on the permit. 

Weak documentation and compliance. 

Missing OSHA fall protection, incomplete lien waivers, or an insurance certificate that’s thin on coverage. All of it becomes your exposure, not just ours. 

Communication gaps and surprise change orders. 

No proactive update when something changes, then a change order that reads like a negotiation instead of a heads-up.

Warranty risk. 

Vague terms and a roofer who’s hard to get back on-site for a punch list once the job is sold and the check has cleared.

Reliability you can put on a schedule 

We plan around real mountain weather windows, not hope. If we commit to a dry-in date, we hold it, and if weather forces a change, you hear about it before it becomes your problem to explain to your client or your lender. 

A crew that shows up, every time 

Our crews are local and year-round, not a sub-of-a-sub arrangement that changes depending on who’s available. Our project managers and estimators stay involved throughout the project and visit jobsites. Our roofing crews perform the roofing installation.

Documentation built for your file, not just ours 

Insurance certificates, workers’ compensation coverage, and lien waivers are ready before you ask for them, not scrambled together after a request from your lender or your attorney.

Built for altitude, not retrofitted for it 

*Snow load calculations are included in the bid from the start. Ice dam prevention is also included. Wildfire code compliance is included too. They are not added later as a change order after an inspector flags an issue. *Snow load calculations and roof geometry are determined by the architect and structural engineer. Umbrella installs the roofing system according to the project plans, engineering, manufacturer specifications, and applicable building codes.

A warranty that means something 

Clear terms, in writing, and a crew that comes back for the punch list without a fight, because a callback we handle well is the reason you call us for the next project. 

New Construction Roofing 

We work directly off your framing schedule and coordinate dry-in timing with the trades ahead of and behind us, whether the project is in Vail, Beaver Creek, Aspen, Snowmass, or one of the surrounding Roaring Fork and Vail Valley communities. Our crews are already local. We’re not driving in from the Front Range to hit your date.

Custom and Spec Home Roofing 

High-end custom and spec builds in this market come with complex rooflines: multiple pitches, dormers, valleys, and chimney clusters that punish a roofer who isn’t precise with flashing and waterproofing. We work directly with architects during design on standing seam metal, copper accents, and roof geometry that holds up to both the mountain climate and the aesthetic standard your buyer is paying for.

Snow Retention and Ice Dam Design-Build 

A snow retention system bolted on after a homeowner complaint is a repair. A snow retention system is designed for your roof shape and local snow load before installation. It is a smart choice. It helps protect you from liability after people move in. We install snow retention systems according to the approved plans, engineering, manufacturer specifications, and applicable building codes. We can certainly make recommendations, but we do not engineer the roof design.

Wildfire-Hardened Roofing, WUI Compliance 

Colorado’s Wildfire Resiliency Code triggers full compliance requirements on any project where 25 percent or more of a roof is replaced, and it applies to new construction in yellow and orange zones across Eagle and Pitkin County. We build to Class A materials, ember-resistant vents, and non-combustible gutter requirements from the start, so your project doesn’t fail inspection or complicate your buyer’s insurance later.

Flat and Low-Slope Roofing for Mixed-Use and Multi-Family Builds 

Flat and low-slope roofs on clubhouses, condo buildings, and mixed-use projects carry the full snow load. They do not shed snow like pitched roofs. Architects and engineers size drainage, membrane systems, and heat cable integration for real mountain snowmelt. They do not rely on sea-level assumptions. Umbrella installs according to the approved plans and specifications.

Custom Sheet Metal Fabrication 

Flashing, gutters, and snow bars fabricated to match your specific roofline and panel profile, not a generic stock piece that leaves a visible seam on a project your buyer is paying premium money for. Learn more about our custom sheet metal fabrication.
