A Roof Repair at 6,000 to 9,000+ feet is not the Same Job as a Roof Repair in Denver.
UV intensity increases 6 to 8 percent for every 1,000 meters of elevation, snow loads in these valleys run anywhere from 70 to over 300 pounds per square foot, and overnight temperature swings of 30 to 40 degrees are routine. Every one of those factors accelerates roof failure, and most of them compound each other.
Umbrella Roofing repairs leaky roofs, snow retention systems, hail and wind damage, ice dam issues, gutters, and snow load concerns for homeowners, HOAs, condo associations, property managers, and builders throughout both valleys. Whether it's an active leak, storm damage, or a repair a home inspector flagged before closing, call 970.704.9130 for an estimate.
Common Roof Repair Issues We Fix
Leak Repair (Ice Dams & Flashing)
The most common roof repair call in the Roaring Fork and Vail Valleys is a leak, and most trace back to ice dams. Meltwater refreezes at the eave, backs up behind the ice ridge, and forces its way under shingles and flashing. We repair the entry point and address the root cause, attic air sealing, insulation, ventilation, and heat cable, so the same leak doesn’t return next winter.
Snow Load & Roof Avalanche Damage
Heavy, wet mountain snow puts real structural stress on roofs, and sliding snow off metal or steep roofing is a genuine safety hazard for anyone below. We repair roofs stressed by snow load, inspect and reinforce snow retention systems, and make sure your roof is equipped to handle Colorado's mountain snow loads safely through the winter.
Freeze-Thaw Flashing & Sealant Failure
Overnight temperature swings of 30 to 40 degrees are routine here, and that constant expansion and contraction works flashing and sealant loose at chimneys, skylights, valleys, and every roof penetration. These small failures are where most hidden leaks start. We re-flash, reseal, and inspect the surrounding roof deck for moisture damage before it becomes a bigger repair.

Gutters
Mountain gutters do more work than standard gutters, handling rapid snowmelt volumes that overwhelm undersized systems, plus the weight and impact of ice and sliding snow. We repair gutters pulled loose by ice and snow load, reseal seams and joints, restore heat cable function so meltwater keeps draining instead of refreezing, and reset downspouts so runoff clears the foundation instead of pooling against it.
Hail Damage Repair
Colorado ranks among the most hail-prone states in the country, and mountain storms between April and September leave their mark on shingles, metal panels, vents, and flashing. We inspect for granule loss, dents, and cracked seals, document everything for your insurance claim, and complete repairs before UV exposure and freeze-thaw turn small hail damage into a bigger leak.
Wind Damage Repair
Chinook winds can hit 100 mph through mountain passes and ridgelines, well beyond what most roofing systems are rated for at lower elevations. Wind repair calls typically involve lifted or missing shingles, torn flashing at chimneys and valleys, and loosened metal panels. We re-secure, reseal, and replace damaged sections with materials and fastening patterns built for high-wind exposure.
Materials We Repair
We repair every roofing system common to the Aspen-to-Vail corridor: standing seam metal, DaVinci and CertainTeed synthetic and composite shingles, architectural asphalt, and tile. As a DaVinci Roofscapes National Project of the Year winner and a partner of GAF, Drexel Metals, and Berridge Manufacturing, we know how each material performs, and fails, at altitude, and we repair it to match.
