Roof Replacement, Repair & Snow Protection
Umbrella Roofing protects homes, HOAs, and commercial properties across Aspen and Snowmass Village from 7,908 to 8,209 feet, built for the highest UV and altitude exposure in our service area, and snow that has to be held on the roof, not released onto a village street below.

Why Aspen & Snowmass Village Roofs Are Different
Aspen and Snowmass Village sit between 7,908 and 8,209 feet in Pitkin County, high enough that UV intensity runs an estimated 15 to 20 percent above sea level, exposure that can cut a standard asphalt shingle’s working lifespan well below its manufacturer rating.
Add to this:
Umbrella factors in altitude-adjusted UV exposure, Pitkin County’s snow-load threshold, and Aspen’s Historic Preservation Commission (if applicable) review process on every quote we write for this market, and every snow guard system we install is sized to the specific pitch, panel, and ground snow load of the property it’s protecting, not a standard estimate.

Roofing Built for the Mountains
From the Historic Preservation Commission review process downtown to the ski-in/ski-out density of Snowmass Base Village, Aspen and Snowmass Village put a different kind of pressure on a roof than the rest of our service area. Here’s how we handle the four issues we see most.
Roof Replacement
Umbrella has replaced roofs on HOA-scale projects at the base of Aspen Highlands, including a two-year, eight-building re-roof for the Maroon Neighborhood Townhouse Association that swapped aging cedar shakes for DaVinci synthetic shakes, a project nominated for DaVinci’s National Project of the Year. That’s the level of coordination a full replacement takes here: matching material, HOA sign-off, and a phased schedule across shared rooflines.
Roof Repair
Homes and townhomes along the Rio Grande Trail corridor take a different kind of wear than a downtown property, more direct sun exposure, more valleys and transitions on custom rooflines, and flashing details that have to hold up to freeze-thaw cycling every shoulder season. We diagnose the cause before we patch the symptom.
Snow Retention
Snowmass Base Village routes skiers and pedestrians directly beneath private rooflines every day of the season, past lift access points like the Village Express Lift and Elk Camp Gondola. An uncontrolled snow slide off a smooth metal roof here isn’t a maintenance footnote, it’s a liability. We install engineered specified snow retention systems to the roof’s specific pitch, panel type, and local ground snow load.
Ice Dam Prevention
The Brush Creek Road corridor into Snowmass Village and the condos ringing Town Park see some of the heaviest repeat ice dam calls in this market, driven by attic heat loss meeting rapid freeze-thaw swings. We start with attic air sealing and insulation, not just heat cable, because heat cable alone treats the symptom.
SPECIALISTS IN MODERN ROOFING
Who We Serve
Whether you own the property, manage it, or built it, Aspen and Snowmass Colorado trust us to understand exactly what your roof needs to do.
Residential Builders & Developers
Custom and spec builds in Aspen and Snowmass Village come with complex rooflines and, inside Aspen’s historic districts, a Historic Preservation Commission review process that has to clear before a project is bid, not after. We coordinate directly with your framing schedule and your architect on material and geometry, so a design-review delay doesn’t become your problem to explain to a buyer.
Commercial Builders & Developers
Hotel, lodge, and mixed-use work in and around Snowmass Base Village means low-slope membrane systems engineered for real accumulation and repeated freeze-thaw, not code minimums. We handle the technical specification and the sequencing against a larger trade schedule.
Partner with us on your next commercial project.
HOA & Condo Associations
We’ve coordinated shared-roofline, multi-building work in this exact market before: an eight-building re-roof for the Maroon Neighborhood Townhouse Association at the base of Aspen Highlands, nominated for DaVinci’s national Project of the Year. Board-ready bids, documented inspections, and one point of contact so your board isn’t fielding forty resident calls about a project nobody can explain.

Architects and Designers
Aspen’s Historic Preservation Commission reviews material and profile choices before a project is ever bid inside the city’s historic districts. We’d rather review roof geometry and material options with you at the design stage than raise a constructability or compliance issue after the drawings are locked.

FAQs About Your Roof in Aspen or Snowmass Village
Q: My neighbor’s metal roof dumped snow onto the sidewalk. Could that happen on mine?
A: It can, if a smooth metal roof doesn’t have an engineered snow retention system. This is especially relevant in Snowmass Base Village, where lift access and pedestrian paths run directly beneath private rooflines all season. Properly installed snow guards, sized to the roof’s pitch, panel type, and local ground snow load, hold snow in place and let it release gradually instead of all at once.
Q: Why do ice dams keep coming back on my roof every winter?
A: Ice dams form when heat escaping into the attic melts snow on the upper roof, and that meltwater refreezes into a ridge of ice at the colder eave. Chipping the ice off treats the symptom. The real fix, in order, is attic air sealing, adequate insulation, proper ventilation, ice-and-water shield underlayment at eaves and valleys, and heat cable as the last line of defense. Umbrella addresses all five, not just the heat cable.
Q: Will Aspen’s Historic Preservation Commission approve the roofing material I want?
A: Aspen’s historic districts fall under review by the city’s Historic Preservation Commission, and material and profile choices inside those boundaries have to clear that review before a project is bid, not after. Umbrella has worked through this process and can propose options that are both compliant and built for the elevation, rather than picking a material first and fighting the board about it later.
