Cooper Construction’s Mountain Division handles residential and commercial roofing across Eagle, Garfield, and Summit counties, from cabins and mountain homes to lodges and low-slope commercial buildings. We build for what the high country does to a roof: deep snow load, ice dams, freeze-thaw, and hard UV at altitude. Talk to our mountain crews about protecting your property.
Specialized High-Altitude Materials
Mountain roofs take conditions most roofs never see. We install systems built for it, standing-seam metal, synthetic slate, and high-grade architectural asphalt, chosen to carry heavy snow loads, resist ice dams, and hold up to intense UV at altitude, season after season.
Craftsmanship for Complex Rooflines
Our experienced crews install to spec on the complex rooflines mountain homes are full of, from underlayment to ridge, so the details hold up over long winters. Request a consultation with our team today.
Working in the High Country
We know the logistics of building at altitude, the access, the short season, the weather windows, and we plan around them. That is why homeowners, builders, and architects across Eagle County bring us onto projects, from single homes to multi-building work.
Commercial and Low-Slope Roofing
Mountain commercial buildings, lodges, and condo associations need roofing that performs and paperwork that satisfies a reserve study. We install and maintain low-slope membrane and metal systems for flat and shallow-pitch commercial roofs, and we coordinate phased work on occupied multi-family and HOA properties. Ask us about your commercial or multi-building project.
Adherence to County Codes
High-country building codes are strict and they change from town to town. We work to the specific snow-load, ventilation, and fire requirements across Eagle County and its towns, plus Garfield and Summit counties, so every roof passes inspection. Schedule your project with confidence.
Project Management That Keeps You Posted
We keep the site clean and safe, hold to the schedule, and keep you posted from start to finish. We manage the details so the process stays straightforward, even on a remote mountain site.
Protecting Your Mountain Investment
In the high country the roof is the part of the building working hardest. Sound materials and a careful install are what keep snow, ice, and water out year after year, and what protect the value of a mountain property. Cooper Construction builds roofs to last at altitude.

Mountain Roofing Questions, Answered
At altitude the main threats are snow load, ice dams, freeze-thaw cycling, and intense UV exposure – a different mix than the hail that drives Front Range damage. Materials and details that serve a Denver roof fine can age quickly above 8,000 feet.
An ice dam forms when attic heat melts roof snow that refreezes at the cold eaves, ponding water under the shingles. Prevention starts with insulation and ventilation, plus ice-and-water membrane at the eaves; heat cable helps on stubborn spots. We diagnose the cause rather than just treating the icicles.
Both work in Eagle and Summit counties. Standing-seam metal sheds snow and commonly outlasts asphalt, which matters on heavy-snow roofs; architectural shingles cost less up front and are easier to repair. Roof pitch, exposure, and HOA rules usually decide it. We install both and will lay out the trade-offs for your roof.
Codes in Eagle and Summit counties require roofs designed for heavy ground-snow loads that vary by elevation – far beyond Front Range requirements. If you notice new drywall cracks, sticking doors, or visible sagging after big storms, have the roof looked at. Wet spring snow is far heavier than winter powder.
Yes. UV is significantly stronger at 8,000 to 10,000 feet than on the plains, and south-facing slopes take the worst of it. UV dries out asphalt binders, so shingles crack and shed granules sooner. It is one reason mountain roofs age on a different clock and why material choice matters more up here.
Sometimes, but the window is narrow. Asphalt shingles need warmth to seal properly, and snow on the deck stops work; standing-seam metal tolerates cold better. For most Eagle and Summit county roofs we plan replacements for late spring through fall and handle urgent repairs year-round.
