Residential Roofing
High-performance roofing systems crafted for Colorado’s mountain homes.

Choosing the right roofing system is especially important in Colorado's mountain climate. Heavy snow, hail, intense UV exposure, temperature swings, and wildfire considerations all play a role in determining which material is right for your home. From architectural asphalt shingles to premium composite shake and slate, each roofing system offers its own combination of appearance, durability, performance, and longevity.
Rocky Valley Contractors installs a range of residential roofing systems, including GAF and Owens Corning architectural and impact-resistant shingles, DaVinci composite shake and slate, and Brava composite cedar shake. Whether you're looking for a dependable asphalt roof or a premium composite roofing system for a custom mountain home, we focus on proper waterproofing, flashing, ventilation, and installation details designed for the demanding conditions of Colorado's mountain environment.

Standing seam metal roofing is an excellent choice for the Vail Valley, offering the durability and longevity needed for heavy snow, intense sun, and changing mountain conditions. Its concealed-fastener design also provides superior weather protection and a clean, high-end architectural appearance.
At Rocky Valley Contractors, we custom fabricate our metal roofing panels, flashings, and details in our own shop for each project. This gives us greater control over fit, quality, and finishing details while allowing each roofing system to be tailored specifically to the home.”
Why Metal Makes Sense in Eagle County
- Sheds snow naturally — reduces structural load and ice dam formation
- Class A fire rating — required in Colorado WUI zones (Vail, Avon, Edwards, Cordillera)
- 50–70 year lifespan — outlasts 2–3 asphalt shingle replacements over the same period
- Minimal maintenance — no cracked or lifted shingles to inspect annually
- Insurance premium reductions available with many Colorado carriers
- Strong resale value — viewed as a premium upgrade by Eagle County buyers
Metal vs. asphalt over time: Think beyond the initial cost. Standing seam metal roofing generally costs more upfront than asphalt shingles, but its exceptional longevity, low maintenance requirements, and durability make it a compelling long-term investment for Colorado mountain homes.

Colorado’s heavy snow, freezing temperatures, and repeated freeze-thaw cycles can create challenging drainage conditions for mountain homes. When snowmelt reaches colder roof edges, gutters, and downspouts, it can refreeze and contribute to ice buildup, drainage problems, and potential water intrusion. A properly designed gutter and heat tape system can help manage water and snowmelt throughout the winter.
At Rocky Valley Contractors, we custom fabricate our gutters and downspouts in-house for each project, allowing us to tailor the system to the home’s roofline, drainage needs, and architectural style. We offer a variety of gutter options, including custom copper half-round gutters and round downspouts, along with self-regulating heat tape systems designed to help manage ice buildup and keep critical drainage areas functioning during Colorado winters.
Signs You May Need Heat Tape
- Water staining on interior ceilings after heavy snowfall
- Large icicles forming at eaves or from gutters each winter
- North-facing roof sections or areas with heavy tree shading
- Homes at higher Cordillera or hillside elevations with significant snow accumulation
- Gutters that fill with ice and pull away from the fascia

Inspections & Repairs
Professional roof inspections, detailed reporting, and dependable repairs for Vail Valley homes.
05
Whether you're purchasing a home, planning for future roof work, or concerned about a leak or damaged area, a professional roof inspection can help you understand the condition of your roofing system. Rocky Valley Contractors provides thorough roof inspections with photos and clear recommendations based on what we find.
Our team evaluates the condition of the roofing material, flashings, penetrations, valleys, gutters, and other critical areas for visible signs of wear, damage, or potential water intrusion. When repairs are appropriate, we'll explain the recommended work. When a roof is approaching the end of its useful life, we'll provide an honest assessment so you can plan accordingly.
Roof Repairs & Leak Investigation
From active leaks and storm damage to damaged roofing, flashing issues, and other problem areas, our team provides targeted repairs for the roofing systems we service. We focus on identifying the source of the problem and recommending an appropriate solution rather than simply treating the visible symptoms.
Repair & Inspection Services
- Pre-purchase inspection — written report with photos, condition assessment, remaining lifespan estimate, repair vs. replace recommendation
- Emergency storm response — wind damage, hail damage, fallen debris, active leaks; 24–48 hour response across Eagle County
- Flashing repair — chimney, skylight, dormer, and wall flashing failures are a leading cause of leaks in mountain homes
- Ridge cap & shingle repair — targeted replacement of lifted, cracked, or missing shingles
- Ice dam damage repair — interior water damage assessment, deck repair, and underlayment replacement
- Insurance claim documentation — we photograph, document, and submit damage reports to your adjuster at no charge
- Skylight re-sealing — skylights are a common leak point in aging mountain homes; we inspect and re-seal or replace flashing
Insurance documentation assistance: Dealing with roof damage can be stressful. We can provide photos, document visible conditions, and prepare a detailed estimate for the roofing work. We can also provide relevant project information requested during the insurance process, while coverage and claim decisions remain between you and your insurance carrier.

ROOFING + EXTERIOR
Coordinated roofing, stucco & exterior finish work
Rocky Valley Contractors provides stucco and plaster installation, repairs, patching, and refinishing for new and existing homes throughout the Vail Valley. From repairing damaged exterior stucco to restoring interior plaster finishes, our team focuses on proper preparation, texture, color, and clean finishing details.
Our experience in both roofing and exterior finishes is especially valuable where stucco meets rooflines, walls, flashings, windows, and other critical transitions. When a project involves both roofing and stucco work, our team can coordinate the work together for a more efficient process and a consistent finished result.
Colorado's mountain climate can also be demanding on exterior finishes. Snow, moisture, temperature changes, and repeated freeze-thaw cycles can contribute to cracking and deterioration over time. Addressing damaged stucco and vulnerable transition areas early can help reduce moisture intrusion and prevent more extensive repairs in the future.
Stucco Services We Provide
- Crack repair & patching — hairline cracks, settlement cracks, impact damage. Color-matched to existing finish where possible.
- Full section replacement — areas with significant moisture intrusion, delamination, or failed substrate
- Re-coat & refinish — full exterior re-coat for homes where the finish coat has weathered, faded, or is no longer watertight
- Roofline integration — stucco at fascia, soffits, and where exterior walls meet rooflines — these transitions are especially vulnerable and require careful detailing
- Window & door surrounds — resealing and patching around openings where stucco meets frames

Venetian Plaster
A timeless finish for distinctive interiors. Venetian plaster is a hand-applied decorative finish known for its depth, movement, and smooth, stone-like appearance. Each application is individually crafted, creating subtle variations that make the finished surface unique. From statement walls and fireplaces to larger interior spaces, our Venetian plaster work brings texture, character, and refined craftsmanship to custom mountain homes.
Bundle and save: When stucco and roofing work are part of the same project, our team can coordinate both scopes for a more efficient process and consistent finished result.
Roofing + Stucco in One Project? From rooflines and flashing to stucco repairs and exterior finishes, our team can coordinate both scopes for a seamless, well-finished result.
