Durango Roofing & Roof Replacement
Roofing systems built for Durango and Four Corners conditions. Compare standing seam metal, asphalt shingles, synthetic shake and low-slope roofing options based on your home, roof design and long-term plans.
Choosing the Right Roofing System for Durango
There is no single roofing system that is right for every home.
Roof pitch, snow movement, wildfire exposure, architecture, maintenance and budget can all influence the right choice. Axtell Mtn Construction installs multiple roofing systems so Durango homeowners can compare options based on the property first, then the material.

Axtell is a great team of people. They are currently completing a metal flashing installation project and lower window upgrade on our townhome complex in Mt Crested Butte. Having observed their great detail, workmanship, and great work ethic I am very impressed with owner Jim and his folks.

I am so happy Axtell Mtn Construction managed and completed my very complex project. It had a lot of moving parts, extended timeline, various sites, contractors and third parties. The project was managed beyond my expectations and I would definitely use Axtell Mtn Construction, again.

Axtell Mtn Construction has just completed a third project on our home! So far we have hired him to clear our roof of snow and ice, repair ceiling drywall, and install new metal roofing. Jim’s integrity is evident in all he does. Not only is he a skilled craftsman, but he has a great work ethic, is an excellent communicator, and he takes pride in his work - finishing jobs on time and leaving the job site clean. We have recommended Axtell Mtn Construction to friends, and wouldn’t hesitate to hire them again.

Jim wastes no time on the job. He is organized, and thoughtful in his approach. Our project was design/build and Axtell Mtn Construction came up with numerous time/money saving suggestions. He partners with competent professionals to get the job done. I would recommend AMC without hesitation. One of the most professional contractors in the valley.

I highly recommend Axtell Mtn Construction based on my experience with them across multiple projects. From a large redwood deck to a new metal roof on our home, Jim and his team have proven a trustworthy resource for our construction needs. Fair pricing, prompt response times, and a well-run job-site are the norm with Axtell Mtn. In addition, the attention to detail and pride of workmanship in each project is why they are my first and only call when I have a new requirement.

FAQ
Expert answers about mountain siding solutions for Colorado homes
How does metal roofing perform in Durango wildfire areas?
Metal roofing can be part of a Class A fire-rated roof assembly when installed with the appropriate components. Because metal is noncombustible, it can be an important consideration for homeowners reviewing roofing materials in wildfire-prone areas.
Is metal roofing a good option for Durango snow?
Standing seam metal roofing works well for many Colorado mountain homes, but snow movement needs to be planned for. Snow retention can be added in areas where uncontrolled snow shedding could affect entries, walkways, decks or driveways.
What roofing materials does Axtell install in Durango?
Axtell installs standing seam metal, asphalt shingles, synthetic shake, EPDM and TPO roofing systems. The right option depends on the roof design, budget, property conditions and long-term plans.
Is a standing seam metal roof safe for heavy snow in Durango?
How quickly can a Durango roof project be completed?
Should I repair or replace my roof?
That depends on the age of the roof, extent of damage, recurring problem areas and overall condition. If you are unsure, start with a roof inspection before deciding on a full replacement.
Can you work with HOA or architectural requirements?
Yes. Axtell can work with homeowners to review roofing colors, finishes and material options that need to align with HOA or architectural guidelines.
