FAQ
Common concerns about gutters and snow retention for mountain properties
Why seamless gutters?
Seamless gutters eliminate joints where leaks start, handle heavy mountain runoff without sagging, and blend cleanly with your roofline. They're custom-fitted to your home and built from heavy-gauge steel for decades of reliable performance.
Do snow retention systems work?
Yes. S-5!® and ColorGard® systems control snow shedding, prevent dangerous slides, and protect landscaping and structures below. They're engineered specifically for Colorado's snow loads and freeze-thaw cycles.
Do gutters really work in heavy snow areas?
Yes. With the right design, slope calculation, and material, steel gutters perform exceptionally well in mountain climates.
What is a snow retention system?
It controls how snow and melt release from your roof, preventing dangerous roof avalanches and ice buildup.
Can heat trace cables be added later?
Yes, we can retrofit existing systems to integrate self-regulating heat cables.

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.
