Homeowners, here is the real question.
Why choose metal for your roof?
Metal roofs last decades longer than most traditional systems, including asphalt. That means fewer replacements, less maintenance, and more confidence when the next storm rolls through.
At Axtell Mtn Construction, we install engineered standing seam systems backed by locally manufactured panels from our sister company, Gunnison Sheet Metal. Tighter timelines. Consistent quality. Built on the Western Slope for real mountain conditions.
If you are building, replacing, or re evaluating your current roof, now is the time to explore metal.
Schedule a roof assessment and see what a true mountain ready system can do for your property.

Every Roof, A Custom Take Sheet
On paper, Wildhorse had three original home models. In reality, 25 years of additions and modifications turned that into six distinct styles.
For our take-off team, that meant:
Custom take sheets for each home
Adjustments for small but critical differences in framing
Precise measurements where neighboring houses varied by only a few inches
This level of detail is what turns a neighborhood project into a true transformation, not just a simple re-roof. And makes us really glad we paid attention in math class!
Settling into Durango and already feeling at home.
Beyond bringing Axtell’s mountain roofing expertise to the area, it has been rewarding to discover the heart of this town, good food, good people, and a strong sense of community that makes Western Colorado special.
We are proud to serve Durango not just as contractors, but as neighbors invested in the place we live and work.
If you are planning a build, managing properties, or wondering where your roof stands, let’s connect. Reach out and schedule a conversation with our Durango team.
Flashback to last summer and one of those roofs that needed more than just new panels.
Complete tearoff & roof deck rebuild. Saturated foam board removed. Rotten SIP panel sections rebuilt the right way.
Once the deck was restored & reframed, we sealed it tight with @roofinginsight Mercy underlayment for a clean, dry foundation before the final system went on.
Sometimes you don’t know what is hiding underneath until it is fully exposed. When we find issues, we fix them, not cover them — and we do our best to identify them upon initial inspection.
Strong deck. Proper ventilation. Standing seam metal.
Built to last starts from the bottom up.

These are the details most homeowners never see… until they matter.
Precision bends. Clean transitions. Proper flashing. Tight seams. This is the level of metal craftsmanship that separates a true mountain roof from the lowest bid.
We always recommend getting three estimates. Ask questions. Compare scope. Look closely at the details. The time you invest up front will protect your home for decades.
Or… start with Axtell Mtn Construction and see the difference for yourself.

Did you know shingles are still a great option? Here’s why.
Shingles were our roots, and they are still a smart choice for many Colorado homeowners.
They offer a classic, versatile look that adds texture and curb appeal without overcomplicating your roof system. From traditional asphalt shingles to premium synthetic options like BRAVA shakes, today’s products deliver strong performance and updated style.
When installed with the right underlayment and full roof assembly, shingle systems can also achieve a Class A fire rating.
Cost effective. Reliable. Timeless.
If you are deciding between shingles and metal, give us a call and we will walk you through the pros and cons for your home. 970 615 0050
Year two at Wildhorse is almost here.
In 2025, we completed 13 full reroofs in the Wildhorse at Prospect neighborhood, replacing aging cedar shake systems with fire resilient metal assemblies built for mountain conditions.
The goal was simple, reduce wildfire risk, strengthen long term performance, and give homeowners and insurance providers real confidence in the roof over their heads.
Now we are gearing up to continue the transformation.
If you want to understand what prompted the neighborhood wide reroof plan and how the system was designed, head to our website and read the full 2025 project breakdown.
Fire resilience is not a trend. It is a responsibility.

Durango, we are here to build more than roofs. We are here to build relationships.
From whether it’s your 100 year old home, a new custom home or your managed properties, we are excited to connect with local builders, property managers, realtors, and fellow business owners who care about quality and long term performance.
If you were in the room, great to meet you. If not, looking forward to changing that!
Durango, let’s partner up.

Powderview was the debut. We have not looked back since.
That project introduced our CMG Ultra Low Gloss color line in ULG Burnished Slate, 24 gauge, and it quickly became the standard. Today, most roofs installed by AMC and approved by local HOAs feature CMG’s Low Gloss matte finish.
Why matte?
Modern architecture is leaning toward refined, understated finishes that reduce glare and complement natural mountain surroundings. Ultra Low Gloss delivers that clean aesthetic without sacrificing performance.
Behind the look is serious coating technology. CMG’s Ultra Low Gloss line is strengthened by Dura Coat’s Durapon 70™ PVDF paint system, offering exceptional resistance to UV exposure, weathering, and environmental pollutants. The combination of PVDF resins and ultra durable acrylic coatings helps maintain long term color stability and surface integrity in high elevation climates.
Sleek. HOA friendly. Mountain durable.
When design and performance align, that is when a roof becomes more than protection, it
Alaska trip recap… and yes, Tori was still looking at roofs.
It was not just ice, skiing, and moose. It was a passive study in what happens when mountain roofs meet serious moisture and extreme freeze thaw cycles.
Snow is one thing. Ice is another. And spring is actually the best time to get ahead of it. Act now - don’t worry later.
Ice dams are brutal on roofs and gutters, whether you are in Alaska or Colorado. When melt water backs up and refreezes, it pushes under panels, into soffits, and can lead to rot and mold before you even realize there is a problem.
The good news? Ice dams can be mitigated.
Thoughtfully designed heat systems in valleys and along eaves help control melt, protect your gutters, and keep water moving the right direction. And if ice dams are already forming, Axtell can help safely remove them before they cause more damage.
Spring might feel early to talk about winter problems, but planning now prevents expensive repairs later.
Let’s get your heat tape system dialed in and practice a little roof responsibility.

Olympic Ski Mountaineering Trail Day with Tori and Jim.
When you build in the mountains, you take care of the mountains. Between roofing projects and shop runs, these two traded metal panels for trail tools and spent the day clearing and maintaining the paths we all love to use.
A little extra motivation knowing these trails help shape athletes like Crested Butte’s own Olympian Cam Smith @camfromcb Pretty cool to play even a small part in keeping the training grounds dialed.
Same mindset, different job site. Show up, do it right, leave it better than you found it.
Proud to live here. Proud to work here. @camsmith the trails at mill creek are ready for you!

Chimney rot does not start at the brick. It starts behind it.
Most leaks around chimneys are not caused by bad masonry. They start with precipitation trap points behind the chimney. If it is not properly overframed and flashed, it creates a trap zone where snow and ice collect. In mountain climates, that buildup turns into standing water during freeze thaw cycles.
Water sits. Wood softens. Fasteners loosen. Flashing fails.
By the time stains show up inside, the structural damage is often already underway.
At Axtell Mtn Construction, we treat chimney crickets as part of the roof system, not an afterthought. We overframe behind the chimney to divert water from backing up- rebuild the slope to shed water properly, and integrate flashing into a watertight assembly designed for heavy snow load and real mountain weather.
If you have a chimney on the uphill side of your roof and have never had the cricket evaluated, it may be worth a closer look. Reach out to schedule a roof assessment and let us help you prevent small details from becoming major repairs.

Happy Birthday to our rockstar Office Manager, Alex 🎉
Since 2021, Alex has been the steady hand behind Axtell’s rapid growth. When Jim realized the company needed serious backup, she stepped in and never looked back. Organization, foresight, tenacity, she brought it all and helped build the foundation that keeps this operation moving.
From early mornings to after hours problem solving, Alex has always gone above and beyond what the job description says. Axtell would not be what it is today without that extra effort in the early years.
We are proud to call you our teammate, our logistics queen, a dedicated toddler mom, loyal wife, true friend, and weekend warrior.
Happy Birthday, Al. We appreciate you more than you know.
This latest metal siding project is coming together. CMG Chestnut WoodGrain in 12 inch horizontal Flush Wall Mount brings that modern mountain look while delivering Class A fire rated performance built to last.
The homeowner layered profiles to create depth and dimension. Vertical Flush Wall Mount in CMG Low Gloss Carbon highlights the height of the home, while select accents in our CMG Western Rust 7/8th Corrugated add texture and warmth.
Multiple profiles. Earth tone palette. Fire ready exterior.
This is what smart mountain siding looks like.
And yes, the real site supervisors stopped by for a quick check in, tails wagging, approval granted 🐾

It started small, really small. Axtell Mtn Construction began as a tight crew, a couple of trucks and a whole lot of hustle. Since then Jim has grown that few man crew into a multi city roofing operation, and teammates like Evan are a big part of how we keep the quality high while we grow.
Evan is one of the guys who makes sure the work actually happens the way it is drawn up. From piles of bids to checking details on site on-time, he is in the mix making sure jobs are taken care of & everyone is in the loop.
On projects in Gunnison, Crested Butte and now Durango, you will find Evan jumping in wherever the day needs him, from staging materials to clean up, always keeping pace with the mountain weather.
We are grateful to have him on the Axtell and Gunnison Sheet Metal team.
If you are planning a project in 2026 and want a crew that cares about the details as much as you do, reach out and talk with our team.

Tear off day at the Averill household.
Two layers deep. Corrugated metal with loose fasteners on top, worn out shingles underneath, and let’s just say… the local bird population had claimed squatters rights under the ridge cap.
You never really know what is hiding under an aging roof until it comes off. Rot, loose fasteners, trapped moisture, unwanted tenants.
If your roof has been layered over or is past its prime, it might be time for a real evaluation. Schedule a roof assessment with our team and find out what is actually going on up there before it turns into a bigger problem.

This is what a year of mountain roofing looks like.
From custom mountain retreats in Crested Butte to large condo complexes in Gunnison and now expanding into Durango, this montage shows what happens when roofing is engineered, not guessed at.
Second homes. Full time residences. HOA managed communities. Multi building condo projects.
Standing seam systems built for real snow load.
Class A fire rated metal exteriors ready for wildfire exposure.
Snow retention and heat cable dialed in.
Custom metal rolled local for tighter timelines.
We love where we live and it shows in how we work. Clear scopes. Organized crews. Real scheduling. Communication that keeps homeowners and property managers in the loop.
Whether it is one roof or an entire neighborhood rollout, our process stays the same. Plan it right. Build it tight. Deliver it clean.
Crested Butte. Gunnison. Durango.
Mountain homes deserve mountain systems.
If your home, condo association, or managed property is planning for 2026, now is the time to get on the radar.

This is who…
Move in day in Durango. Among the boxes and personal stuff, Brandon is making room for one very important roommate, his trusty hand brake.
This old reliable, fully manual metal brake lets him bend flashing on the fly when a job needs a quick detail or tweak. No waiting on long third party lead times.
Between Gunnison Sheet Metal in Gunnison and Brandon’s backup tools on site in Durango, Axtell Mtn Construction has your project covered from panel to trim.
If you are intrested in a roof or gutter upgrade around Durango and want a team that can problem solve right on site, reach out and let us know what you are working on.
Almont home upgrade, complete.
This mountain home in Almont home went from a tired old metal roof to a new standing seam system built for the long haul. During tear off, we also uncovered early signs of chimney rot, a common issue when water and snow collect behind an underframed cricket. That detail matters, and we rebuilt it the right way as part of the new roof system.
The new standing seam panels are engineered to manage heavy snow load, shed water cleanly, and stand up to Colorado sun, wind, and freeze thaw cycles, all while giving the home a sharper, more modern profile.
For second homeowners and full time locals, that means fewer worries about leaks, loose fasteners, or hidden damage around penetrations and chimneys, and more confidence when the next storm rolls in.
If your older metal roof is starting to show its age, or you suspect issues around your chimney, now is the time to get it checked. Call Axtell Mtn Construction to schedule a roof assessment.
#AxtellMtnConstruction #AlmontColorado #StandingSeam #ChimneyCricket #MetalRoofUpgrade
Everything in your home starts with your roof.
It is your first line of defense against snow, rain, wind, and wildfire exposure. When a roof fails, water damage does not stay small for long. What begins as a minor leak can turn into major structural damage in as little as 24 to 72 hours.
We have seen it firsthand. Buckets in living rooms. Personal belongings ruined. That feeling of not being safe in your own home. A failing roof is more than an inconvenience, it is stress, disruption, and risk.
A properly engineered mountain roof changes that. It protects your structure, your investment, and your peace of mind.
If you are planning a new build or thinking about replacing an aging roof, now is the time to get ahead of the problem. Schedule a roof assessment and see what a true mountain ready roof can do for your property.
📍 Skyland, Crested Butte
Skyland is one of those neighborhoods where every home compliments the color & shape of the landscape. For this Skyland home, Axtell Mtn Construction replaced an aging roof with a standing seam metal system built for long term performance in a true four season climate.
This new roof is engineered to:
• Improve fire resilience compared to older shake or composite roofs
• Support snow retention and heat cable where needed to protect walkways and driveways
• Preserve property value for a home that sees both family time and second home use
If you own in Skyland and your roof is showing its age, now is the time to plan a system that looks clean from the fairway and performs when winter settles in.

From risk to resilience.
Cedar shake means higher fire risk, faster weathering and more headaches with snow and ice. Swapping to standing seam metal gives you Class A fire protection, strength under heavy snow load, and a roof that can easily pair with snow retention and heat cable.
Trade worrying about every storm for a system built to handle it.
Call Axtell Mtn Construction to talk through your upgrade options.

Brandon is our point person for Durango and the surrounding areas, bringing Axtell Mtn Construction’s mountain roofing standards to a new region. He works directly with homeowners, builders, and property managers to assess roofs, talk through options, and guide projects from first call to final walkthrough. If you reach out from Durango for a roof assessment, Brandon is the one who will meet you on site.
📍 Meridian Lake, Mount Crested Butte
There is something special about giving a mountain home a true second life. This Meridian Lake second home traded in its tired roof for a standing seam metal system designed to add decades of protection, performance and peace of mind.
With this upgrade, the homeowners now have a roof that is built to:
• Handle heavy snow load and freeze thaw cycles without constant patch work
• Reduce wildfire vulnerability compared to old cedar and aging composite systems
• Support snow retention and heat cable where it matters most
• Protect long term property value for a home that may stay in the family for generations

Meet the Team Behind Axtell Mtn
Construction - Jim
At Axtell Mtn Construction, you are not just hiring a roofing company, you are partnering with a crew that lives and works in the same mountains your homes stand in. Our team brings years of hands on experience in metal roofing, snow load design, and exterior systems, along with a shared commitment to doing the job correct the first time. From the shop in Gunnison to job sites in Crested Butte and Durango, these are the people who keep projects on schedule and roofs ready for real weather.
Jim started Axtell Mtn Construction with a simple goal, build roof systems that actually match Colorado mountain weather. He spends his days walking job sites, talking with homeowners, and working with builders to design roofs that handle snow load, ice, wind, and fire risk for the long term. When you see a standing seam roof tied cleanly into valleys and snow retention, you are seeing Jim’s standards in action.

Cedar shake to standing seam. Same beautiful mountain home, completely different level of protection.
Cedar shake looks classic, but in our high elevation climate it brings real risk. Wood roofs here face intense UV, fast weathering and a higher chance of ember ignition during fire season. Without constant maintenance, lifespan drops fast, and insurance carriers are paying closer attention to what is on your roof.
This home traded its weathered cedar shake roof for a standing seam metal system that is Class A fire rated, built for freeze thaw cycles and heavy snow, and compatible with snow retention and heat cable. From the street you see a clean, modern profile. Underneath, you get a roof designed to protect the structure, the family inside and the long term value of the home.
If your mountain home is still under cedar shake or an aging composite roof, now is the time to look at a fire ready, winter ready metal system. Contact Axtell Mtn Construction to schedule a roof assessment and talk through what an upgrade would look like for your property.

📍 Mountain Edge Condos, Mount Crested Butte
Nothing like starting the year roof-worry free with a clean, upgraded roofline over one of Crested Butte’s most recognizable condo buildings. At Mountain Edge, we removed an aging roof system and replaced it with a standing seam metal assembly built for real snow load, ice and wind in the high country.
This new roof is designed to:
• Handle heavy winter storms without constant repair
• Reduce risk of leaks at skylight penetrations, valleys and transitions
• Improve long term fire resilience and insurance conversations
• Protect rental income and property value for years to come
If you manage a condo building or multi unit property in Mount Crested Butte or Gunnison and your roof is showing its age, now is the time to talk.

This one will always stand out for our crew.
This was our first opportunity to re roof multiple homes across the same neighborhood, turning a whole street of aging roofs into a row of standing seam systems built for real mountain weather. House by house, panel by panel, we watched the transformation take shape, and seeing our work side by side was one of the most fulfilling parts of 2025.
For us at Axtell Mtn Construction, this project was a milestone. In just under a decade, we have grown from a small local operation into a trusted metal roofing team for the Gunnison Valley and now down in Durango. This neighborhood re roof proved what our systems can do at scale, efficient timelines, clean installs, and mountain ready roofs that will serve families for decades.
Most important, the homeowners can now rest assured under Class A fire rated, snow load ready standing seam roofs designed for Colorado conditions, not just curb appeal.
If your neighborhood is facing aging cedar shake or tired shingles, we would be happy to talk about a phased re roof plan that protects property values and keeps homes safe long term. Contact our team to start the conversation.

Hey Durango, quick roof reality check.
Up here, a roof is more than shingles. It is safety, comfort and long term value. A few fast facts for our new neighbors:
Metal roofs help reduce ice dams, slides and mid winter emergency calls
Fire resistant assemblies can support insurability in high risk zones
Snow rails, gutters and heat cable protect walkways, decks and driveways
A newer metal roof is a selling point for buyers and property managers
Axtell Mtn Construction is now serving Durango with mountain tested systems from our work in Crested Butte and Gunnison.
Curious what an upgraded roof could do for your home or portfolio. Reach out to our team and let us walk your roof with you.
What’s going on under your shingles!! These old cedar shakes were not only a fire hazard, but also allowing water infiltration beneath them - leading to roof rot & home degradation. We happily removed the cedar shakes & replaced them with a lifetime roof investment: Mechanical Lock Standing Seam -

Days like this remind us why we care so much about doing the job right, strong metal roof systems, proper snow retention, safe homes for mountain living.
If your roof or gutters are not quite ready for the rest of winter, now is the time to get on the schedule. Call our team and we will make sure your home is as mountain ready as these trails to our boots.

All that snow does not have to come down in one avalanche. See how our snow retention systems keep roofs controlled and safe all winter.
Up here, big roof slides are more than a nuisance. They can rip gutters off, crush decks and railings, damage vehicles and create serious safety hazards around your home. A metal roof without proper snow retention is asking for trouble once the snow starts stacking.
At Axtell Mtn Construction, we design and install engineered snow retention systems that work with your roof and your snow load, not against it. Using systems like @s5metalroofing S-5! Colorgard and DualGard, we help:
• Hold and meter snow so it melts gradually
• Protect gutters, decks, walks and driveways
• Reduce ice dam risk and migrating ice
Call our team to schedule a snow retention and roof assessment and make sure your home is set up for the rest of winter.

Peeling it back to the studs in Gunnison.
On this remodel, we are not just putting on new siding, we are rebuilding the wall system the right way. Roof torn off and dried in last week, old siding coming off, foam board out, and a new Zip System going up for a tighter, better performing exterior.
We are checking every stud, adding nail plates anywhere electrical is present, and replacing rotten framing around windows and along the lower 2x8 so this house is solid before the first piece of metal ever goes on. New fascia, full metal wrap, new garage door, and fresh siding are all on deck.
This is what it looks like when a “simple siding job” becomes a true upgrade in structure, safety and curb appeal.

Skyland just got a serious upgrade in roof style and performance.
We are excited to share that the Skyland Design Review Committee has officially approved CMG’s Ultra Low Gloss color line for use across the neighborhood. That means more roofs in rich, earth toned metals that blend into the landscape instead of shining like a tin can in the sun.
These low gloss colors are a perfect match for mountain living. They keep reflectivity down, complement Skyland’s neat landscape, river and peaks around Skyland, and still deliver the strength and longevity you want from a standing seam metal roof. Fire resistance, snow load performance and curb appeal, all in one system.
If you are a Skyland homeowner or property manager thinking about replacing cedar shake or aging shingles, now is the time to talk colors, profiles and timelines. We know the guidelines, we know the valley and we know how to build a roof that will serve your home for decades.
Contact our team to start planning your Skyland roof upgrade.

Happy New Year from Axtell Mtn Construction and Gunnison Sheet Metal & Roll Forming 🎉
New year, new heights. In 2026 we are raising the bar on what a mountain roof should do for your home, your clients and your investment. From cedar shake replacements to full standing seam systems, from panels and trim at the shop to install on site, our teams are working together to keep Colorado roofs ready for real snow load and fire risk.
Planning exterior work or roofing upgrades this year? Start with a roof assessment and a game plan built for your property, your timeline and our mountain weather.
Call our team to get on the 2026 schedule.
Snow on the roof, but never on the schedule
Last spring, St. Andrews gave us one of those classic Crested Butte workdays. Snow on the ground, cold air rolling through the valley, and a roof that needed to be finished before the next storm moved in. For some crews, that first dusting means delays. For us, it is a reminder of why homeowners trust Axtell Mtn Construction.
We kept the project moving safely and efficiently, installing a standing seam system designed to handle real winter weather. Every panel was built with precision, formed locally through Gunnison Sheet Metal, and installed to protect this home from heavy snow loads, ice, and mountain moisture.
The old roof was at the end of its life. St. Andrews now has a long term, fire resistant, snow ready system that will perform quietly through the season ahead. Snow might change the scenery, but it will not change our commitment to finish the job right.
Call our office today to schedule your consultation.

From the Axtell Mtn Construction and Gunnison Sheet Metal crew, happy holidays from the Gunnison Valley and beyond.
Thank you for trusting us to roof your homes, protect your properties and keep your mountain places safe through every storm this year. Every finished panel, every snow ready roof and every happy homeowner has been because of this community.
We are fired up for what is coming in 2026 with new projects, Durango expansion and even more metal made local.
If you need support with your roof this winter or want to start planning for next season, do not hesitate to reach out. Call the office, visit the website or send us an email and our team will be ready to help.
Big shoutout to Murphy Construction for the crane assist at our Outrun project. When you are moving sixty foot panels onto the roofs at The Outrun condos, you do not muscle it, you team up. This is how we get it done in the high country. Precision, teamwork and a whole lot of planning to land every panel clean and ready for install.

There is something special about the Wildhorse community. High above Crested Butte, the views stretch from rolling alpine meadows to the rugged peaks that make this valley feel like its own world. It is a place where families come to ski, gather, recharge and pass down memories year after year.
This home in Wildhorse just received the upgrade it deserved. We replaced the aging cedar shake roof with a 1 inch Mechanical Lock standing seam system designed to last up to 50 years. Built to withstand heavy snow loads, freeze thaw cycles, high winds and wildfire risks, this roof is now ready for every season the mountain throws at it.
What we love most about this project is knowing that the families who live here, and the families who will come after, now have a secure and long term roofing system that protects the home’s value and keeps their time in Crested Butte worry free.
Another Wildhorse roof complete. Another mountain home ready for decades of adventure.

Agnes has trail patrol. 🐾
Snowy sage, open sky and that quiet Gunnison kind of day where the only question is: where is she taking us next?
Through drifts, over tracks, nose to the ground, she always finds the best lines through this little winter maze. Out here is where we reset, think about the week ahead and remember why we care so much about protecting the homes that sit in this landscape.
Here is to cold noses, snow packed boots and following the dog who always knows the way.

Give me the SSQII, a fresh stack of coil, and a big mountain project like Outrun condomoniums and I am in my element. We are rolling 1.5 inch mechanical lock panels on site, and this machine is running smooth. Every sheet moves through the dies with clean bends and perfect symetry, building panels that can take wind, heavy snow load, and the long winters we see on Mount Crested Butte.
There is something satisfying about seeing each panel form right in front of you. Real craftsmanship, real control, and real precision. When we roll on site, we know every piece of metal going onto that roof is built for performance and built for these mountains
#CrestedButteLiving #ColoradoRoofing #MetalRoofExperts #AxtellMtnConstruction #MountainBuilt RoofReplacement.
We just wrapped this roof in The Villas on Mount Crested Butte and the transformation speaks for itself. New standing seam metal, clean lines, tight seams, and a full system built to handle deep snow, strong sun, and freeze thaw cycles that beat up weaker roofs fast.
The homeowners came to us with a roof that was showing its age. Snow was sliding in the wrong places, the old material was breaking down, and insurance was starting to apply pressure. This new system gives them durability, fire resistance, and a long term solution that will stand up to mountainside winters year after year.
From fabrication with our team at Gunnison Sheet Metal to on site installation, every part of this build was designed for mountain performance. Precision panels, proper ventilation, correct underlayment, and a total water shedding design that protects the home through every storm.
If your Crested Butte property needs a roof upgrade, now is the time to get ahead of winter.

📍 Wildhorse at Prospect – Mount Crested Butte
This neighborhood has truly transformed, and we are proud to be a part of it. Over the past season, our team at Axtell Mtn Construction has replaced aging cedar shake roofs throughout Wildhorse, helping homeowners invest in long-term protection and peace of mind.
Each new standing seam metal roof was designed for heavy snow loads, wildfire resistance, and year-round performance built to preserve both property value and family safety.
It’s been an honor to serve this community and help turn a necessary upgrade into a lasting investment in their homes and future.
Built local. Built to last. Built for the mountains.

Happy Thanksgiving from our entire team at Axtell Mtn Construction and Gunnison Sheet Metal.

Every project, every partnership and every property manager or homeowner who calls us is part of what makes this valley feel like home.
Thank you for relying on us to keep your homes protected through snow, wind, wildfire risk and every season the mountains bring. We will continue doing our part to make sure the roofs in our community stay strong, safe and built to last.

📍 Mount Crested Butte Roof Transformation
The season’s first dusting of snow did not slow us down on this project. Up on the slopes of Mount Crested Butte, we replaced an aging cedar shake roof with a 1 inch Mechanical Lock standing seam system in @cmgmetals CMG’s Ultra Low Gloss Dark Bronze. This color is one of our favorites for mountain homes because it blends beautifully with the landscape while delivering serious performance.
This home was ready for a system built to handle real winter conditions. Mechanical Lock panels create a strong, watertight assembly that stands up to freeze thaw cycles, migrating ice, and the heavy snow loads that define life in our valley.
A cedar shake roof may look rustic, but it brings major risks in our climate. High fire exposure, rapid weathering, insurance challenges, and the constant threat of snow and ice damage make metal a smart and necessary upgrade for long term protection.
Snow is coming fast. If your roof is past its prime or still relying on shake shingles, now is the time to get ahead of the season.
Contact our team today to schedule your roof consultation.

This weekend, the team went to Durango! We are ecstatic to extend our roofing services to Durango in 2026. All decked out in @offcenterdesignsco merch & AMC baby blue, we took to the streets to introduce our selves to the community. We knew it was a success when someone stopped our stickered up baby blue team to ask, are you Axtell Mtn Construction?? That’s right! And we’re here to make an impact. #LETSROOF
📍Powderview Drive, Crested Butte is part of the beautiful Skyland community where ski trails, river access, and mountain views meet the kind of high-altitude weather that demands a roof built with precision.
This Powderview home featured a multifaceted roof, a complex design with multiple slopes, valleys, and tie-ins where every connection point matters. Our team replaced the original cedar shake shingles with a fire resistant standing seam metal system built to handle snow load, high winds, and heavy freeze-thaw cycles. Every detail was carefully measured and aligned to ensure proper water shedding and long-term protection for decades to come.
For property managers, HOAs, and homeowners across Crested Butte, the time to plan is now. Cedar shake roofs not only age quickly but can create challenges with insurance and maintenance. A modern metal system provides safety, durability, and the peace of mind that your home is ready for any season.

Colorado’s northern lights came at the perfect time of year. November is a time where the countryside sheds its colors but the skies make up for it. Between the beautiful sunsets lately & this exciting natural phenomena, I again, am filled with gratitude to call Colorado & the Gunnison Valley home: a place where just a few minutes outside your front door, you can find natures beauties in their full show.
Don't let the thought of war and its cruelties turn your mind away from those who face war head on. We thank our veterans for their service to our people & country.
At Axtell & Gunnison Sheet Metal, we are proud to offer discounts to our veterans.
Thank you!

📍Willow Court, Crested Butte is tucked away in the quiet Skyland subdivision where river views meet mountain peaks and the roofs take on the full force of Colorado’s seasons.
We just completed another roof in this incredible community, replacing old cedar shake shingles with a low gloss, fire resistant standing seam metal system built for long term performance. Cedar shake roofs not only weather quickly but also pose serious fire risks and struggle under heavy snow loads, issues that can impact insurance coverage and home safety.
Working closely with the HOA, we have now completed 10 roofs in Willow Court, all approved in low gloss finishes that complement the neighborhood’s charm while protecting every home against the elements.
For homeowners in Skyland and across Crested Butte, now is the time to plan ahead. If your roof is showing its age or insurance is raising red flags, we can help you upgrade to a system built to last.
📞 Contact our team today to schedule your consultation and get your home ready for the seasons ahead.

A little transformation happening in the Wildhorse neighborhood up in Mount Crested Butte where we’ve been proud to help homeowners make the switch from cedar shake to fire-resistant metal roofing.
This community has been through insurance headaches and wildfire concerns as regulations tighten in the west, but together with the HOA board we’ve turned those challenges into real progress. Axtell Mtn became one of the two approved roofers for Wildhorse… and we’ve already completed 12 roofs and counting.
At Axtell Mountain Construction, it’s more than roofing. It’s about building relationships, protecting our neighbors’ homes, and proving that trust is earned one roof at a time.
Here’s to good partnerships, strong roofs, and a safer Crested Butte community.

The mountains we call home are breathtaking, but they carry real risks. Walking past stands of scortched Aspen and charred beetle-kill pine, you’re reminded how vulnerable our landscapes and our homes can be to wildfire.
Living in Crested Butte means preparation is not optional. At Axtell Mt Construction, we specialize in Class A fire-resistant standing seam metal roofing and siding that protect your shelter against sparks, embers, and extreme mountain conditions.
This season, take the steps to safeguard your home before it’s too late. From roof assessments to fire-ready upgrades, our team is here to make sure your property is protected.
Call us today to schedule your fire safety roof consultation. Because protecting your mountain home is about more than peace of mind - it’s about necessity.
Phase 1 of this multi-unit condo complex was completed in early spring 2025, featuring a 1” Mechanical Lock Standing Seam roof in Ultra Low Gloss Deep Black, one of our favorite finishes for mountain architecture.
This project presented a challenge with its low roof pitch and overlapping design, both common in multi-structure builds across Gunnison County. Low slope roofs can be prone to pooling water and ice buildup, which often leads to leaks, corrosion, and premature failure.
To ensure long-term protection, we double-locked every seam folding the panels twice to create a watertight barrier built to withstand heavy snow loads and freeze-thaw cycles. The result is a clean, durable, and fully sealed roof system that’s ready for whatever Colorado’s seasons bring.
Quality craftsmanship, precision installation, and locally sourced materials from @gunni_sheet_metal made this another project we’re proud to deliver on time and built to last.

Ever wonder how we get such clean, precise metal panels on our roofs and siding projects? It all comes down to our portable roll formers.
With Gunnison Sheet Metal @gunni_sheet_metal , we run two fully mobile roll forming machines capable of shaping multiple roof and siding profiles right on-site. Each panel is bent through a series of dies until it’s perfectly formed with no waste, no delays, and no compromise on quality.
Why does that matter? Because in Colorado’s high country, timing and precision are everything. On-site roll forming means:
✔️ No factory shipping delays or long lead times
✔️ Less material waste and faster production
✔️ Real-time quality control and exact fit every time
This process has changed the game for mountain roofing — keeping our work local, our quality unmatched, and our timelines tight.

🍂 Fall Storytime: A Mountain Perspective
Fall in Crested Butte is something special. The air turns crisp, the mountains glow in gold and red, and even the smallest details, like a single leaf catching raindrops, remind us how magical this season is.
However, issues arise when they clog gutters, creating backups that restrict proper ice melt and lead to ice dams, trapped moisture, or roof damage once the temperatures drop.
Fall also brings more moisture in the air and curious critters looking for warm spaces to nest. That is why fall is an essential time to make sure your roof is properly sealed against leaks and animal entry before winter sets in.
At Axtell Mtn Construction, we live and work in these mountains, and we know exactly what it takes to keep homes here protected through every season.
Call our team today to schedule your fall gutter clean-out or roof inspection.
Keep your roof tight, your gutters clear, and your home ready for whatever winter brings.

We are proud to share another completed roof, this time in the Wildhorse at Prospect neighborhood of Crested Butte. This project features a 1” Mechanical Lock Standing Seam roof in CMG Ultra Low Gloss Carbon, our favorite black finish for a clean, modern look.
What began as a traditional shingle system is now a sleek, durable metal roof built to take on Colorado’s toughest mountain weather. The clean striations add structure and style, while the mechanical lock system ensures long-term strength and performance.
With direct access to @gunni_sheet_metal, our turnaround time was unmatched. Local supply means faster installs, consistent quality, and materials made right here in the valley.
A good roof in the mountains is not just about looks. It is about fire resistance, snow load protection, and longevity. This system delivers all three, giving homeowners peace of mind and a roof built to last.

I’ve got to say, this summer has been incredibly efficient for the team — and this one was no exception. Just wrapped up another beautiful project for the Town of Mt. Crested Butte, and we couldn’t be prouder of the results.
We installed @cmgmetals Ultra Low Gloss Dark Bronze in a 1” Mechanical Lock standing seam with clean striations — sleek, durable, and ready to take on the extreme mountain weather. Shout out to @gunni_sheet_metal for rolling it out with the @newtechmach SSQll — smooth as ever!
Crested Butte is known for its stunning views, rugged winters, and vibrant community — so it only makes sense to give homes and buildings a roof that can match that energy and endure the elements. A good roof up here isn’t just about aesthetics, it’s about fire resistance, snow load protection, and longevity. This system checks all those boxes.
Thanks to the Town of Mt. CB for trusting us with this one. On to the next!
From coil to roof. This is how we roll: we make our own metal. Using the same roll-forming expertise utilized by sister company @gunni_sheet_metal, Axtell runs the metal in these coils through the trailered metal roll forming machine right at the jobsite. From flat sheet metal —> roof. #howitsmade

We recently implemented a new discrete heat cable installation feature pictured as a bar in the valleys of this roof. It is important to ensure melt through the valleys of your roof to avoid ice damming and ensure melt continues its path!
