High-Country Club Roof Replacement
Steep-Slope Roof Transformation
High-Country Residential Complex
A multi-building boutique condo community in the Rocky Mountains
Location
Edwards, CO
Summary
The DCPS Roofing team delivered a comprehensive roof replacement on a steep-slope, high-altitude property. The work included a full tear-off of the existing roof system, installation of protective underlayments, new DaVinci composite shake tiles, standing seam metal accents, seamless gutters, and integrated heat cable for snow and ice control.
Challenge
The project presented several access and logistical constraints, including steep-slope conditions, limited entry points, multiple balconies, a high-visibility location that required a clean, efficient workflow, and a building that needed to remain operational. The schedule was tight, leaving a small window for completion without disrupting the surrounding community. The facility remained fully operational throughout construction, requiring quiet, clean, and carefully coordinated work sequences that prioritized occupant safety, minimized disruption, and maintained continuous day-to-day operations.
Solution
The team resolved these constraints by increasing manpower, coordinating weekend work, and applying hands-on project management throughout the build. This approach ensured quality control, minimized disruptions, and kept the project on track despite the complex site conditions and accelerated timeline.
The project began with a full tear-off and disposal of the existing wood shake and standing seam roof materials. Once the deck was exposed, the crew inspected all substrate conditions to confirm structural integrity. A full ice-and-water shield was installed across the entire roof deck, along with energy-saving underlayment for added performance. Low-slope areas received a durable membrane, and steel snow guards were strategically placed to manage winter loading. The new multi-width DaVinci composite shake roof provided a long-lasting, Class A fire-rated upgrade that maintains the look of natural cedar while delivering superior durability. The team then installed new 24-gauge standing seam metal roofing and flashings, followed by 6-inch seamless gutters, 3×4-inch downspouts, and 240-volt heat cable integrated throughout the drainage system. The result is a resilient, energy-efficient, mountain-ready roofing system built to perform year-round.
