Specialty
Custom Metal Fabrication
An in-house metal shop, in the heart of the Roaring Fork Valley.
Rocky Mountain Exteriors operates its own custom metal fabrication shop in Glenwood Springs. That single fact changes everything about how we run projects in Aspen, Snowmass, Basalt, and Carbondale: builders aren't waiting weeks for a flashing detail, architects aren't compromising on materials, and homeowners aren't getting "close enough" on a multi-million-dollar build.
Same-day turnaround on most custom pieces. Premium materials in stock — real copper, brass, zinc, and architectural steel. And a crew that fabricates and installs the same metal every week, not occasionally.
Shop capabilities
What we fabricate
Architectural Sheet Metal
Custom flashings, copings, parapet caps, kick-outs, crickets, and standing seam panels — fabricated to spec for your project.
Copper & Brass
Real copper and brass roofing, gutters, bay caps, finials, and chimney work for high-end Aspen and Snowmass homes that demand it.
Custom Gutters
Half-round and K-style gutters in any metal, fabricated on-site in seamless runs and matched to historic and architectural details.
Snow & Ice Systems
Engineered snow-guard, snow-fence, and ice-control systems for steep mountain roofs — designed for actual Roaring Fork snow loads.
Chimney & Vent Work
Custom chimney caps, shrouds, vent boots, and pipe flashings sized and finished for each opening — no off-the-shelf compromises.
Builder & Architect Partnership
We work directly off architect details, take shop drawings seriously, and meet schedules on multi-million-dollar custom builds.
Premium materials in stock
We don't substitute. When the spec calls for 20 oz copper, that's what gets installed. When the architect wants a pre-weathered zinc bay, we fabricate it. Materials we work with regularly include:
- Copper (16, 20, 24 oz)
- Brass — sheet and fabricated
- Zinc (architectural pre-weathered)
- Architectural steel — Kynar 500 / PVDF finishes
- Aluminum — full color range
- Galvanized & Galvalume
- Stainless — Type 304 / 316 for chimney & coastal exposure
For Aspen and Snowmass custom homes specifically, copper and brass detailing has become a signature element — and we've built the inventory and skill set to do it consistently.
