Standing Seam Metal — Dark Bronze
Custom-fabricated panels for 12/12 pitch
"The completed installation transformed the property's curb appeal and eliminated the chronic leak issues. The 24-gauge Kynar 500 panels carry a manufacturer color warranty and are engineered for the UV intensity and temperature swings at 4,100 feet. The homeowner reported zero issues through their first full winter season."
"We've used Highlander for two properties now. Their standing seam metal work is exceptional and they genuinely understand the mountain climate challenges. Five stars every time."

Inside the Project
A complex multi-gable standing seam metal roof replacement on a mountain estate in Highlands. The steep 12/12 pitch and multiple roof intersections required custom-fabricated panels and precision installation by our most experienced metal crew.
Mountain Conditions & Technical Hurdles
The existing roof had suffered years of accelerated wear from Highlands' extreme UV exposure and freeze-thaw cycles at 4,100+ feet. Multiple prior patch repairs had compromised flashing integrity, and the complex gable geometry demanded custom panel fabrication for every intersection.

What Changed
Complete removal of deteriorated metal roofing with multiple failed patch repairs. Replaced with custom-fabricated 24-gauge standing seam panels, new underlayment system, and precision-fitted trim on all 8 gable intersections.
Why It Mattered
The existing roof was leaking at multiple points, causing interior damage and compromising the home's envelope integrity at 4,100 feet elevation. Every winter freeze-thaw cycle worsened the problem.
The Highlander Difference
Custom panel fabrication eliminated field-cutting waste and ensured precision fit. Pre-project drone survey mapped every intersection. Staggered installation maintained weather protection throughout the 8-day project.
