Akron School Campus Re-Roof: Standing Seam Metal and TPO in One Summer

Blue Peaks Roofing re-roofed the Akron School District R-1 PK-12 campus in Akron, Colorado, after hail damage. We tore off the original standing seam roof and installed nearly 988 squares of new standing seam metal and TPO between late May and mid-August 2026, so staff and students came back to a finished roof.

The challenge

One summer, two roof systems, a rural campus

A school roof has to be finished before the school year starts. This campus needed nearly 988 squares of new roof across two different systems, with clean transitions between the metal and the low-slope TPO, on a rural eastern plains site exposed to Colorado weather.

Rooftop mechanical, electrical and gutter work all had to be sequenced around the roofing so the whole campus was ready on time.

What we did

Tear-off to closeout

  • Full tear-off of the original standing seam metal roof, including ridge, gable and eave trim, pipe flashings, endwalls and closures.
  • New synthetic underlayment field-wide, with high-temperature self-adhered ice and water membrane at eaves, valleys, penetrations and low-slope transitions.
  • 828 squares of new Sheffield Metal 22-gauge Double Lock standing seam panels over the existing structural deck, with new trim and flashings.
  • A separate 159.59-square TPO low-slope system with cover board and insulation, tied into the metal at detailed transitions.
  • Rooftop HVAC beauty walls removed and reinstalled with the mechanical contractor, plus coordination with the electrical and gutter trades.
  • Snow retention removed, inspected and reset.

How we ran the site

Site controls on an active school campus

Material was staged and offloaded by crane during mobilization week. The work area was fenced, crews used a boom lift for elevated access and tied off on the metal, and debris was controlled throughout the job.

Our crews documented the work from tear-off to closeout with more than 7,000 CompanyCam photos, so the district had a clear record of every phase.

The result

A finished roof before school started

  • Final inspection passed and punch walk completed.
  • Manufacturer warranty registrations completed for the metal and TPO systems.
  • Staff and students returned for the 2026-27 school year to a completed dual-system roof.
