Roofing in Woodland Park
At 8,481 feet, Woodland Park is the one town we work in where the ice barrier is not a judgement call — it is required.

Yes — mandatory above 7,000 ft
Defining hazard
Snow and freeze-thaw
The ice barrier is mandatory here
PPRBD requires that properties above 7,000 ft carry an ice barrier at the eaves: not fewer than two layers of underlayment cemented together, or a self-adhering polymer-modified bitumen sheet, running from the eave edge to at least 24 inches inside the exterior wall line. Woodland Park is 8,481 ft. There is no version of this job that leaves it out, and a bid that does not price it has not been written for this town.
Teller County, PPRBD jurisdiction
Woodland Park is in Teller County, but it is still permitted through the Pikes Peak Regional Building Department rather than a separate Teller authority. That trips up contractors who assume the county line is also the permit line.
Freeze-thaw is the long-run problem
At this elevation a roof cycles through freezing and thawing far more often than one in the city does. That cycling is what works fasteners loose and opens sealant, so the detailing and the ventilation are doing more work here than the field material is.
