At Done Right Roofing and Exteriors, we take pride in doing the job right the first time—no shortcuts, no surprises. Recently, we wrapped up a commercial project for Stone Creek Charter School in Beaver Creek,CO. that involved installing a full asphalt shingle roofing system on a newly constructed school building, along with building a wood fence around the front perimeter.
The Challenge
The client needed a dependable roofing crew based in Colorado that could get on-site quickly and deliver high-quality work on a tight timeline. In this article you can read and see how we approached this challenge.
Our Approach
We used Owens Corning roofing materials, known for their durability and long-term performance. The full roofing system included:
- 30lb synthetic felt
- Grace Ice & Water Shield for high-quality ice dam protection
- Class 4 shingles – impact-resistant and built to last
These materials don’t just meet code—they exceed expectations, especially for a building that needs to stand up to changing weather and heavy use.
We chose this combination of materials because when it comes to a commercial structure like a school, you’re not just building a roof—you’re building a protective system that needs to last, perform, and minimize the risk of issues over time. The 30lb synthetic felt underlayment offers a higher level of tear resistance and better performance in high-wind conditions compared to standard organic felt. It’s lightweight, easy to install, and lays flat—reducing the chance of buckling or water pooling over time.
For waterproofing, Grace Ice & Water Shield is the go-to. We don’t cut corners when it comes to moisture protection, and Grace’s membrane sticks tight to decking and around nails, creating a self-sealing barrier that dramatically lowers the risk of leaks—especially in critical areas like eaves, valleys, and roof penetrations. It’s especially important in climates that get snow and freeze/thaw cycles, where water intrusion can quickly lead to mold or structural damage.
Finally, the Class 4 impact-rated shingles we selected offer top-tier resistance against hail and debris—perfect for high-traffic or high-risk environments. We recommend Class 4 shingles for clients who want to reduce long-term maintenance and avoid emergency repairs after every storm. They’re also a smart investment, potentially qualifying the building for insurance discounts due to their durability rating.
The fence
For the fence, we built a strong, clean-lined structure using:
- 6×6 Cedar posts
- 2×6 Cedar rails
We went with cedar because it’s naturally rot-resistant, insect-resistant, and holds up extremely well in outdoor environments without the need for constant treatment or sealing. It’s a top choice for projects that need both function and a polished, professional look. The 6×6 posts give the fence a sturdy base and a strong visual presence—they don’t just look solid, they are solid. You won’t get any wobble or lean over time like you might with smaller or lower-grade posts.
The 2×6 rails give us the right amount of structural support while maintaining a clean profile. This size also helps prevent sagging and warping, especially important in commercial settings where longevity matters. The overall design gives the property a welcoming front without sacrificing durability or safety—exactly what you want around a public space like a school.
We recommended these materials based on performance, local weather patterns, and the long-term savings they offer in terms of maintenance and replacements. In our line of work, we’ve seen what lasts and what doesn’t. Our goal is always to deliver a finished product that stands up to time, use, and the elements—so we spec the job accordingly.

Timeline & Execution
This job took about one week from start to finish. Our crew worked efficiently and stayed focused from day one. We also helped the client with a few additional items outside the original scope to keep their overall construction schedule on track.
This level of efficiency and commitment isn’t just reserved for commercial jobs—it’s the same approach we bring to every project, no matter the size. Whether we’re roofing a school, a family home, or building a backyard fence, our crews follow the same proven work procedures, use the same high-quality materials, and maintain the same standard of craftsmanship.
What allows us to move fast without cutting corners is simple: experience, preparation, and consistency. Our team knows what works and how to adapt when the unexpected comes up—which it often does in construction. Because we’ve been hands-on in the field for years, we’re able to pivot quickly, solve problems on the spot, and keep things moving without sacrificing quality.
Residential clients get the same attention to detail and build quality as our commercial partners. We don’t believe in two different standards of service. When we show up to a job, we do it right, we do it clean, and we get it done on schedule. That’s how we built our reputation—and that’s how we plan to keep it.
The Result
The client was more than satisfied. Not only did we meet their deadline, but they appreciated the flexibility we showed in helping them get across the finish line. It’s that kind of service that keeps builders and project managers calling us back.
Whether it’s a large commercial job or a residential repair, Done Right Roofing and Exteriors delivers results you can count on—done once, done right.
