Dealer Spotlight
Mile High Metal Works
Boulder, CO
Designed Through Partnership, Proven in the Field
Mile High Metal Works is a Colorado-based miscellaneous metals and structural steel provider serving multifamily, mixed-use, and commercial projects throughout the Front Range and nationally. Located just outside Boulder, Colorado, the Mile High team is often at the place where architectural ambition and tight construction schedules meet.
As a Superior dealer, Mile High works closely with general contractors, developers, and design teams to deliver aluminum balcony systems and other exterior metals that install fast, look good, and stand the test of time.
Why Mile High Chose Superior
Balcony systems can create problems in the field if they aren’t fully coordinated upfront. With Superior, that work is handled before the system ever reaches the site, which makes installation more predictable and keeps projects moving.

Built for Jobsite Execution
Balcony systems don’t succeed in isolation. On multi-family projects they involve structure, waterproofing, sequencing, and multiple exterior trades, often on tight sites where flexibility disappears once construction is underway. For dealers and miscellaneous metals teams, this is where risk either compounds or gets controlled.
Superior’s dealer model is built to shift that risk upstream. By engineering, fabricating, and assembling balcony systems before they reach the site, Superior helps dealers simplify coordination, which directly reduces risk and variability for dealers managing multiple buildings or crews.
An Operations-First Perspective
For Mile High Metal Works, jobsite efficiency is driven by what happens long before crews are on lifts. As Director of Operations, Bill O’Neill oversees the coordination required to ensure exterior metal systems install cleanly across complex projects and active jobsites.
That responsibility shaped Mile High’s decision to partner with Superior as they ultimately selected a manufacturer that resolves critical details upstream so execution in the field remains predictable.
When balcony systems are coordinated early, installation becomes far more predictable. That’s the difference we see working with Superior.
-Bill O'Neill, Director of Operations, Mile High Metal Works
Although Mile High’s background is rooted in steel, working with Superior’s aluminum balcony systems highlights what adoption actually looks like. Rather than treating aluminum as a one-off material choice, Mile High integrated Superior’s aluminum systems into their broader offering, aligning fabrication, coordination, and installation around a repeatable platform.
When it comes to exterior performance, aluminum’s strength-to-weight ratio is unmatched, with corrosion resistance that delivers long-term durability without adding complexity.
As an alternate to traditional steel assemblies that can create maintenance challenges, Superior’s aluminum systems arrive fully finished, installation-ready, and are virtually maintenance-free.
Why Aluminum?
“I’ve been a steel guy my whole career, so aluminum was new to me. What impressed me was how strong and rigid the balconies felt despite being so much lighter. There’s no creaking or movement, and the finish quality is cleaner than what we typically see with steel.”

Projects
Mile High Metal Works has partnered with Superior on multiple multifamily projects across Colorado, including:
-
Diagonal Plaza — Boulder, CO
-
The Gallery at Fort Collins — Fort Collins, CO
Across these projects, consistent outcomes emerged:
-
Fewer field modifications
-
Cleaner handoffs between trades
-
More predictable installation sequencing
-
Reduced risk on tight schedules
The result is a smoother installation process and a more repeatable outcome from project to project.

A Proven Model for Project of All Complexities
Complex balcony scopes demand precision, consistency, and clear ownership long before crews reach the site. Superior’s prefabricated aluminum balcony systems are designed to resolve scope, detailing, and sequencing early—so execution in the field stays predictable.
For dealers like Mile High Metal Works, that means operating as an extension of Superior: aligned standards, shared accountability, and a repeatable system that performs the same way on every project. As a Superior Dealer, you'll be part of the Superior family—working within a trusted network committed to quality, consistency, and long-term success in the field.
