Roof Repair & Replacement
How do I know if I need a repair or a full replacement? It depends on the extent and location of the damage, your roof's age, and its overall condition. During a free inspection, we assess all of these factors and give you an honest recommendation — we don't push a full replacement when a repair will genuinely do the job.
How long does a roof replacement take? Most residential roof replacements are completed within one to three days, weather permitting, depending on roof size, material, and pitch. Commercial and low-slope projects vary based on scope.
What's the average lifespan of a roof in Colorado? It varies by material — asphalt shingles typically last 20–30 years, metal roofing 40–70 years, and tar & gravel (BUR) systems 20–30 years — but Colorado's hail, UV exposure, and temperature swings can shorten these ranges without proper materials and maintenance.
Do you offer emergency roof repair? Yes. Storm damage, leaks, and wind events don't wait for a convenient time, and we keep availability for emergency calls across our service area.
What is a Class 4 impact-resistant roof, and is it worth it? Class 4 shingles are tested to withstand a 2-inch steel ball dropped from 20 feet without cracking. Given how common hail is across Southern Colorado, Class 4 shingles are one of the highest-value upgrades a homeowner can make, and many insurers offer premium discounts for installing them.
Storm Damage & Insurance
How do I know if my roof has hail damage? Common signs include dented or cracked shingles, granule loss visible in your gutters, dented metal flashing or vents, and soft spots when walked on. Because hail damage isn't always visible from the ground, we recommend a free professional inspection after any significant hailstorm.
Does homeowners' insurance cover hail or wind damage? Most standard policies cover sudden hail and wind damage, but coverage details, deductibles, and depreciation schedules vary by policy and provider. Our team helps document damage and works directly with your adjuster throughout the claims process.
Do you help with the insurance claims process? Yes — we're experienced insurance claim specialists. We assist with inspection documentation, meet with adjusters on-site when needed, and guide you through the process from initial claim to completed repair or replacement.
Will filing a claim raise my insurance rates? This depends on your carrier and policy history, and it's a conversation worth having directly with your insurance agent. We can provide the documentation you need either way.
The Process
Is the inspection really free? Yes, every roof inspection and estimate is free, with no obligation.
What happens during a roof inspection? We assess your roof's current condition, check for storm or wear damage, evaluate ventilation and flashing, and walk you through your options — repair, partial replacement, or full replacement — along with manufacturer and pricing choices that fit your budget.
Do I need to be home during the roof work? Not for the work itself, though we recommend being reachable in case questions come up. We'll walk you through the finished job afterward.
Do you handle permits? Yes, we handle any required permitting as part of the project process.
Commercial Roofing
Do you work on commercial properties? Yes — we install and repair commercial low-slope roofing systems including TPO, EPDM, PVC, and tar & gravel (BUR), in addition to residential roofing.
Can a commercial flat roof be repaired instead of fully replaced? Often, yes. Most localized issues can be repaired without a full tear-off if the underlying structure is sound — something we assess during every commercial inspection.
