What we handle

We are actively working with property managers, realtors, and home inspectors who need a straight answer on a roof’s condition rather than a sales pitch.

• Full tear-off and replacement
• Roof repair
• Storm and hail damage restoration
• Insurance claim work, including supplements
• Solar panel remove and reset
• Decking repair and replacement
• Vents, flashing, and drip edge
• Gutters, soffit, and fascia

Rofing materials we install

Material	Best for	Notes
Architectural asphalt shingles	Most Colorado Springs homes	The standard replacement. Fast install, wide color range.
Class 4 impact-resistant shingles	Hail-prone areas	Rated to UL 2218 Class 4, the highest impact classification.
Standing seam metal	Longevity, snow shedding	Higher cost, very long service life.
Stone-coated steel	Metal durability, traditional look	Reads like shingle or tile from the ground.
Synthetic slate	Slate appearance without the weight	No structural reinforcement required.

That is not an accusation of bad faith. It is a structural fact of how claims are written.

Permit fees are missing from every claim we see. Insurance estimating software cannot price a local permit, so it does not include one. The fee is a legitimate part of the cost of restoring your roof to code.

Beyond the permit, first estimates routinely omit code-required items: ice and water shield where the address requires it, ventilation, gutters, and proper disposal of the old material. On the siding side, we regularly see missing vapor barrier, misclassified siding grade, missing low voltage wiring, and no allowance for moving the homeowner’s belongings.

We take the claim over from there and file the supplement. If you want us to meet your adjuster on site, we will.

Two claims worth describing

The discontinued siding. An insurer approved a full roof replacement but only about 252 square feet of vinyl siding. We obtained an ITEL report establishing that the homeowner’s siding had been discontinued and could not be matched. The carrier approved siding for the entire house and the garage, and we added the code-required items that had been left out. The homeowner got a complete exterior instead of a patch.

The WUI upgrade. On a property in a Wildland-Urban Interface zone, we had the carrier upgrade the approved scope from vinyl to James Hardie fiber cement, because non-combustible cladding is what that zone requires.

Neither outcome happens automatically. Both required somebody to read the estimate against the code and push back.

Hail does not stop at the roofline

This is the part most homeowners find out too late.

The same hail that bruises your shingles dents siding, fascia, and gutters. But adjusters frequently write the roof and miss the walls — partly because the roof is the obvious damage, and partly because a roofing contractor inspecting your property is looking at the roof.

We have replaced siding on El Paso County homes since 2014 and we replace roofs. When we inspect after a storm, we inspect the entire exterior, and we document all of it for your insurer in one claim. There is a further wrinkle inside the Colorado Springs Wildland Urban Interface. As of June 30, 2026, under Appendix K of the city’s fire code, a home in the WUI that receives 25% or more replacement of its exterior cladding has to be rebuilt with ignition-resistant materials. The previous threshold was 50%, so it now takes half as much damage to trigger it. A hail claim that crosses that line is no longer a like-for-like siding replacement — the material has to change, and that belongs in the claim from the start rather than surfacing after the scope is approved.

A roofing-only company cannot make that argument. Neither can a siding-only company. It is the specific reason we added roofing rather than staying in one trade.

What a roof replacement costs in Colorado Springs

Most residential roof replacements in this area fall between $12,000 and $25,000. The working number is $650 to $850 per 100 square feet of roof area.

What moves you within that range:

Pitch. Roofs at 8:12 and steeper get progressively more expensive as the pitch increases.

• Complexity. Ridges, valleys, and hips are not expensive in themselves, but they slow the work down and increase material waste.
• Decking repair. Roughly $100 to $125 per 4×8 sheet of OSB that has to be replaced. This is not knowable until the old roof is off.
• Existing layers. Each additional layer of old roofing adds about $35 to $40 per 100 square feet to remove.
• Cedar shake. If the existing roof is cedar shake, add approximately $50 per 100 square feet.
• Solar panels. $300 to $450 per panel to remove and reset, depending on roof complexity. Solar removal requires its own permit.

We give you a written estimate after the inspection, and the decking allowance is stated up front so there is no surprise once the tear-off starts.

If you are paying out of pocket rather than through an insurance claim, financing options are available, including a 12-month no-payments, no-interest plan.

The code requirements depend on your address

Roofing code in this region is not uniform. It changes by jurisdiction and sometimes by elevation, and one of the more expensive line items — ice barrier — varies more than almost anything else.

El Paso County (PPRBD). Ice barrier is required only on properties above 7,000 feet in elevation, running from the eave edge to at least 24 inches inside the exterior wall line. Below 7,000 feet it is not a code requirement. Your property’s elevation is printed on the permit receipt.

Pueblo (PRBD). Ice barrier is not required. The department’s own re-roofing guide states this directly.

Douglas County. Unincorporated Douglas County requires it above 7,000 feet. Municipalities differ significantly — Castle Rock requires it on essentially all roofs, while Lone Tree and Castle Pines do not. Parker and Larkspur have to be confirmed with the building department directly.

This is close to address-specific, and it is one of the clearest reasons to hire a contractor who pulls the permit and knows the jurisdiction. A crew that does not know which side of 7,000 feet your house sits on is guessing with your money.

If you are in the Wildland Urban Interface

Homes inside the Colorado Springs WUI carry clearance rules that most homeowners have never been told about, and they apply to the area around your roof.
Colorado Springs Wildland Urban Interface

Tree branches, other than character trees and deciduous trees, are not permitted to extend over or under the roof or eaves, and must stay at least 15 feet from a chimney or wood-burning appliance. Conifers and similarly combustible plants cannot be planted under soffit vents. Hazardous brush and trees such as junipers and conifers are not allowed within 15 feet of the structure, measured from the drip line of the tree.

It is worth knowing because it is enforced, and because a contractor who has never mentioned the WUI to you probably has not checked whether your address is in it. You can look your address up on the Fire Department’s WUI map, linked from coswildfireready.org.

Solar panels

If you have solar, the roof replacement gets more involved, and this is where we do something most roofing companies do not.

Before the panels come off, we test them and document their performance. After the roof is finished and the panels are reset, we test them again and confirm they are performing as they were before the work started. You receive that documentation.

Solar removal and reset requires its own permit, pulled by a licensed contractor. Budget $300 to $450 per panel depending on the complexity of the roof.

The reason for testing before and after is straightforward: if a panel fails six months later, nobody can establish whether the roof work caused it. The report settles that question in advance.

What happens on install day

A typical residential asphalt shingle roof is a one-day job with a six to seven person crew.

Our production manager supervises the installation. He has many years of experience across a wide range of roof types, residential and commercial. He takes progress photographs throughout, and he is the person responsible for catching anything that could not be seen from the ground during the inspection — rotted decking, previous repairs done badly, damage hidden under the old shingles.

When the roof is done:

• Every nail, old and new, is picked up with a magnet
• Gutters are cleared of granules, shingle fragments, nails, and debris
• Old roofing material goes to a recycling facility
• Landscaping is protected during the work and is normally unaffected

You get one point of contact who is on your roof, not a salesperson who hands you off after the contract is signed.

Why you should not hire the person who knocks on your door

We have met multiple homeowners in this region who lost money to a storm chaser. Here is what they have told us.
Colorado Springs Wildland Urban Interface

Fake local identity. Business cards printed to look like a local company. They take a deposit and are never seen again.

No license, no permit. Many are not licensed and do not pull permits. If someone is injured on your roof — or claims they were — you can be personally liable for their medical bills and lost wages.

Ask you to pull the permit yourself. This is the clearest red flag there is. If the permit is in your name, you are the party responsible for code compliance, not the contractor. A licensed contractor pulls the permit. Someone asking you to pull it is telling you they cannot.

No warranty in practice. A company from out of state is not driving back to Colorado Springs to look at your roof in year three.

The rule is simple: if a roofing company knocked on your door, do not hire them. Tell them you have already engaged a contractor and you do not need a free inspection.

Find companies yourself and contact them first. That way you know you initiated the conversation and the company is real. Then ask three questions:

1. Will you pull the permit?
2. What is your labor warranty, in writing?
3. Who is the specific person running my project, and will they be on site?
