During the Winter season most of us are just trying to stay warm and away from the cold weather.  Depending on where you live, your winter may be very harsh or pretty mild but either way your roof will likely take a beating, luckly there are some effective things you can do to help winterize your roof.  A good idea for any homeowner is to plan a week where you can go through a home winterization checklist and knock out those tasks before its too late, try to set aside an entire day specifically for your roof.  Winterizing your roof is an essential step to ensure that it can withstand the harsh winter weather. Proper roof winterization can prevent damage from snow and ice, as well as prolong the life of your roof. Here are some steps to help winterize your roof:Clean Your Roof: Begin by removing any leaves, branches, or debris from your roof. This will prevent water from becoming trapped, which can lead to ice dams and roof leaks.Check for Damage: Inspect your roof for any damage or signs of wear and tear, such as missing shingles, cracks, or holes. Repair any damage promptly to prevent further damage from [...]

One of our favorite roofing products to work with is stone coated steel. Stone coated steel roofing first came onto the market in the 1980s and really gained popularity more recently when people started replacing their wood shake roofs opting for something better. The technology has improved significantly in the last 20 years giving you better granular adhesion, airflow and traffic resilience. One of the biggest advantages of Stone Coated Steel is the impact resistance. It carries a (SH) class 4 rating meaning that it’s designed to withstand 1” hail without a problem. Unlike asphalt shingles or wood shake that break down with an impact, SCS panels can endure much more. In fact, they are so good that, as of the time of writing this, some SCS panels have been given a VSH (Very Severe Hail) rating. We here in Colorado live with wildfire. This was tragically demonstrated with the Marshall fire.- The most expensive in the state's history because so many homes were lost. Stone coated steel panels also provide superior fire resistance. Unlike asphalt shingles or wood shakes, steel does not burn. Not only does this provide greater protection for your home, insurance companies have taken notice. [...]

I’ve worked with many people in my career, and one of my sayings has always been, “If they Know you, Love you, and trust You, you will never have to sell a day in your life.” I truly believe if you are upfront and honest with the people you know, love, and trust, they will always remember how genuine you are and more than likely think about you to refer. I have been with Excel Construction Group for almost three years, and the referrals I have received has been better than any lead you could buy. Let’s face it; we can all raise our hands to say we all know a roofer, a banker, a mortgage guy, a lawn guy, or a realtor. There are so many wonderful people I can think daily to refer to them too. With that being said, one partnership I have found I love to work with is a realtor. Whether they are the buyers or sellers’ agents, I have discovered, the realtors like to be proactive during the option period. Instead, most would go ahead and send me out to provide them with a Free Roof Inspection Report for them. This service allows [...]

You’d be hard pressed to find a more scenic city to live in than Colorado Springs. Rocky Mountain views that take your breath away highlighted by 300 days of sunshine each year.

My name is Julius, I’m the Senior Solar Consultant at Excel Construction Group’s Denver division. I’m thrilled to have been able to help my clients take control of their energy production and stop having to rely on energy companies with the cost of electricity going through the roof. My latest client was worried about his natural gas costs as well, so we hooked him up with an additional 8 inches of attic insulation for free with the purchase of his solar system. Now his heating costs have dropped substantially and with his solar system installed, he’ll never have an electric bill again! This is just part of the reason I love my job, helping people realize the potential in this new industry has been extremely rewarding.

Before coming to Excel Construction Group, I knew absolutely nothing about the roofing industry. I couldn’t tell you the first thing about roof anatomy or the different types of roofing materials. I was a fitness instructor who was looking for a new career field, and I had a friend in the company who brought me on regardless of my inexperience. Excel Construction Group gave me in-house training, on-site experience, and gave me the time and resources I needed to be successful as a Sales Consultant. Working for Excel has been so fulfilling. Never have I been with a company who cared so much for both their employees and their clientele. I get to help homeowners through the potentially daunting process of navigating insurance claims and protecting their homes. People who, just like me one year ago, don’t know the first thing about the re-roofing process and are looking for a trustworthy contractor to guide them. I am excited to continue growing with this company and I know there is always more to learn. I can’t recommend Excel Construction Group enough, whether you are looking for a Roofing contractor in Colorado Springs or a place of work, this is the [...]

I’ve had a few experiences with homeowners that have stood out to me during my time with Excel Construction Group. Meeting with Robert and Marcia H. was one of those awesome experiences. I had been working in their area and knocked on their door as my last knock for the day. Robert and his wife have served in the military and were expecting another child. He knew he was having a problem with his roof and he had called his insurance, but they unjustly denied his original claim. He allowed us to inspect and went over the damage with them. We educated them on him to reopen his claim and asked for a reinspect. He had us meet with his insurance adjuster and I assisted that adjuster in getting Robert everything needed for a complete re-roof. Experiences like these are what keep me motivated and fulfilled in this industry. -Kyle Teller
