Roof Replacement in Colorado Springs

Signs You Need a Roof Replacement

After 26 years working in Colorado’s demanding climate, we’ve learned to spot the telltale signs that indicate it’s time for a complete roof replacement rather than repairs. Here’s what we look for during our inspections.

Age is the biggest factor. Most asphalt shingle roofs in Colorado Springs last 18-22 years due to intense UV exposure and thermal cycling. Metal roofs can go 40+ years, but if your current roof is approaching these milestones, replacement often makes more financial sense than repeated repairs.

Storm damage accumulates over time. Colorado’s hail storms don’t just create visible damage—they compromise shingle granules and create micro-fractures that lead to premature aging. We often find roofs that look fine from the ground but show significant hail impact when inspected up close.

Multiple leak points signal systemic failure. One leak might be repairable, but when we find water intrusion in several areas, the underlying roof deck and weatherproofing have usually failed. At that point, a full replacement protects your family’s investment better than patchwork repairs.

Types of Roofs We Replace

Our Colorado Springs team specializes in residential roof replacements, handling everything from traditional gable roofs to complex hip and gambrel designs. We replace steep-slope roofs most commonly, but also handle flat and low-slope applications for garages and commercial buildings.

Steep-slope residential roofs make up 85% of our replacement work. These include gable roofs (excellent for snow shedding), hip roofs (superior wind resistance), and more complex designs that require careful flashing and weatherproofing details.

Flat and low-slope roofs need specialized membrane systems. We install TPO, PVC, and EPDM systems that handle Colorado’s temperature extremes and UV exposure. These require different installation techniques and materials than traditional shingle roofs.

Roofing Materials We Install

Our material selection focuses on products that excel in Colorado’s unique climate: heavy snow loads, intense high-altitude UV, temperature swings from -20°F to 100°F, and sudden hail storms. Here’s what we recommend after 26 years of mountain installations.

Asphalt shingles remain our most popular choice for good reason. Modern architectural shingles offer excellent performance in temperature extremes while staying budget-friendly. GAF’s Timberline HDZ and CertainTeed’s Landmark series both carry Class 4 hail ratings and 30-year warranties. We’ve installed thousands of these systems, and they consistently perform well in Colorado Springs’ challenging conditions. The key is proper installation—our crews follow manufacturer specifications exactly, paying special attention to starter courses and high-wind areas.

Metal roofing excels in our climate like nowhere else. Standing seam steel systems shed snow effortlessly, resist hail damage that would destroy shingles, and last 40-50 years with minimal maintenance. Decra stone-coated steel combines metal’s performance with traditional appearance—perfect for neighborhood HOA requirements. The upfront cost runs 2-3 times higher than asphalt, but energy savings and longevity make it cost-effective over time. We’ve seen metal roofs installed in the 1980s that still look and perform like new.

Tile roofing works beautifully for specific architectural styles and south-facing exposures. Concrete and clay tiles reflect intense UV better than any other material, keeping homes cooler during summer. Bartile’s Colorado-made products handle freeze-thaw cycles well and carry 50+ year warranties. The weight requires structural evaluation, but properly installed tile roofing can last a lifetime.

Synthetic roofing materials offer the best of both worlds—lightweight like asphalt but durable like slate. These composite products resist UV damage, handle temperature extremes, and come with 30-50 year warranties. They’re particularly good for complex roof designs where weight matters but longevity is important.

We also install wood shake, single-ply membranes (TPO, PVC, EPDM) for commercial applications, modified bitumen, and built-up roofs, depending on your specific needs.

Roof Replacement Costs in Colorado Springs

Let’s be honest about pricing—roof replacement represents a significant investment, and you deserve transparent information to make informed decisions. Our 26 years of experience in Colorado Springs gives us insight into what affects costs and how to maximize your investment.

Material costs vary dramatically. Asphalt shingle replacements typically run $8-12 per square foot installed, while metal systems range $12-18 per square foot. Tile and synthetic materials fall somewhere between. These prices include complete tear-off, disposal, and installation with proper underlayment and flashing.

Roof complexity affects labor costs more than size. A simple gable roof replacement costs less per square foot than a complex design with multiple dormers, valleys, and penetrations. Steep pitches (common in mountain architecture) require additional safety equipment and slower installation, adding 15-20% to labor costs.

Colorado-specific factors include snow load requirements, high-wind zones, and disposal fees. Our installation techniques account for snow loads up to 30 pounds per square foot, and we follow Colorado’s building codes for proper ventilation and ice dam prevention. Disposal costs run higher here due to limited landfill options.

Most replacements range $15,000-35,000 for typical Colorado Springs homes. This includes permits, complete tear-off, disposal, new underlayment, proper ventilation, and warranty coverage. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs—no surprises or hidden fees.
