Roof Installation in Colorado

Roofing Materials We Install

Asphalt Shingles

Our most popular choice for Colorado homes, modern asphalt shingles offer exceptional value with proven performance in extreme temperature swings—from summer heat to winter’s -20°F nights. We install premium impact-resistant shingles rated for hail up to 2 inches in diameter, crucial protection given Colorado’s position in “Hail Alley.” With warranties ranging from 20-30 years and excellent UV resistance for high-altitude installations, these shingles deliver reliable protection at an affordable price point. Their lightweight design also means less stress on your home’s structure during heavy snow loads.

Metal Roofing

When Colorado homeowners want maximum durability and snow-shedding capability, metal roofing stands out as our top recommendation. Standing seam and steel panel systems excel at preventing ice dams—a major concern along the Front Range—while their smooth surface allows snow to slide off naturally, preventing dangerous accumulation. With 30-50 year warranties depending on the metal type, these roofs pay for themselves through energy savings (reflecting summer heat) and virtually zero maintenance requirements. We’ve seen metal roofs survive hailstorms that destroyed neighboring asphalt roofs, making them ideal for properties from Fort Collins to Colorado Springs.

Tile Roofing (Clay/Concrete)

For homes seeking southwestern aesthetics with unmatched longevity, clay and concrete tiles provide 50+ year performance with natural fire resistance—critical in wildfire-prone areas. These materials excel at reflecting Colorado’s intense high-altitude UV radiation while maintaining their color and structural integrity for decades. Their thermal mass helps regulate interior temperatures, reducing both heating and cooling costs throughout our dramatic seasonal changes. While the initial investment is higher, we’ve serviced tile roofs installed in the 1960s that still outperform newer materials.

Synthetic Roofing

Engineered composite slate and shake products represent the latest advancement in roofing technology, combining the aesthetic appeal of natural materials with superior performance in Colorado’s challenging climate. These lightweight alternatives reduce structural load concerns while delivering 30-50 year warranties and exceptional resistance to both hail impact and freeze-thaw cycles. Their advanced polymer construction won’t crack or split like natural materials when temperatures plunge, and they maintain their appearance despite intense UV exposure at elevation.

We also install Wood Shake, Single-ply membranes (TPO, PVC, EPDM) for commercial applications, Modified Bitumen, and Built-Up Roofs (BUR), depending on your specific needs and building requirements.

Roof Types We Specialize In

Gable Roof

The workhorse of Colorado residential construction, gable roofs excel at shedding our heavy snow loads while providing excellent attic ventilation—critical for preventing ice dams. Their simple design means faster installation and easier maintenance access.

Hip Roof

Offering superior wind resistance for properties in exposed locations, hip roofs distribute snow weight evenly across all load-bearing walls. We recommend these for homes in wind-prone areas like the Palmer Divide.

Flat Roof

Common in commercial buildings throughout Denver and Boulder, modern flat roof systems use advanced membranes designed for thermal cycling and ponding water resistance. Our commercial division specializes in these low-slope applications.

Gambrel Roof

This traditional barn-style roof maximizes upper floor space while efficiently shedding snow and rain. We’ve restored many historic gambrel roofs across Colorado’s mountain communities and agricultural properties.

Roof Installation Cost & Financing

Roof installation costs in Colorado typically range from $8,500 to $35,000, depending on your home’s size, chosen materials, roof complexity, and local factors like accessibility and permit requirements. Here’s what affects your investment:

Size matters – Average Colorado homes (2,200-2,800 sq ft) with simple gable roofs start around $12,000 for quality asphalt shingles. Larger homes or those with multiple levels, dormers, or steep pitches require additional labor and materials.

Material selection drives the biggest cost variable. While asphalt shingles offer excellent value, upgrading to metal or tile roofing can double or triple material costs—but remember, these premium options often last 2-3 times longer, making cost-per-year very competitive.

Colorado-specific factors include enhanced ice/water barriers for snow country, additional ventilation for altitude, and impact-resistant materials for hail zones. These upgrades typically add $1,500-3,000 but prevent thousands in future damage.
