ROOFING COLORADO SPRINGS

Hail damage assessment requires professional evaluation. Look for: granule loss (exposed asphalt), bruised shingles (soft spots when pressed), cracked shingles, or missing shingles. In Colorado Springs, even 0.5" hail can cause significant damage. Our certified inspectors use specialized tools to detect hidden damage that may not be visible from the ground.

Costs vary based on material and roof complexity: Architectural asphalt shingles: $3.50-6.00 per square foot (installed). Standing-seam metal: $8.00-12.00 per square foot. Average 2,000 sq ft home: $7,000-24,000 total. Factors include: roof pitch, accessibility, existing damage, and material upgrades. We provide detailed, line-item estimates with no hidden costs.

Most residential projects complete in 1-3 days. Day 1: Tear-off and deck inspection. Day 2: Underlayment and shingle installation. Day 3: Flashing, cleanup, and final inspection. Weather permitting, we work efficiently to minimize disruption. Larger homes or complex roofs may take 4-5 days. We coordinate with Colorado Springs building permits and HOA requirements.

Metal roofs excel in Colorado Springs' challenging climate. Hail resistance: Class 4 impact rating vs. Class 3 for premium asphalt. Thermal performance: 85-95% solar reflectance reduces attic temperatures by 15-20°F. Longevity: 40-70 years vs. 20-30 for asphalt. Energy savings: 10-25% reduction in cooling costs. While 2-3x the initial cost, metal roofs often pay for themselves through energy savings and extended lifespan.

Ice dams require immediate attention to prevent water damage. Immediate action: Remove snow from roof edges (safely) and create channels for water drainage. Long-term solution: Install ice & water shield along eaves, improve attic ventilation, and add proper insulation. Our Colorado Springs team specializes in ice dam prevention using self-sealing underlayment and ventilation optimization. Prevention is key - we recommend annual inspections before winter.
