Frequently Asked Questions

Often, yes. Hail bruises the asphalt mat and knocks the protective granules loose long before you'll spot a leak from the driveway, and that hidden damage shortens your roof's life and can fail an inspection later. We fly a drone over every slope, valley, and flashing point and hand you a same-day photo report so you can see exactly what's up there. The inspection is free, and you keep the report even if you never hire us.

No, we handle the claim end to end. Our drone documentation is built to be the evidence an adjuster needs, and we'll meet your adjuster up on the roof so nothing legitimate gets missed or denied. Once the claim is approved we bill your carrier directly, so in most cases the only money you pay out of pocket is your deductible. We've been doing this on Front Range storm claims since 2009 and know how Denver-area carriers handle hail.

Both are good Front Range roofs - it comes down to budget and how long you plan to stay. Architectural asphalt shingles are the practical choice for most homes: HOA-approved color options, a great look, and impact-rated Class 4 versions that can lower your insurance premium. Standing-seam metal costs more up front but sheds hail and heavy wet snow with no exposed fasteners to back out, and it's the longest-lasting option we install. We'll walk you through real numbers for your specific roof before you decide - no pressure either way.

Most Denver-area homes are a one-to-two-day job once we're on site. We tear off to the deck, replace any rotted plywood we find, lay synthetic underlayment and ice-and-water shield, then install your shingles or metal and finish the flashing, gutters, and ventilation. Bigger or steeper roofs run a little longer. The part that varies most is the city permit, which can add a few days before we start - we pull it for you and schedule around it.

Call our 24-hour storm line at (303) 555-0118 - a real person answers, not an answering service. When a hail line rolls through we dispatch a local crew with tarps and ladders the same day, day or night, to stop the water before it ruins your drywall and insulation. Once the roof is dry and safe, we come back to document the damage and start the claim. Emergency tarping is the first thing we do, every time.

Every full replacement comes with our 25-year workmanship warranty in writing - if a leak ever traces back to how we installed your roof, we come back and fix it at no cost to you. That's on top of the manufacturer's shingle warranty we can offer as a GAF Master Elite contractor. And yes, the workmanship warranty transfers to the next owner when you sell, which is a genuine selling point on a Front Range home.

Usually, yes. Between direct insurance billing and financing, most homeowners are out of pocket only for their deductible. If you'd rather spread out an upgrade or a non-claim replacement, we offer financing with no payments for 90 days and 0% APR terms for those who qualify - and because most claims are approved before the first payment is even due, the timing tends to work out. Your project manager can lay out current rates before you commit.

We work hard not to. We protect the lawn, plants, and AC unit before the tear-off starts, haul off the old roof the same day, and finish with a magnetic nail sweep across the yard and driveway - the part our customers with kids and dogs appreciate most. We also replace step flashing, seamless gutters, and ventilation as part of the job so the finished roof is buttoned up and the site is left cleaner than we found it.
