What Roofing Services Cover
Roofing services include roof repair, roof replacement, storm damage restoration, and commercial roofing. For Denver homeowners, a typical job starts with a full inspection of the roof deck, underlayment, and flashing. We check for rot, decay, sag, and granule loss—common after our hailstorms with marble-sized hail. Then we lay out a plan: tear-off, recover, or overlay.
A tear-off removes the old shingles down to the deck. A recover or overlay leaves the existing layer in place, saving time and material. We use self-adhered ice and water shield at the eaves and valleys, ring-shank nails for the field course, and a starter course along the rake. Staggered courses keep water from wicking sideways. That detail matters at 5,280 feet, where intense UV radiation erodes asphalt faster than at sea level.
Materials range from architectural asphalt shingles to standing-seam metal. Asphalt is the budget choice. Metal handles hail better and reflects heat, which helps with energy efficiency. For flat commercial roofing, we install TPO or EPDM membranes that resist ponding water and UV degradation.
Expect a clear timeline before we start. Most residential repairs finish in a day. Full replacements take two to three days, depending on the square footage and the number of penetrations like skylights or vents. We pull permits, protect your landscaping, and clean up with magnets for stray nails.
How Roof Replacement Works
Roof replacement is a step-by-step process that starts with a detailed estimate. We measure your roof, note the pitch, and check the decking for rot or decay. If we find soft spots, we tell you before quoting. That job on a 1960s ranch in Washington Park taught us to always probe the deck first—water can wick along the sheathing for years without showing inside.
Day one begins with the tear-off. Crews strip the old shingles, underlayment, and flashing. Then we inspect the deck. If the wood is sound, we lay self-adhered ice and water shield in the valleys and along the eaves. That membrane stops ice dams from backing water up under the shingles. Next comes the starter course, then the field course. We use ring-shank nails—they grip the deck better than smooth shanks in Denver's temperature swings. Staggered courses keep the laps tight so water doesn't seep sideways.
Flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights gets replaced, not patched. That's where most leaks start. We hand-seal exposed fasteners and install new pipe boots. The ridge gets a ventilated cap to let heat escape the attic.
After the last nail, we walk the roof with a magnet, sweep the gutters, and haul away debris. A typical 2,000-square-foot home takes two days with a six-person crew. You get a walkthrough of the finished work and a warranty that covers both materials and labor.
When You Need Roofing Services
Roof repair is the right call when damage is localized—a few missing shingles, a small leak, or a single flashing failure. If the shingles are curling, cracking, or losing granules in bulk, that's end-of-life wear. At that point, a repair just delays the inevitable. Roof replacement costs more upfront but stops the cycle of repeated fixes.
Storm damage is the most common trigger in Denver. Hailstones the size of marbles hit roofs from Capitol Hill to Cherry Creek. The impact bruises asphalt shingles, knocking off granules. That erosion accelerates UV damage. Within a year, the matting dries and cracks. Water then seeps into the deck, wicking along the sheathing and rotting the wood. We've seen roofs that looked fine from the street but had 30% of the deck decayed underneath.
Sudden temperature swings also cause ice dams along the eaves. When snow melts and refreezes, it lifts the shingle edges. Water backs up under the field course. That's why we install ice and water shield—it's a self-adhered membrane that seals around the nails.
If you notice a drip inside, sagging rooflines, or daylight through the attic, don't wait. A small leak becomes a major repair fast. Call us for an inspection. We'll tell you honestly whether a fix or a full replacement makes sense.
