General Roofing Questions in Colorado

We recommend inspecting your roof at least twice a year—once in spring, once in fall. And anytime after a hailstorm or major snow event, it’s worth a look (or a professional inspection) to catch hidden damage early.
How long does a roof typically last in Colorado?
That depends on the material and your location. On average:
- Asphalt shingles: 20–30 years
- Metal roofs: 40–50 years
- Tile roofs: 50+ years with proper maintenance Colorado’s sun, wind, and hail can shorten lifespans, so regular upkeep matters.
What are signs my roof might need repairs?
Look out for:
- Leaks inside your home
- Missing, cracked, or curled shingles
- Sagging spots or soft areas
- Hail dents or wind-lifted shingles

Most small repairs can be wrapped up in a few hours. Bigger issues—like after a storm—may take 1–2 days, depending on the damage.
Can roof repairs extend the life of my roof?
Absolutely. Small issues become big ones fast in Colorado weather. Catching problems early can add years to your roof’s life.

If the damage was caused by a covered event like hail or wind, most homeowners’ policies will help cover repairs. We’ll work with your provider to make sure the process goes smoothly.
