Roofing in Ward, CO
There are 68 housing units in Ward. Not 68 houses on one street — 68 in the whole town, per the Census Bureau's 2019 to 2023 estimates. Fifty-seven percent of them predate 1939, 90 percent are owner-occupied, and not one is connected to a natural gas main. Fifty-three percent run on bottled tank gas and 45 percent burn wood as their primary heat.
That fuel mix decides the roof. Wood heat means a hot flue standing in the middle of a plane that holds snow for months, so crickets on the uphill side, counterflashing cut into whatever the chimney is actually built of, and honest clearance around the pipe are not details we add at the end. They are the reason the roof leaks or does not.
Snow load here is a structural question before it is a roofing one. Boulder County does not publish a single ground snow number; its amendments delete the standard section and send the building official to the county's own snow load map, drawn from the Structural Engineers Association of Colorado's 2016 design loads.
The bands on that map run from 35 pounds per square foot out on the plains to 130 in the high country, and Ward sits in the mountain bands, far above anything the plains towns are designed to.
It is not a number to estimate from a regional average, and we do not quote a covering here until the building official has given us the one that applies to your parcel.
The county also flags itself a special wind region, on the basis of local records of unusual wind conditions, and requires exposure category to be determined site by site rather than assumed. Ward is exactly the kind of place that provision exists for. Before we quote a covering we check the framing and what is already sitting on it.
What we build up here is usually a vented over-roof or an unvented assembly with foam against the deck, rather than pretending a standard vented attic detail travels this far up the canyon. Where a profiled covering leaves a gap between panel and deck, section R390.4.1.1 requires that space to be closed against flame and embers — firestopped with noncombustible material, capped with an ASTM D3909 sheet, or built as a listed Class A assembly.
The wildfire rules apply in full and the roof trigger is 25 percent. Replace a quarter of the surface and the entire covering has to meet the Class A standard for new construction. Gutters, downspouts and any gutter guard must be noncombustible, and the gutter has to have an approved means of keeping needles out.
Logistics are the other half of the price. Lefthand Canyon Drive and the road toward Brainard Lake are what the material and the dumpster have to travel, the season is short, and we schedule around that instead of promising around it. Call and we will tell you plainly whether your roof is worth the trip this year or next.

Roofing work we do in Ward, CO
Boulder Roof Pros covers the same range of work in Ward that we do in Boulder — nothing is carved out because the address is a few miles up the road:
- Hail Damage Roof Repair — Hail damage roof repair in Boulder has a timing problem. A summer hailstorm bruises a shingle mat without opening it, the roof looks fine from the driveway all autumn, and the leak arrives five months later during the first long melt.
- Wind Damage Roof Repair — Wind damage roof repair in Boulder deals with a wind almost nowhere else on the plains gets. Downslope windstorms come over the Front Range in winter, accelerate off the foothills, and hit the west side of town hard enough to strip roofs in long strips rather than isolated patches.
- Roof Inspections — A roof inspection in Boulder that never opens the attic hatch is half an inspection. Most of what shortens a roof at this elevation happens on the underside of the deck, where nothing is visible from a ladder or a drone photograph.
- Asphalt Shingle Roofing — Asphalt shingle roofing is the right default for most Boulder houses, and it is also the covering most often installed wrong for this climate. The shingle itself is rarely the variable that matters.
- Metal Roofing — Metal roofing earns its price in Boulder County for one reason ahead of all the others: a standing-seam roof sheds snow instead of holding it, which removes both the load and much of the melt-refreeze cycle that wrecks roofs at the eave. It also creates a hazard the brochure skips.
- Tile Roofing — Tile roofing is the one product we usually recommend against on Boulder houses, and we would rather say so before you spend the money than manage the consequences with you for the next twenty years. There are two reasons.

About Ward, CO — and why local matters here
Ward sits in Boulder County with a population of roughly 128, close enough to Boulder that crews move between the two constantly. Local landmarks and corridors residents know well include Lefthand Canyon Drive, the Brainard Lake road.
Local knowledge is not a marketing line here. Ward properties share soil, weather, permit rules and construction eras with the rest of Boulder County, and a roofing contractor who works the area weekly already knows what fails locally and what holds up. That is the difference between a bid and an accurate bid.
