  • Roof Replacement in BoulderRoof replacement in Boulder is an assembly decision, not a shingle decision. A new covering laid over a plugged soffit and a leaking ceiling plane will build its first ice dam by February, so the deck, the eave protection, the intake and the exhaust get priced as one scope.
  • Roof Leak Repair in BoulderRoof leak repair in Boulder starts with a question most contractors skip: is this water from outside, or is it coming out of your own house? Between November and April, a good share of the ceiling stains we are called about were never rain at all.
  • Storm Damage Roof Restoration in BoulderStorm damage roof restoration in Boulder is mostly a spring job, not a summer one. The heaviest storms on this stretch of the Front Range arrive in March and April as wet upslope snow, and wet snow weighs several times what a dry January storm puts on the same roof.
  • Hail Damage Roof Repair in BoulderHail 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 in BoulderWind 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.
