Hail and wind damage
Hail and wind damage roof repair and insurance claims.
Hail comes every year in Colorado Springs. When it hits your roof, you want a local roofer who shows up, documents the damage, and stays with you through the insurance claim. We've been doing it for over 40 years.
Look for these
Signs your roof took hail.
You don't have to climb up there. These are the clues you can spot from the ground, and we'll check the roof itself for free.
- Dents in gutters, vents, and downspouts
- Shingles with dark spots or missing granules
- Granules piling up where downspouts drain
- Cracked or broken tiles
- Dings on window screens, siding, or the AC unit
Wind damage
Signs your roof took wind.
Colorado wind can lift and tear shingles even when there is no hail.
- Missing shingles, or shingles in the yard
- Shingles lifted or curled at the edges
- Loose or bent flashing and ridge caps
- Gutters full of shingle pieces and granules
- New leaks or water stains after a storm

Questions
Straight answers.
Should I call my insurance company or a roofer first?
Many people call us first for a free inspection, so they know if there's real damage before they file. Either order works.
How soon should I file a claim?
Don't wait. Policies have deadlines, and damage can get worse. Call soon after the storm.
Do you work with my insurance company?
Yes. We work with insurance companies all the time and can meet your adjuster at the house.
Can you pay my deductible?
No. In Colorado a roofer can't pay or waive your deductible. If someone offers, that's a red flag.
Should I upgrade while insurance replaces my roof?
It can be a smart time to. Ask about impact-rated shingles or a Fortified roof.
