Roofing help in Colorado Springs
Colorado Springs roofs face frequent hail, strong downslope winds off Pikes Peak, heavy spring snow and serious wildfire risk along the foothills, where the Waldo Canyon fire in 2012 and the Black Forest fire in 2013 destroyed hundreds of homes. Housing ranges from Victorian homes in the Old North End to large newer subdivisions on the north and east sides.

Colorado Springs homes and their roofs
Foothill neighborhoods such as Mountain Shadows, Rockrimmon and the Broadmoor area sit at the wildland edge on sloped lots. North and east-side subdivisions built since the 1990s have architectural shingles frequently replaced after hail.
Wildfire on the west side
Homes along the foothills benefit from Class A roofing and ember-resistant vents. After Waldo Canyon, many rebuilt homes in Mountain Shadows used fire-resistant roofing.
Hail
Colorado Springs sees frequent damaging hail. Hail damage inspections and Class 4 shingles are common.
Downslope winds
Strong winds off the mountains lift shingle edges and ridge caps; correct nailing and starter strips matter.
