Roofing help in Denver
Denver roofs take some of the most frequent hail in the country, along with intense high-altitude sun and snow that can arrive from September through May. Housing runs from 1890s Victorians and Denver Squares in Capitol Hill and Highland to postwar ranches in Harvey Park and new construction in Central Park and Green Valley Ranch.

Denver homes and their roofs
Older central neighborhoods have steep roofs with dormers, masonry chimneys and sometimes slate or several shingle layers. Postwar ranches have long, low roofs that take hail across wide slopes. Newer east-side homes have architectural shingles that are now being replaced after hail claims.
Hail and Class 4 roofs
Hail claims are a fact of life in Denver. Many owners choose Class 4 impact-resistant shingles at replacement, and Colorado insurers often discount them.
Sun at altitude
At over 5,000 feet, ultraviolet light breaks down shingles, sealants and pipe boots faster than at sea level. Expect to replace boots and reseal flashing more often.
Snow and ice dams
Spring and fall snowstorms are heavy and wet, and freeze-thaw cycles cause ice dams on older homes with little insulation.
