Roof Replacement

A roof at the end of its life doesn’t always announce itself with a leak. In the Denver metro, the more common signs are granules collecting in gutters, shingles that have lost their seal after years of freeze-thaw cycles, and hail bruising that slowly opens the mat to UV damage. When repairs stop making financial sense, a full replacement resets the clock on the most important weather barrier your home has.

What a Ridgeline replacement includes

Every replacement is a complete system, not just new shingles. We tear off down to the decking, replace any soft or delaminated sheathing, and rebuild from there: ice and water shield at the eaves and valleys, synthetic underlayment across the field, new drip edge, pipe boots, and step flashing at every wall. Ridge vents are sized to actually move air through the attic — undersized ventilation is the quiet killer of shingle warranties.

For materials, most of our customers choose architectural asphalt shingles rated Class 3 or Class 4 for impact resistance — an upgrade that many Colorado insurers reward with a premium discount. We also install standing-seam metal and concrete tile where the structure and budget call for it.

Timing and disruption

A typical single-family home in Denver takes one to two days: tear-off and dry-in on day one, shingle installation and cleanup on day two. We protect landscaping with tarps and plywood, run magnetic sweeps for nails at the end of every workday, and haul all debris the same week.

What it costs

Replacement pricing depends on roof size, pitch, layers to remove, decking condition, and material choice. As a rule of thumb, an asphalt shingle replacement on a typical Denver home runs from the low five figures; metal roughly doubles that. Your quote itemizes every component so you can compare bids line by line — and if an insurance claim is involved, we work directly from the adjuster’s scope.
