Asphalt shingles remain a top choice for Denver homes due to their versatility and performance, yet the region’s intense sunlight, frequent hail, high winds, heavy snow, and thermal swings cause curling, cracking, granule loss, bruising, or widespread failure over time.
When spot repairs no longer suffice, full shingle replacement restores strong defense against Colorado’s extremes, improves energy efficiency, and refreshes curb appeal. We serve residential properties in Denver, Aurora, Lakewood, Littleton, Centennial, Arvada, Westminster, Thornton, Highlands Ranch, Parker, and surrounding communities within a 50-mile radius.
Our shingle replacement services are dedicated exclusively to residential homes—single-family residences, townhouses, and condominiums—installing high-quality, impact-resistant shingles built for Front Range weather demands.
Key Advantages of Shingle Replacement
Superior Hail and Wind Protection
New impact-rated shingles and enhanced installation techniques significantly boost resistance to golf-ball-sized hail and gusty winds common along the corridor.
Optimized Energy and Insulation Performance
Reflective granules and better attic sealing help moderate summer heat and reduce winter ice dam risks, addressing Denver’s temperature extremes.
Updated Home Exterior
A fresh shingle roof provides a clean, modern look that enhances property appeal in vibrant neighborhoods from historic Capitol Hill to growing suburbs.
Dependable Long-Term Coverage
Premium materials paired with expert workmanship and robust warranties deliver reliable shelter through years of unpredictable mountain-influenced weather.
Essential Components Included
Roof Decking Assessment
Decking is evaluated and repaired or replaced to support heavy snow loads without deflection.
Premium Underlayment
Synthetic underlayment plus ice-and-water shield in eaves and valleys guard against wind-driven rain and freeze-thaw leaks.
Drip Edge & Flashing
Durable metal edges and custom flashing create watertight transitions around penetrations.
High-Performance Shingles
Impact-resistant architectural or designer shingles are applied for strength and aesthetic variety.
Starter & Ridge Systems
Specialized starters and capped ridges seal edges against uplift and snow infiltration.
Ventilation Upgrades
Ridge and soffit vents ensure balanced airflow to combat heat buildup and moisture.

We assess your current roof, discuss hail history, energy goals, style preferences, and review shingle samples tailored to Denver’s climate and architectural trends.
Permitting & Logistics
We secure required permits from local authorities and coordinate material delivery for efficient project timing.

Controlled Tear-Off
Old shingles and underlayment are removed down to the decking, with debris contained and hauled away promptly.
Decking & Underlayment Preparation
Damaged decking is replaced, followed by full synthetic underlayment and ice-and-water shield application in critical zones.
Shingle Installation
Drip edges, starters, and flashing go on first, then shingles are laid with high-wind nailing schedules for maximum hold against gusts.
Final Cleanup & Inspection
Magnetic sweeps collect nails, debris is removed, and the site is restored. We perform a detailed walkthrough with you, sharing warranty registration and care tips.
Frequently Asked Questions
When is full shingle replacement the right choice?
If hail bruising is widespread, shingles are curling/cracking extensively, leaks persist, or the roof is 20+ years old facing Colorado extremes, replacement often makes more sense than ongoing patches. We’ll provide a clear evaluation!
How long does shingle replacement take in Denver?
Most projects wrap in 3–5 days, though we monitor weather closely to avoid hail or snow interruptions.
Will the work be disruptive or messy?
We schedule normal daytime hours, use heavy tarps, and clean daily. Final magnetic sweeps ensure no nails remain—customers frequently note how tidy we leave everything.
What shingles perform best here?
Class 4 impact-resistant architectural shingles lead for hail defense and insurance discounts, with excellent wind ratings. We also offer premium designer lines for enhanced style—happy to show samples!
Can new shingles help with insurance rates or ice dams?
Yes—many Colorado insurers offer substantial discounts for impact-rated roofs. Proper underlayment and ventilation also greatly reduce ice dam formation.
What warranties are included?
Full manufacturer coverage (typically 30–50 years or lifetime) plus our workmanship warranty—we handle all registration.
Do you manage permits and HOA rules?
Absolutely—we handle permitting and assist with HOA color/style approvals common in planned communities.
Do you work throughout the Denver metro area?
We’re pleased to! We serve residential homes within 50 miles, including Aurora, Lakewood, Littleton, Centennial, Arvada, Westminster, Thornton, Highlands Ranch, Parker, and nearby areas.
