Trusted Contractors in Colorado Springs, Colorado
A significant portion of homes in Colorado Springs were built between 1955 and 1985 — a period when roofing materials and installation standards were different from today's code requirements. The original organic felt underlayment on these roofs is long past its service life. The galvanized steel flashing has typically corroded through at one or more points. The 3-tab shingles, if original, have exceeded their design life by a decade or more. We've inspected enough El Paso County homes from this era to know what we're likely to find — and what it means for the homeowner.
We've been working in Colorado Springs and the surrounding area long enough to have re-roofed homes we originally inspected years ago. That continuity is what local reputation looks like in practice.
At 41 years, the average Colorado Springs home in El Paso County is in the range where roofing decisions carry the most financial consequence. A replacement triggered by structural water damage costs 30–50% more than a planned replacement — because water damage adds decking repair, mold remediation, and sometimes framing work that a dry replacement doesn't require. El Paso County homeowners who plan ahead consistently spend less on total roofing cost over their ownership period.
