Residential Roof Replacement
Sometimes you might find that either your roof is too old and that a repair simply won’t do the job. In this case a roof replacement should be considered. Now the reason why most people would rather go with a repair instead of a replacement is pretty clear… roof replacements can get pretty pricey and if a homeowners believe that they can skate by with just a repair, then that’s what they will choose. For the most part, roofs can last anywhere from 20-30 years depending on the type of materials you have installed and how often it is checked for any weather damage.
One tried and true method when looking for damage is the watermelon test. The next time you are up on your roof, start tapping on a few shingles that look questionable. If any of them have a hallow sound, then your roof may need to be replaced. Another way to tell if your roof needs replacing is if 20% or more of your shingles are either broken, missing. You could replace them yourself but it could cost more in the long run as the remaining shingles could deteriorate.

Our Number One Priority Is Customer Service
Commercial Roof Repair
It can be scary when consider roof repair on your commercial building. When considering a new installment, it’s important to note that, in most cases, roofing problems can be avoided while others come about from general wear and tear. Choosing quality roofing companies Colorado Springs contractors is extremely important to help you sidestep the pitfalls that may come your way so that you can get your project completed on time.
For many years, businesses had to decide to go with the quick installation and peace of mind that getting a metal roof provides… and since replacement and repair for metal roofs can be a fairly direct task, it is still just as important when choosing your Colorado Springs commercial roofer for the project. Since your time is valuable to you, you need a commercial roofing contractor who has metal roofing repair experience. It’s just as important for you to check their references to verify their quality of work and to make sure they can fish the job on time and within the budget they quote to you in their bid.
Commercial Roof Replacement
Commercial roofs can last up to 50 years when properly installed and constructed with the best materials. However, just like anything else, the older it gets the more likely it is that your roof will start showing signs that it needs to be replaced. If this is the case, you may want to contact a few roofing companies in Colorado to see if they will do an inspection for any damage.
If the metal screw holes have expanded, then then may be letting in water and causing damage to the decking underneath. Also, if the paneling expands, then it can easily fall off. Fortunately, this may not happen for decades, however as a roof approaches the end of its lifespan, then it would be a good idea to have them inspected more often.
As the building owner, you will want to thoroughly check out the company you want to use before you hire them. You want a company with a track record and references. Call up the references to verify if your building is similar to theirs and if the company was professional. If the company has stellar reviews but their work has mostly been on residential homes, then they might not be for you. You also want a company that makes safety paramount by asking the beforehand if they abide by OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) guidelines.
Hail Damage
Hail causes upwards of $1 Billion worth of property and crop damage every year. It’s not out of the ordinary for hail stones to reach 3 in or more in diameter and can hit the ground at a speed of 100 mph. In cases of severe hailstorms, your personally safety could be at risk. If a hailstorm should pass over your home, stay inside, get low to the floor and don’t go near windows or doors.
Basically, hail is frozen precipitation. They’re shaped like small, bearing-shaped ice balls. The way they are formed is that if the part of a storm cell has is warm and the upper part has absolute freezing air, then hail is developed inside the clouds. As rain reaches the sub-zero areas, they will freeze into small ice crystals called hail. They can be as small as a pea to as big as a baseball.
If you suspect your roof has hail damage, you could get up on top of your home and look for little dings in your shingles. If you see several withing a square foot area, then you should start calling a few Colorado Springs roofers and start getting estimates.
Wind Damage
When really bad weather hits, you usually don’t have time to take cover; much less have enough time to protect your property against wind dame. If you’re prepared ahead of time, then you’ll be ready for it. When the storm is at your door, the only thing you can think of is to stay safe.
Windstorms can really beat up your shingles. The damage may not come from wind getting under your shingle, but from the vacuum above your roof. Have you ever seen a tornado approach a house and rip the roof off? Well this is the same thing with shingles, just on a smaller scale. The first thing that happens is that wind will break your shingle’s adhesive seal and once this happens, your shingle can be ripped completely off. You want to check your roof often since you may not notice it being blown off. If you do notice shingles missing, you may want to consider putting a tarp over the area as soon as possible so that you can stop any further damage.
If you’re looking the best roof repair Colorado Springs has to offer, The Roof Troop is here to help.
Snow Damage
Snow damage isn’t the easiest to see. In fact, unless it’s a lot of snow or ice, most people aren’t aware their roof has damage. Homeowners think that because snow is light and fluffy there can’t possibly be damage, unfortunately that’s not so. Water can be dangerous for a roof no matter what form it’s in.
As temperatures fluctuate, this melting and refreezing is absolutely brutal your roof. The water will melt into the cracks and holes in your roof, then expand as it refreezes causing the holes and rips to become even bigger. Imagine this happening over and over during the winter and getting broad-sided by a huge leak as the temperatures warm up
But there is a silver lining. A roof in good condition can support about 20lbs of snow…that’s roughly 4 feet, and that only happens every once in a blue moon. However, when we get hit with those occasional mega storms it would be in your best interest to check for a sagging roofline…this could be an indication of the type of damage that roofing companies in Colorado like The Roof Troop should take a look at.

Asphalt Shingle Roofs
Did you know there are 3 different types of asphalt shingles? If not, you’ve come to the right place.
Asphalt shingle roofs are the most common choice for residential homes. Now while your contactor can provide insight… you’re the one that has to live with it for the next20-30 years. So, you need to understand all the options before deciding. Even if your Colorado Springs roofers swear by one brand or style in particular…the choice is yours.
As you get further along in your decision, you might become overwhelmed but don’t worry, we’re here to help! Asphalt shingles are good for just about any home. They are widely known as the benchmark of residential roofing because they are durable and affordable. They also match up with any homes style almost perfectly!
There are 3 types of asphalt shingles on the market: 3-tab shingles, dimensional shingles, and luxury shingles.
Even though all three of these are made from similar materials, they aren’t exactly the same. Let’s go ahead and break it down to find out what roofing shingles are the best for you!
Commercial Roofs
Just about every commercial roof you come across will be different from one to the next. After all, different owners have different needs. The type of commercial roof you ultimately choose for your company in Colorado Springs will play an important role for the safety of your building as well and the longevity of the roof. Things that should be considered when choosing what type of commercial roof to be built would be weather and animals…especially the bears. All those things considered will have a huge impact on your roof’s lifespan.
To help give you some insight into building a commercial grade roof, we are going to review a few of the common builds and the materials used to bring them to life.
Most commercial roofs will be flat or very low sloped, this means that the material list will be limited. The six most common commercial roof builds in Colorado Springs are:
- Green Roofing Systems
- Thermoplastic Roofs
- Thermoset Roofs
- Modified Bitumen Roofing
- Metal Roofing
- Built Up Roofing
Flat Roofs
Buildings that have flat roofs can run into a rough patch mainly because it wasn’t installed right the first time. The most likely reason is because the contractors who worked on it initially were inexperienced and weren’t the best people for the job. This is unfortunate because there are many things that go into building a proper flat roof.
We have come across absolutely stellar flat roof work by other roofers Colorado Springs has available, however the need for the building may have changed. When needs change the roof needs to change. For example, a butcher shop with frozen meat hanging up everywhere shouldn’t have the same type of roof as a restaurant serving hot food.
Whatever your specific case may be, it’s important to understand how your roof is built when it comes to maintenance, repairs, and replacements. We offer you some great insight into the best flat roofing materials on the market and whether or not you should install them.
So which is best?
Honestly this is one of the most difficult questions to answer. Although, there are many different commercial buildings with identical construction in the same areas, the businesses operating in those building vary widely. Flat roofing is certainly not a one size fits all approach. What goes on underneath determines the type of roof is installed… all reputable roofers Colorado Springs employs will know this. Since budget is always a factor, our team will be honest about your roofing needs. If we aren’t the best fit for each other, no worries!
