When to Schedule a Roof Inspection in Northern Colorado
We recommend Northern Colorado homeowners schedule professional roof inspections:
After Severe Weather Events
Following any significant hailstorm, high wind event, or unusually heavy snow, particularly in high-risk areas like Windsor, Greeley, and Severance.
Seasonally
At least once yearly, ideally in spring after winter storms or in fall before winter weather arrives.
Before Home Purchase
Before finalizing the purchase of any home in Northern Colorado to understand exactly what you’re buying.
Before Listing Your Home
Before putting your home on the market to address any issues proactively and strengthen your negotiating position.
When Noticing Potential Issues
If you observe missing shingles, granule loss in gutters, water stains on ceilings, or increasing energy bills that might indicate roof problems.
Common Issues We Identify in Northern Colorado
Our experienced inspectors are familiar with the unique challenges Northern Colorado roofs face, including:
Hail Impact Damage
Often subtle but significant damage from Northern Colorado's frequent hailstorms, including granule loss, shingle bruising, and impact marks.
Wind Damage
Lifted, creased, or missing shingles from our region's strong winds, particularly along ridges and edges.
Ice Dam Effects
Damage from winter ice dams common in our climate, including water intrusion at eaves and compromised shingle integrity.
Improper Ventilation
Inadequate attic ventilation leading to premature shingle aging, condensation issues, and energy inefficiency.
Flashing Failures
Deteriorated or improperly installed flashing around chimneys, vents, and valleys – a major source of leaks in our region.
Installation Defects
Improper installation techniques that compromise roof performance, often from previous contractors unfamiliar with Northern Colorado requirements.
