Roofing Contractors in Northglenn, Colorado

Roofing in Northglenn

Northglenn is one of the metro's classic post-war suburbs, developed largely through the late 1950s and 1960s as planned housing for Denver's growing workforce. That origin gives the city an unusually consistent housing stock — and an unusually consistent set of roofing issues.

Most of Northglenn's original homes are modest single-storey ranches with simple roof geometry. That is good news in some respects: straightforward roofs are quicker and cheaper to work on than complex ones. The complication is age. These roofs have been replaced several times over, and what lies beneath varies considerably depending on how carefully previous work was done.

What affects roofs in Northglenn

The northern I-25 corridor through Northglenn, Thornton and Westminster has taken repeated significant hail, and Northglenn's dense, uniform housing means storms produce concentrated waves of claims. When a hail track crosses the city, a great many near-identical roofs are damaged at the same time and local contractor capacity is immediately stretched.

The age of the housing creates specific issues at tear-off. Homes of this era frequently have plank decking rather than modern sheet sheathing, ventilation systems that do not meet current standards, and sometimes multiple layers of previous roofing that were never fully removed. Each of those can expand the scope of a job once work begins, so a contractor who inspects thoroughly beforehand gives you a more honest number.

Ventilation in particular is worth raising. Post-war ranch homes commonly have exhaust vents with little or no soffit intake, which leaves the attic running hot in summer and contributes to ice damming in winter. A replacement is the right moment to correct that rather than reinstalling the same deficiency under new shingles.
