FAQs
How can I tell if my roof has missing shingles after a storm in Coalmont?
Look for visible gaps, exposed felt or plywood, and sections of different color where shingles have blown away. You may also find torn or curled shingles lying in the yard. Indoors, check ceilings and attic rafters for wet spots or daylight showing through. Because Coalmont often experiences high winds and hail, even a few missing shingles can escalate to leaks quickly, so schedule a professional inspection if you notice any of these signs.
Why is it important to replace missing shingles right away?
Shingles work together as a waterproof system. When even one is missing, wind-driven rain can penetrate the underlayment, saturate the decking, and cause leaks, mold, and structural rot. In Coalmont’s freeze-thaw climate, trapped moisture can also expand into ice and widen gaps. Repairing the affected area promptly saves you from far costlier deck replacement or interior repairs down the road.
Will my homeowner’s insurance pay for storm-related shingle damage?
Most standard policies in Colorado cover sudden, accidental losses caused by wind, hail, or falling debris—three common threats in Coalmont storms. Coverage generally includes the cost to remove damaged materials, install new shingles, and address related water damage. You’ll still be responsible for your deductible, and insurers expect timely filing—usually within 6–12 months of the event—so contact both your roofer and insurance adjuster as soon as you notice damage.
What is your storm-damage restoration process?
1) Free inspection: We document all missing or compromised shingles, flashing, vents, and gutters with photos and a written report. 2) Temporary protection: If active leaks exist, we install tarps to prevent interior damage. 3) Claim assistance: We meet your adjuster on-site to ensure nothing is overlooked in the estimate. 4) Material matching: We source shingles that meet or exceed current code and blend with your existing roof color. 5) Repair or replacement: Our certified crew removes damaged sections, checks decking integrity, installs new underlayment, shingles, and proper flashing. 6) Final quality check & cleanup: We magnet-sweep for nails and provide warranty documentation.
How long does a typical missing-shingle repair take in Coalmont?
For small areas (a few bundles of shingles), repairs usually take one half-day to a full day, including tear-off, decking inspection, and installation. Larger wind swaths or hail-compromised slopes may take 1–3 days. Permits in Jackson County are straightforward, and we schedule work around Coalmont’s afternoon thunderstorm patterns to minimize weather delays.
Can you match new shingles to the exact color and style of my existing roof?
Yes. We maintain relationships with major manufacturers such as Owens Corning, GAF, and TAMKO, making it easier to source discontinued or special-order colors. When an exact match isn’t available, we can replace entire sections along natural breaks (ridges or valleys) so color variation is undetectable from the ground. We’ll show you physical samples before ordering to ensure you’re satisfied with the blend.
