A hailstorm rolls across Denver for ten minutes, and the next morning there are dents in the gutters and granules on the driveway. Or the spring snow melts off and leaves a brown ring on the ceiling. You need a roofing contractor in Belcaro who will get on the roof, tell you what’s really going on and not push a full replacement if a repair will do.
That’s a reasonable thing to want, and after a big storm it can be surprisingly hard to find. Out-of-town crews show up in waves, everyone’s in a hurry and you’re left trying to figure out who to trust with one of the most expensive parts of your house.
APC Roofing has been in business since 2017. We’re a GAF Certified contractor, licensed and insured, and your roof inspection and estimate are free.
What Denver weather does to a Belcaro roof
Colorado is hard on roofs in its own way, and a few forces do most of the damage.
Hail. The Front Range sees some of the most frequent hail in the country, mostly in late spring and summer. Hail knocks the protective granules off shingles, cracks tile, dents metal and gutters, and can bruise a shingle badly enough to weaken it even when nothing looks broken from the ground.
Sun at altitude. Denver sits a mile up, and the UV is stronger here than at sea level. Over years, that sun dries out asphalt shingles and breaks down sealants and roof membranes faster than you’d expect.
Freeze and thaw. Water that gets into a small crack freezes overnight, expands and opens the crack a little wider. Repeat that through a Denver winter and minor damage grows.
Snow and wind. Heavy, wet spring snow puts weight on the roof and can back meltwater up under shingles at the eaves. Strong winds off the mountains can lift shingles and loosen flashing.
None of this means your roof is in trouble. It does mean a roof that’s been through several Denver storm seasons deserves a careful look.
Roofing services in Belcaro
We work on the roof types you’ll find across Denver homes and small buildings.
Roof repair and replacement
Missing shingles, a leak around a chimney, hail bruising across one slope: many problems can be repaired. When damage is widespread or the roof is near the end of its life, replacing it is the better use of your money. You’ll see photos and hear our reasoning either way.
Metal roofing
Standing-seam and other metal systems handle Colorado sun and snow well and shed snow quickly. Learn more about metal roofing in Belcaro.
Flat and low-slope roofing
Flat sections over porches, garages and additions need a membrane, not shingles. Hail, ponding water and freeze-thaw all hit low-slope roofs hard. See flat roofing in Belcaro.
Gutters
Gutters carry snowmelt and storm runoff away from your foundation and take a beating from hail. Read about gutters in Belcaro.
Commercial roofing
Repair, re-roof and new installs for small commercial buildings, including TPO, EPDM and other membrane systems. See commercial roofing in Belcaro.
We also install shingle and tile roofs. For the full list of what we do across the city, visit our Denver roofing page.
Hail damage and your insurance claim
Hail claims are common in Denver, and the process can feel confusing the first time. Here’s how it works with us. You file your own claim with your insurance company, and you pay your own deductible. We inspect the roof, document the damage with photos, give you a written estimate and work with your adjuster so the damage is clearly accounted for.
Be wary of anyone who offers to waive or cover your deductible, or who asks you to sign a contract before your roof has even been inspected. Trust matters, especially in the week after a storm.
How it works
- Book your free inspection. Call 720-902-6940 or request a free estimate online.
- Get a clear, honest assessment and estimate. We look at the whole roof, show you photos of what we find and tell you whether it needs repair or replacement. Financing is available through Aqua Finance, Fortifi, Hearth and Home Run Finance.
- Your roof gets done and the site gets cleaned up. Many residential roofs are finished in a single day, and the crew cleans up before leaving.
Hail damage you can’t see from the ground still lets water in over time. A bruised shingle can lose its granules and start leaking a season or two later, and by then the storm may be too far back to connect to a claim.
Questions Belcaro homeowners ask
How do I know if hail damaged my roof?
Dented gutters, downspouts or vents are a good clue, as are granules piling up at the downspouts. The roof itself usually needs a close inspection, because hail bruising is hard to spot from the ground.
Do you charge for a roof inspection?
No. The inspection and estimate are free, with no obligation.
Can my roof be repaired instead of replaced?
Often, yes. If the damage is limited to a few areas and the rest of the roof is sound, a repair usually makes sense. We’ll show you what we found before recommending anything.
What roofing materials hold up best to Denver hail?
Impact-resistant shingles and many metal roofs handle hail better than standard shingles. No roof is hail-proof, so we’ll talk through the trade-offs for your house.
