A hailstorm rolls across central Denver on a June afternoon, and by the weekend there are roofing trucks on half the blocks around you. Someone knocks on your door, points at your roof and says you need a new one. You might. You might not. Either way, you want a roofing company in Cherry Creek that will get up there, show you what they found and let you make the call.
That’s a fair thing to want. A roof is a big expense, most of the damage can’t be seen from the sidewalk, and after every big storm a wave of out-of-town crews shows up and leaves just as fast. You should get straight answers from people who’ll still answer the phone next year.
APC Roofing is a GAF Certified contractor, licensed and insured, and in business since 2017. Your inspection and estimate are free. Call 720-902-6940 and we’ll set a time to come look.
What Denver weather does to a Cherry Creek roof
Hail is the big one. The Front Range sees some of the most frequent hail in the country, and a single storm can bruise shingles, crack tile, dent metal and punch small holes in the flat sections over porches and garages. Bruised shingles often look fine from the ground. Up close, the granules are knocked loose and the mat underneath is cracked, and that’s where leaks start a season or two later.
Winter works more slowly. Snow melts on a sunny afternoon, refreezes at the eaves overnight and pries at every gap it finds. A mile up, the sun is stronger too, so shingles and sealants dry out and crack faster than they would at sea level. Add the big daily temperature swings Denver is known for and the roof is expanding and shrinking all year long.
Strong winds round it out. Gusts lift shingle tabs, loosen ridge caps and work at the metal flashing along chimneys and walls.
How to choose a roofing company in Cherry Creek
After a storm, you’ll have plenty of options. A few questions sort them out quickly:
- Can they show you the damage? Ask for photos from the roof, with the problem areas marked. If someone can’t show you, don’t sign.
- Are they insured, and will they put it in writing? Ask for proof of insurance and any local licensing before work starts.
- Is the estimate written and itemized? A number scribbled on a business card isn’t an estimate.
- What do they say about your deductible? Be wary of anyone who offers to waive or cover your deductible. That’s a red flag, not a favor.
- Will they be around later? Look for a contractor with a real office and a track record you can check.

Hail damage and your insurance claim
If a storm damaged your roof, here’s how it works. 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. Trust matters, especially right after a storm.
How it works
- Book your free inspection. Call or request a time online. We look at the whole roof, gutters and flashing included, not just the spot you’re worried about.
- Get a clear, honest assessment and estimate. You’ll see photos of what we found, hear whether it’s a repair or a replacement, and get it in writing. Financing is available through Aqua Finance, Fortifi, Hearth and Home Run Finance if you’d like to spread out the cost.
- Your roof gets done and the site gets cleaned up. Many residential projects are finished in a single day, and you’ll get a realistic timeline with your estimate.
Waiting on hail damage rarely saves anything. Cracked shingles let in a little water at a time, and by the time a ceiling stain shows up, the decking underneath may need work too.
Questions Cherry Creek homeowners ask
Do you charge for a roof inspection in Cherry Creek?
No. The inspection and the estimate are free, and you’re under no obligation to hire us.
How do I know if hail damaged my roof?
Dented gutters, downspouts and window screens are good clues from the ground. On the roof itself, hail leaves dark spots where granules were knocked off, and sometimes cracks you can only find by hand. A roofer on the roof is the only way to know for sure.
Should I repair or replace my roof after a hailstorm?
That comes down to how widespread the damage is and how old the roof was before the storm. Scattered damage on a younger roof can often be repaired. Widespread bruising usually means replacement. You’ll get photos either way, so you can see the reasoning.
Do you work on commercial buildings in Cherry Creek too?
Yes. We work on flat and low-slope commercial roofs as well as metal roofs on business buildings.
