The last hailstorm left the cars on your block dented, and now you’re wondering what it did to the roof. Or you’ve noticed a water stain in the upstairs hallway, and you can’t tell if it’s a quick fix or the start of something bigger. You want a roofing contractor in Washington Park who will check the roof, explain what’s wrong in plain words and not sell you more than you need.
That’s a reasonable thing to want, and it’s not always easy to find. After a big Denver storm, crews from all over show up knocking on doors, and it’s hard to tell who’ll still be around next year. You deserve a roofer who takes the time to show you what’s going on.
APC Roofing is a GAF Certified contractor, licensed and insured, with an office in Denver. 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 Wash Park roof
Washington Park homes deal with the same Front Range weather as the rest of Denver, and it’s hard on roofs in a few specific ways.
Hail is the big one. Late-spring and summer storms can bruise asphalt shingles, crack older tile, dent metal vents and gutters, and puncture a flat roof that has gone brittle. A lot of hail damage can’t be seen from the sidewalk, and it may not leak until a season or two later.
Snow and freeze-thaw work on the roof all winter. Snow melts on a sunny afternoon, then refreezes at the colder roof edge overnight. That ice can push water back up under the shingles, and on a flat section over a porch or addition, melting snow can sit for days.
High-altitude sun dries out shingles, sealants and the rubber boots around plumbing pipes faster than at lower elevations. South- and west-facing slopes usually show it first.
Wind lifts shingle tabs and breaks the seal that holds them flat, which leaves them easy to tear off in the next storm.
Roofing services in Washington Park
Plenty of Denver homes have more than one kind of roof: a pitched main roof plus a flat section over a porch, garage or rear addition. Here’s what we work on:
- Flat roofing. Membrane roofs on porches, additions, garages and modern flat-roofed homes, where drains and seams decide whether it leaks.
- Metal roofing. Standing-seam and other metal systems that shed snow well and hold up to wind.
- Gutters. Seamless gutters sized for summer downpours and spring snowmelt.
- Commercial roofing. Low-slope roofs on shops, offices and mixed-use buildings.
- Shingle and tile roofs. Repair and replacement for the pitched roofs most homes have, from a few hail-damaged shingles to a full tear-off.
Repair or replacement?
This is usually the real question. A repair often makes sense when the damage is limited to one area, like a few torn shingles, a cracked pipe boot or a leaking flashing joint at the chimney, and the rest of the roof is in good shape.
Replacement starts to make sense when hail damage is spread across most of the roof, the shingles are curling or losing granules everywhere, or the same leak keeps coming back after repairs. You’ll get the answer with photos, so you can see the damage for yourself. If it’s a replacement, our roof replacement in Denver page explains what the job includes.
Storm damage and your insurance claim
If a storm damaged your roof, you file the claim with your insurance company and pay your deductible. We inspect the roof, document the damage with photos, provide a written estimate and work with your adjuster. Be wary of anyone who offers to waive or cover your deductible.
How it works
- Book your free inspection. Call 720-902-6940 or request a free estimate online.
- 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 a written estimate. Financing is available through Aqua Finance, Fortifi, Hearth and Home Run Finance.
- Your roof gets done and the site gets cleaned up. Many residential projects are finished in a single day.
A small leak rarely stays small. Water that gets past a cracked boot or lifted shingle can soak insulation and soften the roof deck for months before a stain shows up inside.
Questions from Washington Park homeowners
Do you charge for a roof inspection?
No. The inspection and estimate are free, and there’s no obligation.
My house has a flat roof section and a pitched one. Can you handle both?
Yes. Many homes have both, and the spot where the flat roof meets the pitched roof is a common place for leaks, so it’s worth checking them together.
How do I know if hail damaged my roof?
Look for dents in gutters and downspouts, granules piled at the downspout outlets and dings on vents or window screens. A roofer can confirm what you can’t see from the ground.
Are you local to Denver?
Yes. APC Roofing has a Denver office, and you can see everything we do across the city on our Denver roofing page.
