Need roofing assistance in the Denver Metro area? Whether you’re looking for inspection, repair, or roof replacement services, it’s important to hire local roofers who understand the dynamics of the local climate and its impact on roofs.

However, with so many local Colorado roofers to choose from, it’s almost impossible to know who to trust with your roofing job. We’ve created this blog to help you learn how to sniff out the finest local Colorado roofers. You will also learn the many benefits of using local roofers in Castle Rock and Colorado for your roofing needs.

 

Shop for Local Roof Repair in Castle Rock, The Front Range, and Colorado.

At first glance, it would SEEM that the large conglomerate roofing companies who command a national presence know what they’re doing. If they didn’t, they wouldn’t be so successful. Right? Well, that is only partially true. There are many roofing companies out there who do a fine job.

However, consider talking to a local roofer who does local roof repair in Castle Rock and the Front Range. Make sure they live and work in Colorado, and the Castle Rock area. That roofer will have extensive experience with the weather here where you live vs. simply a general knowledge of roofing materials.

We know how our intense sunshine, extreme temperature swings, and of course, hail, affects roofs, siding and gutters, and is vital to picking out the correct materials to ensure the safety of your home. And that takes an intimate knowledge of living in our amazing state and the expertise of one of the best local roofing companies!

 

Local Roofers Save You Time and Money

When it comes to hiring a professional roofing contractor, using a local roofing company will save you time and money. Less time means less money, and because local roofing companies live and work in your community, travel is minimal, which allows more time for work to be done on your roof.

Local contractors often create prices that fit every type of budget, making it simple and convenient to address roofing issues on your own budget schedule. A local company will have a long-standing good rapport with town inspectors, as well as a working knowledge of standards, codes, and the permitting process — thereby saving you time and money! So, if you are doing work on your roof, ensure you use local roof repair in Castle Rock, or Colorado.

 

Personalized Service

Another benefit of using local roofers is that you’ll receive personalized service to suit your needs. In most cases, local roofing companies serve a fairly smaller customer base. In fact, there is a good chance that local roofing firms are owned by your next-door neighbor or have provided roofing services to your close family member or friend. Thus, local roofers can provide friendly, individualized service and an amazing customer experience, from initial consultation to installation.

 

Familiar With The Area

Local roofing companies are well-rounded in their knowledge of the communities and neighborhoods where they live and work. When you hire a local roofing company, you’re receiving estimates and inspections from professionals who recognize conditions and understand the most common problems facing your area.

Their regional knowledge makes them familiar with the requirements and codes in your neighborhood, ensuring that your local roof repair in Castle Rock or anywhere in the Front Range of Colorado is performed based on the city’s policies, preventing the need for expensive changes later on.

 

Local Building Codes

The last thing you want is to complete your roofing project only to find out that it does not meet the local code regulations. Locally certified roofers are professionals to trust with your roofing needs because they are familiar with the area’s relevant building and repair codes. Unlike out-of-town professionals, local experts guarantee you a quality roof that is up to code and made to withstand the test of time and weather.

 

Personal Interaction

It’s easy to become lost in the shuffle of clients when you work with a large-scale roofing company. Hiring a local roofer ensures you know who you’re dealing with, have met them face-to-face, and allows you the convenience of easily contacting them for help and repairs in the future. Local roofing companies value your business and work hard to earn your satisfaction and referrals.

Local roofing matters because it promotes local small business, and stimulates the local economy. Hiring a roofer in your own community is the best way to establish a personal relationship with a professional that you can trust to address all of your roofing maintenance needs for years to come.

Who Ya Gonna Call?

Who Do I Contact for Roof Repair in Colorado?

Colorado is notorious for unpredictable weather, as we all experience daily. Following a strong
storm, one common mistake that many homeowners make is calling their insurance company
before calling a roofer. Understandably, it seems logical to call the insurance company first and
get an inspector to take a look at possible damage. After all, as a homeowner, your goal is to
maintain the appearance, value, and protective nature of your home. After a storm causes
damage to your house, it only seems logical that you’d call your insurance company to handle the
damages. However, that may not be the best solution for the problems you may be facing. So
what should you do for your roof repair in Colorado?

How The Right Certified Roofing Specialist Can Help:

Great roofing companies develop reputations that precede them — one of honesty, integrity, and
quality workmanship. They will have worked with all the major insurance companies and
adjusters, and they will know exactly what to expect when the right roofer does the work. The
insurance company will know that any claim made will be valid, as there’s no need for shady
dealings with a reputable roofer. In Colorado, Celtic Roofing is the company with licensed
roofers and strong values.
Other than fixing or replacing your roof (Should you repair or replace?), Celtic Roofing is
licensed, certified, and trained to professionally inspect and identify any and all storm damage to
your house that should be addressed. In addition to their expertise, the Celtic Clan is also your
advocate in working with insurance companies and handling all claims, repairs, losses, and
damages to your roof, windows and siding, to ensure your roof repair in Colorado is done right.
The advantage of all this is that our certified roofing specialists are able to inspect your home
first, and identify whether or not you even have damage. Once the damage has been established,
Celtic Roofing can advise you in making a claim with your insurance, and work directly with the
adjuster to ensure that all of the required repairs are documented and accounted for.
Surprisingly enough, a lot of insurance companies don’t conduct a thorough inspection like a
roofer would, which leaves your roof and home vulnerable to damage that goes unnoticed. A
professional roofer is responsible for identifying damage and proposing a solution, while an
insurance adjuster is responsible for documenting visible damage. The trouble with this is that
many times, roof damage is not readily visible and actually develops below the surface of your roofing materials. Only a certified roofing specialist can safely climb on your roof and document
the extent of damage sustained by a storm and ensure the best roof repair in Colorado.
Calling a licensed roofer before your insurance company is the best way to remove yourself from
the headache of roofing lingo (not everyone is familiar with facia), financial negotiations, and the
confusion that follows a damaging storm. Let Celtic Roofing work with your insurance company
to ensure you are getting the best roof repair in Colorado by experts who understand your
situation. Contact us today to find out how we can help!

Realtors, Roof Inspections and Contracts – OH MY!

Posted by Celtic Roofing Team on

The team here at Celtic has a special place in our hearts for Realtors — we love ’em! Being a part of the process that helps families purchase homes is both rewarding and fun. And we want to help realtors make selling or buying a home as stress-free as possible.

How We Can Help

Celtic does free, pre-contract roof inspections to evaluate roofs prior to listings being under contract. This way, any issues with the roof can be taken care of before home inspection deadlines, thereby reducing the stress of getting repairs or a replacement done in 24 hours (we have all been there!). We can save you time, money and stress.

What You Can Do

Schedule a free roof inspection today! Our team has over 30+ years of experience with roofing of all types. We can guide you through the process of repairs or replacements along with decisions about materials, warranties, and certifications. Don’t get bogged down in the many choices available for roofing. As experts, we can help navigate the options, pros and cons of each material as well as the best colors to enhance the aesthetic of the the home.

The Process

When you give us a call, we will schedule a time to do the free inspection. No need for anyone to be home or meet us at the property – we can accomplish the evaluation using our CDC compliant, safe distance strategy and utilize all of our wonderful technology in communicating the inspection and plan of action to you.

Why You Should Schedule a Roof Inspection

As a realtor, you should know very well how many questions potential buyers can have about a property – when was it built? What’s the total square footage? What is this neighborhood like? It’s your job to know as much about a property as possible and answer these questions potential buyers might ask in order to help them better understand the property and eventually make them feel more comfortable and confident when making an offer.

One question you might not expect to be asked is the quality and condition of the roof. It might not even be something your client who is selling the property has thought about because most people really don’t, but you certainly should.

In addition to being able to confidently answer questions about the conditions of the roof, getting the roof inspected will prevent unanticipated issues from popping up later that could result in costly repair fees and delay the sale of the property or the possibility of potential buyers back out after scheduling a roof inspection of their own that gives them more insight into the roof’s condition. Furthermore, knowing the condition and value of a roof will aid in negotiations because if a buyer thinks that the roof will be a financial drain on them in the future, they’ll likely submit a lower offer.

Roof Inspections – Before or After Listing?

So, you know why getting a roof inspection is important, but should you have one done before or after listing a property? Unless you’re helping a seller on a budget, we’d always recommend having the roof inspected before a property is listed. For sellers on a budget, you should obviously still get the roof inspected, just after someone has shown interest in the property.

Roof Inspection vs. Home Inspection  

You may think that an inspection of the roof is included with a home inspection, but most times, this isn’t the case. Even if a home inspector does take a look at the roof, they likely won’t be as experienced or knowledgeable as a full-time roof inspector, so they may not know what to look for and could miss certain things. A roof inspector knows what to look for and has very specific expertise.

Springtime is the best time for a roof checkup

Posted by Celtic Roofing Team on

 

Spring in Colorado has officially arrived … longer days and warmer temperatures help thaw out the great outdoors as well as our homes. This is the perfect time to have your roof inspected to evaluate any work needed in order to prepare for summer hail storms and thunderstorms. We highly recommend taking advantage of this window of opportunity between winter and spring, and get a free roof evaluation from the Castle Rock Expert Roofing Team to avoid costly repairs stemming from neglect. Certain roof issues are hard to find during wintertime as snow and ice can cover problems up. Rising temperatures help us find problem areas and repair them promptly before more damage can be done.

 

It’s not too late for us to inspect your roof for hail damage from storms that took place last year! Let us take a look to see if there is any damage, and help walk you through the insurance process to get you the best roof possible. Whether you need a metal roof, shingle roof, tile roof, or hail-resistant F-Wave roof, the Castle Rock Expert Roofing Team has the expertise to help protect your home and family, from the outside in.

The Dreaded Ice Dam

Posted by Celtic Roofing Team on

ice dam

What is ice damming?

As we all know, Colorado has fickle weather patterns during the winter and spring months. One day it will be 67 degrees, and the next, a foot of snow will descend upon us. When the snow melts and freezes and melts and freezes above the gutters on our homes, this causes an ice dam. The beautiful icicles on the sides of your home look pretty … until the ice goes up under the shingles and causes massive leaking and damage to your home. Yikes!

How do you know if you have an ice dam?

A few different signs can point to an ice dam issue:

  • Snow is melting high up on your roof but not on the lower part

  • Icicles form on the edge of your roof and gutters

  • Gutters are not draining

  • Ice is on your exterior walls

  • Interior water damage from water seeping into your home

What prevents an ice dam?

There is an amazing product out there called Ice and Water Shield. Celtic Roofing applies it to EVERY roof we install, thus preventing ice dam issues. Ice and Water Shield is applied before the shingles to the plywood and nails, instantly bonding them together and creating a completely watertight seal. It must be applied 36 inches up from the edge of the roof, or two feet from the heated wall in order to prevent an ice dam situation.

Some cities do require Ice and Water Shield as a code requirement, but not all cities. Celtic Roofing applies it to EVERY roof we install, whether that particular city requires it or not. We stand behind our work, and will always go above (pun intended) and beyond to ensure the highest quality products are used to protect your home.

So enjoy the beauty of Colorado’s winters and springs without worry that the ever-changing weather will have a negative impact on your family’s home.

3 Reasons to Repair Your Roof ASAP

Posted by admin on with 0 Comment

Of all the different components and structures that protect your home, none is as important as your home’s roof. To avoid headaches and damage to your home, you always want to be certain that your roof is maintained and ready for whatever your local environment can throw at it.

What should you be doing to maintain your roof? To start, you need to make certain any roofing issues are always taken care of on time. What is normal wear-and-tear and when should you call on a local and reputable roofing company to look at things? Let’s look at three situations where a repair is in order.

3 Reasons to Repair Your Roof

Experiencing Leaks

If your roof is experiencing a leak, no matter how small it is, you need to have it repaired. What looks like an innocent drip one day, can transform into a sieve that can and will damage your home. If you notice a drip, water stains, paint ripples, or other symptoms of a leak, call a roofing company right away.

Damaged Shingles/Tiles

If you spot a damaged shingles or tile on your roof, you want to have it repaired before it turns into a home-damaging leak. Common symptoms of shingle damage include rips, buckling, peeling, cracks, balding or bald shingles, or missing shingles. If you have noticed any of these issues on your roof, its best to have them addressed before they become a bigger issue.

Damaged Flashing

Your roof’s flashing is the roof components that help reinforce leak-prone areas like penetrations of the roof or roof to wall transitions, so it’s critical that these components are kept in good repair. If you notice damage to your home’s flashing like curling, cracks, rips, or missing flashing, have it addressed right away. Damaged flashing will lead to leaks.

If you notice issues on your roof such as damaged shingles, damaged flashing, or if you are experiencing leaks you need to have your roof repaired, and quickly. Make a call to a local and quality roofing company to have your roof repairs diagnosed and fixed so your roof will be ready for anything that it may face.
