Roofing contractor in Security-Widefield, CO
Bi-levels and ranches with decades of roofing history underneath them. Our work here often starts with finding out what is already up there.
Security-Widefield grew up alongside the bases in the 1960s, 70s and 80s, and many of its homes are now on their second or third roof. That history shows up when we tear off: two layers of shingles, older decking boards rather than plywood, and ventilation that was never quite right.
Three things we check on every house here
| Check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| How many layers | A second layer adds weight and must come off for a proper reroof |
| Decking type | Older plank decking may need sheathing over it before new shingles |
| Attic airflow | Poor ventilation cooks shingles from below and causes winter frost |
Repair or replace on an older roof
If the roof is younger and the damage is from one storm, a repair is usually right. If we find brittle shingles over another layer, we price a full tear-off as well so you can compare. Either way it is your decision, with photos to back it up.
Common questions from Security-Widefield
My house has two layers of shingles. Is that a problem?
Not immediately, but a new roof should go over a clean deck. Removing both layers is part of the replacement price.
Can you improve attic ventilation during a reroof?
Yes. Adding or correcting ridge and soffit vents is easiest when the roof is open.
