Roofing contractor in Falcon, CO

Falcon's location on the open high plains east of the foothills means there are no natural windbreaks or terrain features to slow a hailstorm before it reaches a rooftop. Subdivisions like Meridian Ranch and Woodmen Hills sit on gently rolling land where storm cells track across the area with full force. Homes on larger acreage lots along Falcon Highway and the surrounding rural roads face the same exposure, often with fewer neighbors nearby to notice damage after a storm passes. A professional inspection after any significant weather event is the only reliable way to know what the storm left behind.

Most of Falcon's housing stock was built between the early 1990s and the mid-2000s, which puts a large share of roofs in the range where original shingles are showing real wear. Granule loss accumulates over time even without a major storm event, and shingles that have been through multiple hail seasons may be brittle enough that a moderate storm causes damage that would not have occurred on a newer roof. When we inspect a Falcon home, we assess the overall condition of the shingle system, not just the most recent storm's impact, so homeowners have an accurate picture of where their roof stands.

Falcon's newer construction also means many homes have asphalt shingle roofs installed to the standards of the era they were built, which may not include the impact-resistant ratings now available. Upgrading to Class 4 impact-resistant shingles during a replacement is worth evaluating here because the open terrain makes repeated hail exposure a near-certainty over the life of a roof. We walk through material options and what each means for long-term performance and insurance costs as part of every replacement estimate we provide.
