Roofing in Denver, CO

Mile-high hail, foothill wind, and brutal high-altitude UV demand a roof built for Denver - installed by an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred crew.

Family-owned · Licensed & insured · 4.9★ from 150+ Front Range reviews · Owens Corning Platinum Preferred

Denver sits a mile above sea level, right where the High Plains run into the Front Range, and that location is hard on a roof. The thin air lets through stronger UV, so the south- and west-facing slopes on homes in Washington Park and Park Hill age faster than any manufacturer's chart predicts. Add Denver's place squarely in Colorado's hail belt, the wind that rolls off the foothills, and the freeze-thaw swing of a typical winter day, and you get a roof that works harder here than almost anywhere else in the state.

That mix of stress is exactly why CR Custom Exteriors focuses on roofing built for this climate, not generic shingles that suit a milder town. As an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor, we install impact-rated shingles and metal roofing made to take a hailstorm and shrug off the wind uplift that builds along the foothills. From the brick bungalows of Berkeley to the newer builds in Central Park, we match the right system to your home, walk you through hail and insurance claims, and stand behind the work as a licensed and insured, family-owned company.

Owens Corning Platinum Preferred

We hold Owens Corning's top contractor tier, so the impact-rated shingles we install on Denver homes carry the strongest manufacturer warranty options available - a credential most roofers along the Front Range don't have.

Built for Denver's hail belt

We install impact-rated shingles and metal roofing chosen specifically for Front Range hail, the wind uplift that rolls off the foothills, and the intense UV that comes with living a mile high.

Hail & insurance claim support

With 10+ years on the Front Range and a 4.9-star rating across 150+ Google reviews, our family-owned, licensed and insured team guides you through the hail-damage and insurance claim process from inspection to install.

Common questions

How does hail and insurance work for a Denver roof replacement?
Denver sits in Colorado's hail belt, so storm damage is common and often covered by homeowners insurance. We provide a free hail-damage inspection, document the damage, and support you through the claim from the adjuster meeting to final install - in many cases homeowners pay only their deductible.
What roofing materials hold up best in Denver's climate?
For Denver's hail, foothill wind, and high-altitude UV we recommend impact-rated Owens Corning shingles or metal roofing. Both resist hail impact and wind uplift off the Front Range far better than standard architectural shingles, and the impact rating can also help lower some homeowners insurance premiums.
How long does a roof replacement take in Denver, and do I need a permit?
Most Denver homes - from Cherry Creek to Highland (LoHi) - are completed in one to two days once materials arrive, weather permitting. Roof replacements require a City and County of Denver permit, which we pull and manage as part of the project so you don't have to.
