Roof Replacement in Denver: what to know
Denver is dry and sunny, with fast temperature swings, spring snowstorms and one of the most hail-prone seasons in the U.S. Expansive soil, strong UV at altitude and freeze-thaw cycles all affect roofs, siding and foundations.
- Roof replacement is best done from late spring to fall, when shingles seal properly.
- Ice-and-water shield along the eaves helps prevent ice-dam leaks on a new roof.
- Hail-damaged roofs are often replaced through insurance, and impact-resistant (Class 4) shingles can lower premiums in some areas.
