Boulder roofing that gives $1,000 back

Roofs in Boulder: what we see

Boulder's older neighborhoods, such as Mapleton Hill, Whittier and the Hill, have historic homes with steep roofs and old decking, while Table Mesa, Martin Acres and north Boulder are full of 1950s to 1970s homes. Boulder sits right under the Flatirons, and winter downslope wind storms can gust well over hurricane force. That makes fastening, edge metal and ridge details critical. Some neighborhoods are also in historic districts with design review.

Hail and storm history near Boulder

Storm reports show about 101 hail reports within 10 miles of central Boulder since 2004, fewer than the eastern suburbs, but big storms still come through. On July 5, 2019, 2.5-inch hail was reported in nearby Lafayette and 2.25-inch hail in the Paragon Estates area.

Hail counts and dates are from National Weather Service and Storm Prediction Center reports compiled by StormerSite. Check your own address for hail.

Permits and the wildfire code in Boulder

Re-roofs inside Boulder city limits need a City of Boulder building permit. Homes outside the city are in unincorporated Boulder County, which has its own permit office and stricter wildfire zone rules.

The City of Boulder has its own Wildland-Urban Interface code and map, which was expanded in 2025 to cover about 16,000 homes. We confirm your home's status with the city when we pull the permit. Homes in unincorporated Boulder County are all in a county wildfire zone. Check your address or read our guide to Colorado's wildfire roofing code.

Insurance claims for Boulder homeowners

We meet your adjuster on the roof and document the damage with photos. Once you hire us, we discuss the repair scope with your insurer and submit supplements for code items and materials the first estimate missed; you stay in charge of your claim. Colorado law gives you 72 hours to cancel a roofing contract after your insurer denies the claim, and it bars roofers from paying or waiving your deductible. See our after-the-storm checklist and our guide to insurance supplements.

Questions from Boulder homeowners

Is my Boulder home in the city's wildfire (WUI) area?

The City of Boulder expanded its WUI map in 2025 to about 16,000 homes. We check your exact address with the city before quoting materials.

What roof survives Boulder's wind best?

Shingles with a high-wind rating installed with the manufacturer's high-wind nailing pattern, plus solid edge metal and starter strips. Standing-seam metal is also a strong choice.
