Roofs in Idaho Springs: what we see

Idaho Springs has historic downtown buildings and older homes built into the steep canyon sides, many with steep roofs and challenging access. Snow, ice, wind and canyon shade wear roofs down unevenly. North-facing slopes hold snow and moisture longer, while south-facing slopes take intense sun.

Insurance claims for Idaho Springs 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.
