Roofs in Lafayette: what we see

Old Town Lafayette has small early 1900s homes and miner's cottages with steep, simple roofs and older decking. Much of the rest of the city was built from the 1970s through the 2000s, including Indian Peaks and Waneka Lake-area neighborhoods. Detached garages, sheds and additions add more roof sections to replace when hail hits.

Insurance claims for Lafayette 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.
