Lakewood roofing that gives $1,000 back

Roofs in Lakewood: what we see

Lakewood's neighborhoods built from the 1950s through the 1970s, such as Lakewood Estates, Applewood Village edges and the streets around Belmar, have a lot of low-slope ranch roofs and rock-and-tar sections that need different materials than the shingled main roof. Up on Green Mountain and toward Bear Creek Lake Park, the homes are bigger and sit higher, so wind is part of the picture. Lakewood also has a large share of townhome and condo communities, where roofs are usually replaced building by building through the HOA.

Hail and storm history near Lakewood

Lakewood was ground zero for the May 8, 2017 hailstorm. The Colorado Mills mall closed after the storm, and the storm caused about $2.3 billion in insured damage, one of the costliest disasters in Colorado history. Storm reports show more than 330 hail reports within 10 miles of Lakewood since 2004. June 2026 brought 1.75-inch hail reports both north of Golden and in Denver.

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 Lakewood

Re-roofing a home inside Lakewood city limits requires a City of Lakewood building permit and a final inspection. Lakewood addresses that are actually in unincorporated Jefferson County go through the county instead.

Inside Lakewood, the city's adopted code and the state map decide whether the 2026 wildfire roofing rules apply. Homes on the west side near the hogback, Green Mountain and Bear Creek are the ones most worth checking. Check your address or read our guide to Colorado's wildfire roofing code.

Insurance claims for Lakewood 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 Lakewood homeowners

Do you replace roofs on Lakewood townhome communities?

Yes. We handle multi-building HOA projects in phases, coordinate with your management company, and keep residents informed building by building.

Was my Lakewood roof fully fixed after the 2017 storm?

Not always. A lot of roofs were replaced in a rush that year. If yours has lifting shingles or missing drip edge, it's worth a free second look.
