Enter your address to see if Colorado's new Wildfire Resiliency Code applies to your home and what it means for your next roof.
We check your address against the official 2025 Colorado Wildfire Resiliency Code Map from the Colorado Division of Fire Prevention and Control.
We'll tell you exactly what the wildfire code requires for your roof and build it to pass inspection.
Every full roof replacement gives $1,000 to your charity or church.
| Requirement | Class 1 area | Class 2 area |
|---|---|---|
| Class A fire-rated roof covering | Required | Required |
| Ember-blocking at gaps under tile and metal profiles | Required | Required |
| Noncombustible gutters and downspouts | Required | Required |
| Protected eaves and soffits | Not required | Required |
If you replace or repair 25% or more of your roof's surface, the entire roof has to meet the code. A full hail replacement always clears that bar, so the new roof must be built to the wildfire standard for your area.
We check your address before we write the estimate, spec a Class A roof system with metal gutters and ember-resistant details, pull the permit, and document every code item for your insurance company. Ask your agent about supplements and ordinance or law coverage. Code upgrades are often covered.

WUI stands for wildland-urban interface: the places where homes meet grass, brush and forest. Colorado's 2025 Wildfire Resiliency Code sets building rules for homes in mapped WUI areas, split into Class 1 (lower fire intensity) and Class 2 (moderate to high fire intensity).
The state Wildfire Resiliency Code Board adopted the code on July 1, 2025. Cities and counties with WUI areas had to adopt it by April 1, 2026, with enforcement starting by July 1, 2026. Some places, like Jefferson County and Boulder, have their own WUI rules and maps.
Yes. If you replace or repair 25% or more of your roof's surface, the whole roof has to meet the code's fire rating for new construction. In both Class 1 and Class 2 areas that means a Class A fire-rated roof covering and noncombustible gutters and downspouts. Class 2 adds protection at the eaves and soffits.
Most modern fiberglass asphalt shingles from Owens Corning, GAF and CertainTeed are Class A fire rated when installed as a complete system. Wood shake roofs, many older roofs and some specialty products are not, and gaps under tile or metal profiles have to be blocked against embers. We spec every roof to the code that applies to your address.
Many homeowner policies include ordinance or law coverage, which can pay for code-required upgrades when a covered loss like hail damages your roof. We document the code requirement and submit it to your insurer as part of the claim.
