Roofing company Lakewood CO

A roofing company Lakewood CO trusts with older housing stock

A large share of Lakewood was built between 1950 and 1975. Those roofs have low slopes, wide eaves, original plank or skip sheathing in places, and ventilation systems that were designed for a different era of attic insulation. Treating them like new construction is how a contractor ends up with condensation problems and callbacks.

Our estimators walk each Lakewood roof on its own terms. If the decking needs to be addressed, we tell you before the job instead of after the tear off starts. Weddle & Sons has been family operated since 1999, and the crews here are trained to written standards rather than assembled from whoever is available that week.

Roof replacement Lakewood CO from inspection to final walk

Roof replacement Lakewood CO work begins with a free inspection and a photo report. We are looking at more than shingle condition: valley metal, chimney and skylight flashing, pipe boots, drip edge, and whether the attic is actually moving air.

The written estimate itemizes the whole system so you can see what drives the price. Tear off, decking, underlayment, ice and water shield at the eaves and valleys, ventilation, and the shingle line you selected all appear separately. There are no last minute change orders hiding in the fine print.

Lakewood's proximity to the foothills means downslope wind events that can peel poorly nailed shingles off a west facing slope in a single night. We nail to manufacturer specification for high wind zones and pay particular attention to rake and eave edges, which is where wind damage almost always starts.

Wind, hail, and insurance claims in Jefferson County

Jefferson County sees a mix of hail and hard downslope wind, and the two leave very different fingerprints. Wind lifts and creases shingles, breaks seal bonds, and works edges loose. Hail bruises the mat and knocks granules free. A proper inspection identifies both, because carriers scope them differently.

Our claim specialists photograph the roof in detail, meet the adjuster on site, and handle supplements so the scope reflects the real work. We are a roofing contractor, not a public adjuster, and we are straightforward about which items belong in a claim and which do not.

Seamless gutters and gutter protection in Lakewood

Older Lakewood homes often still have narrow five inch gutter and short downspout runs that drop water within a foot of the foundation. Between spring melt and summer downpours, that pattern is hard on basements in a city where a lot of homes have finished ones.

We form seamless aluminum gutter on site, size it to the roof area feeding it, and extend downspouts to daylight where the grade allows. For gutter screens we most often install Gutter RX, a perforated aluminum product installed with fastener screws, and we recommend it only after evaluating the trees and conditions around your specific property.

Solar and battery storage for Lakewood homes

Lakewood's mix of orientations makes solar a case by case conversation. Some ranch roofs offer one big clean south plane and are ideal. Others are cut up with dormers, swamp coolers, and mature tree shade that a good designer has to work around honestly rather than sell past.

We install residential solar panels and Tesla Powerwall battery storage, and as roofers we start with the roof underneath. If it should be replaced first, we sequence both as a single project so the flashing details and warranties stay with one contractor.
