Roofing company Thornton CO

Why Thornton homeowners choose us as their roofing company

Thornton has an unusual concentration of homes built within the same handful of years by the same handful of builders. That means whole neighborhoods reach the end of their original roof life at once, and it means a lot of door knocking after every storm. Homeowners here have heard every pitch.

What we offer instead is a permanent local company. Weddle & Sons has been family operated since 1999, our Denver office is staffed year round, and our service department answers warranty calls with a real person. We would rather earn the next fifteen years of your business than close a sale on your porch tonight.

Roof replacement Thornton CO on builder grade roofs

Most Thornton homes came with a builder grade three tab or entry level architectural shingle and the minimum ventilation the code allowed at the time. That is fine for the warranty period and mediocre after it. A roof replacement Thornton CO project is the right moment to correct both.

We write the estimate with the whole assembly itemized: tear off, decking allowance, synthetic underlayment, ice and water protection at the eaves and valleys, upgraded ventilation, and your chosen shingle line. Most Thornton homes finish in one day, with magnet sweeps across the drive and lawn before the crew leaves.

We also look hard at nailing patterns. On the exposed north metro plains, wind is the number one reason a new roof fails early, and fastener placement is the single detail that decides whether shingles stay put in a 70 mile per hour gust.

Hail and insurance claims in Adams County

Adams County is squarely in the hail corridor, and Thornton has taken direct hits in multiple recent seasons. Because so many homes here are the same age and construction, storms often generate a wave of claims at once, and the adjusters working them are busy and moving quickly.

That is exactly when accurate documentation matters. We photograph every slope, mark test squares, meet your adjuster on the roof, and pursue supplements and code items so the approved scope covers the real work. We are a roofing contractor, not a public adjuster, and your carrier makes the coverage decision.

Gutters and gutter guards for Thornton properties

Newer Thornton homes tend to have big continuous roof planes and only two or three downspouts, so gutters here move a lot of water through a few outlets. When those outlets clog, water spills at the corners and finds the foundation.

We form seamless aluminum gutter on site, size it correctly for the drainage area, and add downspouts where the math calls for them. Gutter RX perforated aluminum screens are our most common recommendation, but we evaluate your trees, pest pressure, and roof pitch on a complimentary visit before recommending any screen.

Solar panels and Tesla Powerwall in Thornton

Thornton's newer roofs are often ideal solar hosts: simple planes, few penetrations, and plenty of unshaded south and west exposure. The catch is that a solar array should never go on a roof that is close to replacement, and plenty of Thornton roofs are exactly that age right now.

We assess the roof first, then design the system. As a certified Tesla installer we handle residential solar panels and Tesla Powerwall battery storage, and we can run roof and solar as one project so there is a single warranty conversation.
