Are you dealing with recent hail damage to your roof?

Are you experiencing leaks that are causing additional damage to your home?

Or are you just worried about the state of your roof after so many years?

It sounds like it’s time to call a front range roofing company to clarify what might be the problem… but where do you start? How do you ensure you don’t get scammed by a not reputable or non-local roofing company?

Here are three things to consider when hiring a front range roofing company for your roof repairs:

1. Look closely at what their customer reviews say.

First of all, make sure the roofing company you’re considering has reviews from satisfied customers! If they don’t, it’s hard to be sure whether or not they’re reputable and can follow through on your roof repairs. What are the most commonly expressed sentiments about their work if they do?

Look for themes, such as:

“I never had to worry about follow-up.”
“Communication was excellent.”
“Reliably quick and thorough communication.”
“Communicates proactively.”
“Perfectly descriptive and upfront about all expectations.”

What does this tell you about the company? If you guessed that they’re clear and communicative throughout all parts of your roofing job, you’d be right!

We hope you see these kinds of comments in the reviews for any company you’re considering hiring for roof repairs because Denny’s Roofing personally values clear, honest communication (yep, these are actual statements from our customer reviews!) When dealing with such a critical part of your home or building, you shouldn’t have to feel any uncertainty, concern, or worry.

2. Make sure they’re not a “storm chaser.”

With so many roofing companies out there, it’s essential to know that when a storm creates roof damage to your home or commercial building, hordes of “Storm Chasers” will come in from out of state and start knocking on doors.

They’ll promise you the moon to get you to sign a contract.

The issue is that companies from out of town are only here to slap on a roof and then head home once the storm rush is over. And if you have issues with it, they’re gone, with no real warranty or recourse because they’re not relying on a good reputation or reviews. The’re in and out. And it can be hard to figure out who you can trust because they have a slick sales force. They know what to do to get you to sign a contract before you know what’s happening to get you locked in. Hint: if something sounds too good to be true, or the price is way less than other bids… it’s often a bait and switch. Be careful!

Your roof is the first line of defense against the elements and is too important and expensive to leave up to chance. You need a front range roofing company with years of experience and exemplary customer service. One that will be here with you for years to come, standing by their work. You also need a company that will stand by its warranty and is here should something ever happen.

3. Choose a company that will go to bat for your roofing needs with your insurance.

Picking the right roofing company is especially important because you’ll have to work closely with them for several months during the process of filing an insurance claim and getting the work done. As mentioned at the start, you want a team on your side that has excellent communication (and will pick up the phone whenever you call or text), is knowledgeable about the insurance and building process, has the same values, and is professional in every way.

Filing an insurance claim and the following process can be a lot of work and quite confusing. The process can feel daunting, but it doesn’t have to be with the right roofing company! At Denny’s Roofing, our insurance specialists take the complexity out of the claims process and do all the heavy lifting for you. This should be a given, and if the company you’re talking to doesn’t have a track record of handling these challenges for clients, they’re not the right fit.

You need a roofing company that will be your advocate.

A bit of preventive maintenance can go a long way toward increasing the lifespan of your roof and saving yourself significant money over time. That’s exactly why we provide free resources for roofing questions on the blog. We want you to get the most of your roof whether we installed it or not!

Making roof repair your top priority will help:

• Save you money in the long-term
• Prevent greater structural issues
• Prevent premature roof replacement

All things that are important to any homeowner!

Here are five things you need to consider when it comes to roof maintenance:

1. Perform regular roof inspections.

Inspections ensure that your residential roofing hasn’t sustained any damage from sun exposure, wind, rain, storms, debris, or other elements. We recommend hiring a credible and reputable front range roofing company to perform a thorough inspection twice a year.

Additionally, you’ll want to have your roof inspected quickly after any major storms to check for damages and repairs that are needed. If anything looks concerning, we recommend doing the repairs as soon as possible to avoid causing further damage and greater expense in the future.

2. Keep an eye out for leaks in your attic and ceilings.

Water stains inside your house are a sure sign that your roof may need repairs. You should be checking your ceilings and attic for water damage just as regularly as your roof itself to head off any serious issues.

The most common warning signs of a roof leak are:

• Musty odors in certain rooms
• Water stains on your ceiling
• Spots on your exterior walls
• Bulging patches on your interior walls

If you notice any of these signs, your next step is to try and locate the leak, then call in a professional to patch up the hole in your roof (or find it if you can’t).

3. Wash your roof and clean your gutters regularly.

If you have a shingly roof, it’s a good idea to wash it regularly. At some point, your roof may start to look dirty, with dark streaks coming from the peaks. This is algae growing on your house, and while it won’t cause any immediate damage, it can slowly rot your shingles.

To get rid of algae on your roof, spray your shingles with a 50% mix of bleach and water. This will kill the algae fairly quickly. You’ll also want to consider installing copper strips just beneath your roof’s peak. The copper molecules will stream down your roof when it rains, killing any algae trying to return!

Additionally, you want to make sure to clean out your gutters regularly. This is an essential part of maintaining your roof. Clogged gutters make it easy for water to seep under the structure of your roof, creating more than just water stains. We recommend cleaning them out twice a year. Once in late spring and again in early fall as part of a regular home maintenance checklist.

4. Apply the right kind of protective coating.

Over the last decade, we’ve seen a rise in roof coating materials designed for extending the life of homes and buildings that are structurally sound, and a new roof might not be an option. We’re not big fans of roof coatings. But in certain situations, adding a roof coating to your property can be an efficient choice as a short-term tactic to protect your investment against wind, weather, and other strange incidents. After all, you don’t want to deal with a potential flood disaster! Protective roof coating isn’t the best solution but might be for the moment.

Let us help you come up with the correct roof coating for your needs! They come in various types such as acrylic, silicone, and polyurethanes to meet different building budgets. So whatever your issue is, we’ve got you!

5. Perform basic repairs immediately.

It’s vital to deal with necessary repairs as quickly as possible, whether they’re big or small. If you notice a few pieces missing off your roofing, replace them right away to avoid losing more. If you discover a small leak, contact a front range roofing company that same day to fix the issue to prevent increasing the water damage. Roofs carry a ton of responsibility when it comes to protecting your home, family, and possessions, and it’s your job to help it last as long as possible. Protect your investment by addressing repairs without delay!

Picking the right front range roofing company is especially important because you’ll have to work closely with them during the process of filing an insurance claim and getting the work done. You want a great communicator who is knowledgeable about the insurance and building process, has customer-service-oriented values, and is professional in every way.
