As a homeowner in the Denver Metro area, your roof is your first line of defense against Colorado’s unpredictable weather — especially hail and heavy snow. But how do you know when it’s time to stop patching and start planning for a full roof replacement?
At Road Home Exteriors, we believe in educating, not pressuring. That’s why we’ve put together this straightforward guide to help you decide when to get your roof replaced — and what to look for before damage becomes a bigger problem.
1. Your Roof Has Hail or Storm Damage
Colorado storms are no joke. Hail damage is the #1 reason homeowners need a roof replacement in the Denver area. Even if you don’t see leaks inside your home, hail can bruise or crack shingles, dislodge granules, and compromise your roof’s lifespan.
Tip: After any major storm, schedule a professional roof inspection — especially if neighbors are getting repairs or replacements.
2. Your Roof Is More Than 15–20 Years Old
Even the best roofs don’t last forever. Most asphalt shingle roofs in Colorado last 15 to 25 years — depending on ventilation, materials, and exposure to sun and snow. If your roof is nearing the end of its lifespan, it’s time to start planning for replacement before leaks or structural issues arise.
Tip: If you’re unsure of your roof’s age, we can help determine it during a free inspection.
3. Shingles Are Curling, Cracked, or Missing
Physical wear and tear is a clear sign your roof is nearing failure. Look for shingles that are curling up at the edges, cracked, or missing altogether. You may also see granules collecting in your gutters — another sign your shingles are breaking down.
4. Your Roof Has Been Repaired Multiple Times
If you’ve had patch jobs after multiple storms or leaks, you may be putting off the inevitable. Repeated repairs can cost more in the long run than a full roof replacement — especially when insurance may cover storm-related damage.
5. You’re Filing an Insurance Claim After a Storm
Many Denver homeowners don’t realize that insurance may cover full roof replacement after hail or wind damage. At Road Home Exteriors, we specialize in helping homeowners navigate the insurance process and maximize their claims.
Tip: Never let an insurance deadline expire — you usually have a limited time to file after a storm.
