Roof Repair in Fort Collins, CO
Most roofs fail in small places first: a lifted shingle, cracked flashing at a chimney or a worn boot around a vent pipe. Fixing those early keeps water out of the attic.
Request a rooferCommon repairs
Replacing missing or wind-lifted shingles, re-sealing flashing around chimneys, skylights and walls, fixing pipe boots, and repairing damaged ridge caps.
Wind and downslope gusts
Fort Collins has frequent warm spells from downslope winds coming off the foothills. Strong gusts can lift shingle edges and break the seal strip, which leaves them loose for the next storm.
Sun at altitude
At nearly 5,000 feet, the sun is strong on south and west roof slopes. UV dries out sealants and rubber pipe boots, so these are worth checking every few years.
Repair or replace?
If the roof is young and the damage is in one area, a repair makes sense. If the roof is near the end of its life or has damage on several slopes, a roofer may recommend replacement. Ask for both options.
What to tell the roofer
Where you see the problem, when it started and whether there is a leak inside. Photos from the ground help.
Until they arrive
Put a bucket under any drip and move valuables away. Stay off the roof, especially if it is wet, icy or steep.
Keep records
Keep notes and photos of every repair, with dates. They help when selling the home and when talking to your insurer after a storm.
