A storm just came through
Start with the hail damage roof repair guide. It covers what to photograph in the first 24 hours, how hail shows up on asphalt, metal, shake and tile, and how to tell a real bruise from 15 years of normal weathering.
You are about to file, or the adjuster is booked
Read the roof insurance claim guide. It walks the claim from the first phone call to the recoverable depreciation check, including what Colorado Senate Bill 12-038 requires in your contract.
Water is coming through the ceiling right now
Skip the reading and call (719) 337-2126. We run 24/7 emergency response, including tarping, and deal with the permanent repair and the claim once the house is dry.
You are weighing a Class 4 roof
Our impact-resistant roofing page explains the UL 2218 test and what C.R.S. 10-4-110.8 means for your premium.
What you can rely on here.
Colorado law, named
Where a guide leans on the law it names the law: Colorado Senate Bill 12-038 for roofing contracts and deductibles, and C.R.S. 10-4-110.8 for impact-resistant roofs. We do not quote statutes we cannot point to.
Local permits, specific
Colorado Springs, Fountain, Monument and unincorporated El Paso County permit through the Pikes Peak Regional Building Department, where a reroof over 1 square (100 sq ft) needs a permit. The City of Pueblo has its own department, and Pueblo West moved to the Pueblo County Building Division on 1 January 2026.
No prices without a roof
We do not publish a price for your roof before we have stood on it. Pitch, layers, decking, access and ventilation move the number too much for a web page to be honest about it.
Dated, and read against your policy
Every guide shows the date it was last updated. Colorado homeowner policies have changed fast in the last few years, with cosmetic damage exclusions and percentage wind and hail deductibles now common, so read any guide next to your own declarations page.
Contractor, not adjuster
Alta documents the damage, writes the estimate, meets your adjuster and supplements our own scope. Negotiating your claim for you is a licensed public adjuster's job, and the guides say so.

Free, photo-documented and no obligation. If there is nothing wrong with your roof, you will hear that from us too.
