Some homeowners consider reroofing their houses in sections, tackling specific areas needing attention rather than replacing the whole roof at once. While reroofing in sections may seem appealing, it is important to fully understand the potential drawbacks before proceeding.
Timing is everything. If you, as a homeowner, miss a time window to address your roof following a storm, you could jeopardize your chances of any resolution. Although it may seem harsh, your insurance provider restricts how long you have after a storm to initiate the roof inspection process. In fact, the insurance company could make it downright impossible to schedule a roof inspection. Don’t get caught in this unfortunate situation—a roof inspection after a storm must be performed promptly.
Colorado’s climate is best described as “extreme.” Locals understand they must be prepared for anything because nothing about Colorado’s weather is predictable. Unlike any other state, the climatic conditions can change dramatically within hours, if not minutes. It is not unusual for temperatures to be scorching hot at one point earlier in the day, but then freezing weather, including snow and ice, cruelly thunders in like Jack Frost later in the day. If you own a home in Colorado, it is incumbent upon you to understand the different roof types that are available to you. Because of our state’s unique and often harsh climate, the roof you select could be the perfect solution or your worst nightmare. Choosing a roofing product supplied by a reputable manufacturer ensures that your roof will perform optimally for the longest time. Traversing the path of off-the-shelf roofing or a lesser-known brand could spell trouble for you.
Does your homeowner’s insurance policy automatically cover storm damage to your roof? Or do you first need to meet specific criteria to be covered?

Know when to submit a claim. Understand at what point it makes more sense to refrain from filing a claim. Be an informed homeowner and learn to navigate the process of whether to make a claim.
What options exist if personal finances are tight, but you think your home needs a roof replacement sooner versus later? Deciding what to do next can produce a lot of unnecessary stress. Is financing available? Are there other alternatives? A roof replacement may come as a surprise & not be in your budget. However, practical solutions exist. Let’s explore.
Time. Most people wish they had more of it. Most of us can agree on that point. In our ever-busy lives, time is a valuable (and indispensable) commodity. If you own a home, you understand that the roof’s performance is critical to the overall health of your structure. If the roof leaks or shows signs of excess wear and tear, your home’s interior spaces will likely be compromised.
A comprehensive roof inspection generally makes sense for determining your residential roof’s present condition. But how long does a roof inspection take? Will it require an hour or two? A half day? A full day? What if your roof is complex or has extensive square footage? Then what? Many homeowners shy away from scheduling a roof inspection because of the perceived (or actual) inconvenience.
