Roofing Materials for Northern Colorado Homes
We install shingles from three manufacturers: GAF, Owens Corning and CertainTeed. Each one makes Class 4 impact-rated shingles for hail country, and shingle product and color are settled with you before the scope is final.

Three manufacturers
The shingles we install.
Each brand carries a manufacturer’s limited warranty against manufacturing defects. Here is how that works alongside our own warranty. As a GAF Certified contractor, we can offer GAF’s System Plus Limited Warranty on qualifying GAF roof systems — ask us whether your roof qualifies.
For hail country
Class 4 impact-rated shingles.
Each of the three manufacturers makes shingles rated Class 4 for impact under UL 2218. Their Class 4 lines are:
- GAF Timberline AS II
- Owens Corning Duration FLEX
- Owens Corning Duration STORM
- CertainTeed Landmark ClimateFlex
Standard CertainTeed Landmark is a different product and is not impact-rated. If you want an impact-rated CertainTeed roof, the line is Landmark ClimateFlex.
Shingle warranties do not cover hail damage. Hail damage is an insurance matter, so here is how we document a roof for a claim.

Choosing a shingle
From inspection to the product on your roof.
01
Inspection first
We inspect the whole roof and photograph its condition before recommending anything.
02
Product and color
You get a written scope with the shingle product and color, settled with you before it is final.
03
Impact rating
In hail country, ask whether a Class 4 impact-rated line makes sense for your roof.
04
Ask your insurer
Some insurers offer a discount for Class 4 impact-rated roofs. Colorado’s Division of Insurance suggests asking your carrier. Discounts vary and aren’t guaranteed.
Warranty
Every brand carries a manufacturer’s warranty.
Each manufacturer we install carries a manufacturer’s limited warranty against manufacturing defects, and every roof we install comes with our 10-year workmanship warranty. Shingle warranties do not cover hail damage.
