Top-Quality Residential Roofing in Fort Collins

If you are like most Americans, your home is your most valuable financial asset. It serves to protect your family and your other personal assets. With so much invested in your property, you must always stay focused on home maintenance.

When it comes to your roof, you can leave nothing to chance. Minor issues can quickly escalate into significant problems, putting your home’s structure and interior assets at risk. When the time comes for a new roof or residential roofing repair in Fort Collins, 303 Roofer stands at the ready to serve you with the following roofing services.

Over time, your home’s roof is subject to natural wear and tear due to weather conditions. There is also the possibility of damage for a variety of reasons, such as falling objects or vandalism. These are some reasons you should request roof inspections at least once a year. At 303 Roofer, we can handle the inspection process on your behalf.

Should we discover issues with your roof or roofing, we recommend one of two options. The first option would be to install a new roof. We typically make this recommendation if your current issues are significant enough to bypass repairs. Residential roofing repair is the second option. More on that later.

• The home’s exposure to harsh weather conditions

• Style of your home

• Size of your home

• The aesthetics of your home and the rest of the residential community in which you live

• Your maintenance budget

• How long you and your family intend to stay in your home

Based on your thoughts and our recommendations, the roofing options we can offer and from which you can choose include:

• Asphalt Roofs

• Clay and Concrete Roofs

• Flat Roofs

• Metal Roofs

• Shake Roofs

• Shingle Roofs

• Slate Roofs

In middle America, this is the most common residential roof option. More often than not, this type of roofing is used for standard low-cost houses. Asphalt roofing shingles or tiles come in precut sizes, are made with a layered base mat/fiberglass mat combination, and are then covered with waterproofing asphalt. 

If residents want various roofing colors, fire-resistant ceramic-coated granules can be used as a final top layer. Fort Collins homeowners should also consider residential roofing repair services to maintain the longevity and durability of their roofs.

In many areas in the West and Southwest, clay and concrete roofs have become very popular. Both of these options come in a variety of colors. Clay tiles offer excellent insulation from the elements, are easy to maintain, and are very durable. While concrete is susceptible to mold and mildew, it’s very durable and can be easily molded into customized shapes.

Flat roofs for homes are a relatively new phenomenon. One of the great benefits of having a flat roof is the wide range of roofing materials, including synthetic materials, metal, tar-and-gravel (build-up), and modified bitumen.

The advantages of this option include:

• Easy to install
• Very affordable option
• Saves space
• Easy to maintain

For durability, longevity, and minimal maintenance requirements, metal roofing has gained popularity in recent years as a residential roofing option in Fort Collins.

Common materials used to manufacture metal roof sheets or panels include Stainless steel, Aluminum, Galvalume (steel), Galvanized (steel), Zinc, Iron, and Copper.

For aesthetics, it’s hard to beat the elegance and decorative nature of shake shingles. The shingles are made from a combination of asphalt and fiberglass. While easy to install and affordable, there are issues with the maintenance and durability of this option.

Shingles come in pre-cut sizes and a variety of shapes and colors. As for materials, there are at least 15 options available, including metal, wood, concrete, clay, rubber, and TPO–PVC. The right choice depends on priorities, taking into account factors such as strength, durability, and maintenance.

For durability and safety, slate roofing is a terrific option. The slate panels are manufactured from either natural slate or synthetic materials such as rubber or resins. One great advantage of this option is that it can be customized. Also, it’s an excellent option for homes that are constantly exposed to harsh weather. On the downside, slate panels are hefty and expensive.

While most types of roofs are quite durable and easy to maintain, every type is subject to various kinds of damage. Of course, the damage that might occur to a roof will be influenced by the types of materials that are used for the roofing.

• Broken or cracked shingles/panels due to the wind or hail
• Leaks that are caused by aging and natural wear and tear
• Blistering and shrinkage caused by exposure to heat and condensation
• Damaged flashing – metal seals that protect your home from weather conditions

Choosing a new roof installation would be an essential decision. Why? It’s a significant home improvement that could get expensive, depending on several factors. If your roof is relatively new and your current roofing issues seem minor, residential roofing repair might be all you need. Your 303 Roofer representative can help you make that decision.

If it’s decided that repairs are the way to go, we are prepared to make those repairs on your behalf. As a full-service roofer in Fort Collins, we can perform a full range of residential roofing repair services for any of the aforementioned roof types. Let’s take a look at the most common repairs we provide.

Leaks can compromise your home’s structural integrity. They can be caused by rotting, harsh weather conditions, impact from falling objects, and damaged tiles/shingles. After determining the source of the leaks, we would either seal the leaks or replace the damaged roofing.

If the source of your issues is broken or cracked tiles, they need to be replaced as soon as possible to avoid further damage. We recommend tile replacement or repair as a minor repair that can be handled quickly.

Shingles are always subject to damage from wear and tear, aging, and falling objects. As with tiles, repairs need to be made as soon as possible to avoid collateral damage. Again, this is a minor repair.

The accumulation of water on your roof can easily cause collateral damage over time. It can be caused by gutter damage or by rainwater pooling on a flat roof. If the issue were related to a gutter, we would repair or replace it. If it were related to pooling water, we would search for and implement measures to improve roof drainage.

Exposure to heat and water condensation can cause asphalt and some synthetic materials to blister or shrink. If you had a blistering issue, it doesn’t necessarily mean the roof seal has been damaged. We would investigate and only recommend repairs if the roofing’s underlying seals were at risk.

In the case of shrinkage, we can make repairs by replacing the flashing or adding the appropriate roofing materials.
