Boulder sits in one of the hardest hail zones in the country, and many neighborhoods border open space where fire risk is real. We help you choose a roof that’s actually built for that, hail-resistant, fire-rated, and installed by a local team you can reach when it matters. Schedule a free inspection and see what your roof needs.
Boulder sits in one of the hardest hail zones in the country, and a roof that isn’t built for it won’t last. Custom Exteriors has replaced and repaired residential and commercial roofs across Boulder since 2018, from older homes near Mapleton Hill to newer builds out toward Gunbarrel or commercial buildings in East Boulder, and we know which materials actually hold up here: impact-resistant shingles for hail, fire-rated options for homes near open space, and installation that accounts for Boulder’s intense sun and big temperature swings.
Whether you’ve got storm damage, an aging roof, or just want it done right the first time, our team handles the whole process, inspection, insurance claim if you need one, and a clean installation backed by an industry-leading warranty. No pressure, no runaround, just straight answers about what your roof needs.

Boulder sits in one of the most hail-prone corridors in the country, and many of our neighbors, from Mapleton Hill to the foothill communities near Chautauqua and Sunshine Canyon, live right at the edge of open space, where wildfire risk is a real part of choosing a roof. Since the 2021 Marshall Fire, more Boulder homeowners are asking us about Class A fire-rated materials alongside impact-resistant shingles. That’s the kind of local knowledge you get with Custom Exteriors. W are proud to not just install roofs, but also help you choose the right roof for where you actually live.

At Custom Exteriors, with decades of experience and a reputation that precedes us, we stand as a trusted roofing contractor in Boulder, Colorado.
Our seasoned team of professionals brings a wealth of knowledge and skill to every roofing project. From residential to commercial and multi-family properties, we’ve seen it all. Our expertise extends to a variety of roofing systems, including TPO, EPDM, Modified Bitumen, metal roofing, asphalt shingles, and synthetic shingles.
Roofing is our specialty, but it’s rarely the only thing a storm or a few Colorado winters leave behind. Most of our roofing customers eventually ask the same question: can you take care of the siding and windows too? We can, Custom Exteriors handles siding, windows, exterior paint, and gutters under the same team, the same point of contact, and the same warranty as your roof. So if a hailstorm damaged more than your shingles, or your home just needs a full refresh, you don’t need to find, vet, and coordinate a second contractor. One call covers it.
We install and repair hail-resistant, fire-rated roofing systems built to hold up to Boulder’s weather for decades.
Our siding replacements protect your home from Colorado’s sun, wind, and hail while giving it a lasting, updated look.
We install energy-efficient windows that cut drafts, lower your utility bills, and stand up to high-altitude sun.
Our exterior painting protects your siding and trim from the elements while boosting your home’s curb appeal.
Our seamless gutters are custom-built on-site to move Colorado’s snow and rain safely away from your foundation.
We install sliding glass and entry doors that improve your home’s security, efficiency, and everyday livability.
Boulder’s high altitude means more intense UV exposure and bigger daily temperature swings than most of the Front Range, both of which wear down standard shingles faster. We factor that into every material recommendation, and for homes near open space or the foothills, we’ll walk you through Class A fire-rated options alongside your standard choices.

“I couldn’t recommend Custom Exteriors more enthusiastically! My roof was totaled in a hailstorm the same week the home went under contract. Ryan, Alex, and the team were amazing in rushing my install, finishing well before our close date, and preserving the sale of the home. The team went above and beyond in every way and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Hail damage sucks, the process isn’t fun, but working with an awesome company like Custom Exteriors makes it a lot less painful. Thank you so much!!!”

“Custom Exteriors provided exceptional professional service in the restoration of our home after the severe hailstorm. We had to replace the roof, skylight, siding, gutters and downspouts, front door, and window screens. Ryan managed the contract and helped us demonstrate the degree of the damage to the insurance company. John managed the project so the work was completed well and on-time. Mike personally inspected the work and ensured the final project met his standards. I highly recommend Custom Exteriors.”

Talk is easy, a finished roof or exterior remodel speaks for itself. Around Boulder, we’ve replaced storm-damaged shingles on homes, installed Class 4 impact-resistant systems for families closer to the foothills, and helped HOA boards manage full community reroofs without the headaches. Every project reflects the same standard: quality materials, clean craftsmanship, and a roof built for what Boulder’s weather actually throws at it.
Browse some of our recent work below to see that standard for yourself. If you like what you see, the next step is easy, schedule a free inspection and we’ll walk your roof with you, no pressure, just straight answers about what it needs.
Most Boulder homeowners pay between $10,000 and $25,000+ for a full roof replacement, depending on square footage, pitch, and material. Impact-resistant Class 4 shingles cost more upfront but often qualify for an insurance premium discount given Boulder’s hail exposure.
A standard 2,000 square foot roof usually takes 2 to 3 days for a professional crew, one day for tear-off, and 1-2 more for underlayment, flashing, and shingles. Complex rooflines or larger commercial buildings take longer.
Yes. Hail is a covered peril under nearly all Colorado homeowners policies. Insurers typically cover repair or replacement minus your deductible, and frequent hailstorms make this one of the most common claims for Boulder-area homeowners. We recommend meeting with your insurance agent prior to a storm to verify coverages for your property.
A Class 4 shingle is rated to withstand hail impact without cracking or losing granules, the highest rating on the UL 2218 impact scale. Colorado insurers often discount premiums for homes with Class 4 roofs given the state’s hail risk.
Yes, most roof replacements in the City of Boulder and Boulder County require a building permit. Custom Exteriors handles the permitting process for every project, along with any HOA architectural review your community requires.
Boulder sits within Colorado’s “Hail Alley,” the Denver-Boulder-Cheyenne corridor recognized as one of the most hail-prone regions in North America. Significant hailstorms typically occur multiple times each hail season, roughly May through September.
Class A fire-rated materials, including Class A-rated asphalt shingles, metal roofing, and clay or concrete tile, offer the highest fire resistance. Since the 2021 Marshall Fire, more Boulder-area homeowners near open space are choosing Class A roofing.
Standard asphalt shingles typically last 15 to 25 years in Colorado, often on the shorter end due to intense high-altitude UV exposure and hail impact. Impact-resistant and metal roofing systems can last 40 to 50+ years. Local severe weather events can significantly reduce these times.
Common signs include curling or missing shingles, granules collecting in gutters, visible sagging, daylight through attic boards, or leaks after storms. If your roof is over 15 years old and was recently hit by hail, a free inspection can confirm what it needs.
Most Boulder HOAs require architectural review approval before a roof replacement, including material and color selection. Custom Exteriors manages this review process directly with your HOA board so homeowners and property managers don’t have to.
Start with a professional roof inspection to document the damage, then contact your insurance company to open a claim. Custom Exteriors provides photo documentation and works directly with your adjuster to make sure the full scope of damage is covered.
Metal roofing holds up exceptionally well in Boulder, it resists hail impact, carries a Class A fire rating, sheds heavy snow efficiently, and can last 40-60 years. It costs more upfront than asphalt shingles but needs replacement far less often.
