Frequently Asked Questions About Roofing in Fort Collins

What is the 25% rule for roofing and does it apply in Fort Collins?

The 25% rule is a building code requirement stating that if more than 25% of a roof or roof section is repaired or replaced within a 12-month period, the entire section must be brought up to current building codes. In Fort Collins and Larimer County, this rule is strictly enforced. If a hail storm damages a significant portion of your roof, this rule often triggers a full replacement to ensure the entire system meets the modern Class 4 impact resistance standards required by the city.

In the Northern Colorado climate, a 20 year old asphalt roof is typically at the end of its functional life. While shingles in other states might last 25 to 30 years, our intense UV exposure and frequent hail cycles tend to accelerate the aging process. At 20 years, the protective granules have usually depleted, leaving the fiberglass mat vulnerable to leaks and wind damage.

We specialize in the most durable systems for our climate, including high-impact asphalt shingles, standing seam metal panels, synthetic shake, flat/low sloped roofing and commercial roofing systems, including TPO, EPDM, Mod-Bit, BUR, and more. 

Homeowners insurance typically covers roof replacements if the damage is caused by a specific “covered peril,” such as a hail storm or high wind event. Since Fort Collins sits in a high-risk hail corridor, most local policies include this coverage, though you will be responsible for your deductible. We recommend a professional inspection to document the “functional damage” required for an adjuster to approve a claim.

The cost of a new roof varies based on square footage and material, but most homeowners in our area can expect to spend between $10,000 and $25,000. Factors like roof pitch and the choice between standard or impact-resistant shingles will impact the final estimate.

Materials are generally the largest expense, particularly in Fort Collins where Class 4 impact-resistant shingles are required. However, labor and the removal of old layers also represent a significant portion of the cost. Complex roof designs with steep pitches or multiple valleys require more time and safety equipment, which increases the overall investment.

Standard 3-tab asphalt shingles are historically the most affordable option, but they are rarely recommended for the Front Range. Because Fort Collins building codes require high impact resistance, a “basic” roof in this area is typically an architectural Class 4 shingle. While the upfront cost is higher than 3-tab, these shingles are actually more cost-effective because they last longer and can lower your annual insurance premiums.

Yes, the City of Fort Collins requires a building permit for any roof replacement or major repair exceeding one square (100 square feet). As a licensed contractor, Custom Exteriors manages the entire permit process and schedules the final inspection to ensure your project complies with all Larimer County safety standards.

A Class 4 rating means a shingle has passed the UL 2218 impact test, which involves dropping steel balls onto the material to simulate heavy hail. In Fort Collins, Class 4 shingles are a building code requirement for new roofs. These shingles are designed to remain intact during a storm, preventing the “bruising” that leads to leaks and premature failure.

Yes, you can stay in your home, but it will be a noisy environment. The process typically takes one to two days for a standard residential property. We recommend keeping pets indoors and moving vehicles away from the driveway to allow our crews room to work safely and manage debris.

In many cases, yes. Most insurance carriers in Colorado offer discounts to homeowners who install Class 4 impact-resistant shingles. Because these shingles are less likely to be damaged in a hail storm, insurers reward you for reducing the likelihood of a future claim.

Local contractors like Custom Exteriors are here year-round and understand the specific building codes and permit requirements of Larimer County. “Storm chasers” often move from state to state following storms and may not be around to honor their workmanship warranty if a leak develops later. We have served the Northern Colorado community since 2018 and stand behind every project we complete.
