In the wake of a Front Range hailstorm, the process of replacing your roof can feel more like a legal battle than a home improvement project. At Custom Exteriors, we specialize in the “Insurance Restoration” side of roofing, a unique discipline that requires as much expertise in documentation as it does in craftsmanship. Since 2018, we have helped our neighbors replace residential roofs in Greeley, Fort Collins, and across Northern Colorado navigate the complexities of storm damage claims.
We aren’t here to give you a “lowball” estimate that misses half the damage; we are here to ensure your insurance carrier provides the full replacement value your policy promises, utilizing Xactimate, the same industry-standard software your adjuster uses, to ensure every code-required item, from drip edges to ice and water shields, is covered.
Most Northern Colorado homeowners don’t plan for a roof replacement until a hailstorm or a sudden leak makes it unavoidable. At Custom Exteriors, we believe that financial uncertainty should never stand between your family and a safe home. Whether you are dealing with a high insurance deductible or planning a proactive upgrade to Class 4 impact-resistant shingles, we offer a streamlined path to a new roof.
By combining our 50 years of installation expertise with flexible, transparent financing, we help you manage the cost of a premium roofing system through low monthly payments and competitive rates. As Colorado’s premier residential roofing company, we don’t just provide a service; we provide a way to protect your largest investment without depleting your emergency savings.

When you choose Custom Exteriors as your Colorado roofer, you can expect:
Answer: For a standard 2,000 sq. ft. home in Colorado, an asphalt shingle roof replacement typically costs between $11,000 and $18,000. If you upgrade to Class 4 Impact-Resistant shingles—highly recommended for Front Range hail—the cost generally ranges from $14,000 to $22,000. Factors like roof pitch and the number of layers to be removed will impact the final estimate.
Answer: In Colorado, insurance typically covers a replacement if the damage was caused by a “sudden and accidental” event, such as a hailstorm or high winds. Standard wear and tear or neglect are usually not covered. We recommend a professional inspection to document storm damage before you file a claim.
Answer: Class 4 shingles are “Impact-Resistant” materials that have passed the highest level of testing against hail damage. In Northern Colorado, they are an excellent investment; not only do they last longer during storm season, but many local insurance carriers also offer 15% to 25% discounts on annual premiums for homes with these roofs.
Answer: Most residential roof replacements take 1 to 2 days. Our team arrives early to protect your landscaping, performs the full tear-off and installation, and finishes with a thorough magnetic nail sweep of your yard. Larger or more complex architectural roofs may take up to 3 days.
Answer: While some building codes in Colorado code allows for up to two layers of shingles, we always recommend a full tear-off. Removing the old roof allows us to inspect the wooden decking for rot or soft spots. A “layover” traps heat, shortens the life of your new shingles, and often voids the manufacturer’s warranty. Custom Exteriors strips every roof to the decking before replacement.
Answer: Per Colorado building codes, this waterproof membrane is required in valleys and along eaves. It prevents “ice damming”, where melting snow refreezes at the edge of your roof and forces water under your shingles and into your home’s walls.
Answer: Roofers measure projects by “squares.” One roofing square equals 100 square feet. When you receive an estimate, it will likely be based on the number of squares required to cover your roof’s total surface area, including waste and overlap.
