Most roof inspections are sales calls with a ladder. The useful version produces a document you can act on: what condition each slope is in, what is failing and how soon, and roughly how many years are left. That report is worth having whether you are buying a house, selling one, considering a claim, or simply want to know how long you have to plan.
What this means in Monument specifically
Hail exposure here
The Palmer Divide intensifies storms as they lift over it, and Monument takes hail more often and harder than Colorado Springs proper. Insurers know this, and it shows in both premiums and in how frequently roofs here are replaced. Impact-resistant shingles pay for themselves faster here than almost anywhere else we work.
What the roofs are like here
Large custom homes with steep, complex rooflines, many valleys, and significant dormer and gable detail. Complexity drives cost far more than square footage here. A high proportion of upgraded product already, including stone-coated steel and heavier architectural asphalt.
Snow load and ice damming
Sitting on the Divide at nearly 7,000 feet, Monument holds snow substantially longer than the Springs. Sustained load and repeated freeze-thaw make ice damming a genuine and recurring problem, especially on the complex rooflines common here. Adequate ventilation and eave protection matter more than the shingle you choose.
Wind exposure
Persistent wind across the Divide is the defining exposure. Ridge and hip components take constant uplift, and improperly fastened ridge caps are the most common failure we find. Wind-driven snow also forces moisture up under shingle courses in ways it does not at lower elevations.
Monument sits at approximately 6,960 feet.

How we do it
- 1
Walk the roof
Where it is safe to. Some pitches and surfaces are not walkable, and we will tell you when the inspection had to be done from a ladder or drone instead of pretending otherwise.
- 2
Document everything
Photographs of each slope and each defect, with location noted. The report should let someone who was not there understand the roof.
- 3
Check the attic
Underside staining, daylight, compressed or wet insulation, and inadequate ventilation are all visible from inside and invisible from above.
- 4
Report with a timeline
Not just condition but timing. "Five to seven years, watch the north valley" is useful. "It looks old" is not.
What it costs
Free, with no obligation, and the written report is yours to keep.
We quote Monument properties before starting, and the number you hear is the number you pay. If something on site changes the scope, you hear about it before we do the work rather than on the invoice.

Inspection questions from Monument
How often should a roof be inspected?
Every two to three years on a roof under fifteen, annually after that, and after any significant hail or wind event. In this region the storm-triggered inspection matters more than the calendar one.
Do you charge for it?
No, and the report is yours regardless of what you do next. An inspection that only exists to produce a quote is not worth having.
Can you inspect for a home purchase?
Yes, and it is worth doing separately from the general home inspection. General inspectors are competent generalists who often assess roofs from the ground or a ladder at the eave. A roof-specific inspection on a purchase can change the negotiation materially.
What if you find nothing wrong?
Then we tell you that and you have documentation showing the condition and date. That is a good outcome, not a wasted visit.
