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 Security-Widefield specifically
Hail exposure here
Regular hail exposure on a housing stock built largely between the 1960s and 1980s, which means many roofs have been replaced through insurance more than once. Prior repairs of varying quality are common, and layered roofs still turn up here more than anywhere else we work.
What the roofs are like here
Predominantly 1960s to 1980s homes, simple gable forms, with a high incidence of multiple shingle layers from past re-roofs done over rather than tear-off. That matters to any quote here: a second or third layer must come off, and the decking underneath is frequently in worse shape than expected.
Snow load and ice damming
Around 5,600 feet with fast melt cycles. Freeze-thaw at the eave is the main mechanism rather than sustained load, and older homes with thin attic insulation dam ice more readily.
Wind exposure
Strong downslope winds off the front range, on older roofs with older fastening standards. Wind uplift on roofs installed to 1970s and 1980s practice is a materially different risk than on a modern install.
Security-Widefield sits at approximately 5,600 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 Security-Widefield 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 Security-Widefield
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.
