When it’s time to replace your roof, choosing the right contractor can make all the difference. At Family Roofing, we pride ourselves on delivering a seamless, high-quality re-roofing experience tailored to your needs. Whether your roof has suffered storm damage, is showing signs of wear, or you simply want an upgrade, our comprehensive re-roofing process ensures durability, efficiency, and peace of mind. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps of our re-roofing process, highlight our premium materials and services, and explain why Family Roofing is the trusted choice for homeowners across Colorado.

Why Re-Roofing Matters

Your roof is your home’s first line of defense against the elements. Over time, exposure to wind, hail, snow, and sun can degrade even the best roofs, leading to leaks, energy loss, and structural issues. Re-roofing not only restores your home’s protection but also enhances its curb appeal and value. At Family Roofing, we approach every project with precision and care, ensuring your new roof stands the test of time—especially in Colorado’s unpredictable climate.

Here’s how we do it:

Step 1: Roof Inspection and Assessment

The re-roofing process begins with a thorough evaluation of your existing roof. At Family Roofing, we don’t cut corners—our detailed inspection sets the stage for a successful project.

Initial Evaluation

Our expert team starts by examining every aspect of your current roof. We look for signs of damage such as missing shingles, cracks, or leaks, and assess the roof’s overall condition. This step helps us determine the scope of the project and identify any underlying issues that need to be addressed.

Decking Inspection

The decking—your roof’s structural foundation—is critical to a long-lasting roof. We meticulously inspect the decking for rot, decay, or damage caused by moisture or pests. Any compromised areas are documented, ensuring nothing is overlooked before we proceed.

Step 2: Decking Replacement

Once the inspection is complete, we move on to preparing your roof for its new covering.

Removal of Old Roofing Material

Our team carefully removes the existing roofing material, exposing the decking underneath. This step is performed with precision to avoid unnecessary damage to your home while ensuring a clean slate for the new installation.

Replacement and Repair

If we discover damaged or decayed decking during the inspection, we replace it with high-quality materials. A solid foundation is essential for your new roof’s performance, and we take pride in ensuring your decking is in top shape before moving forward.

Step 3: Material Selection and Installation

Choosing the right roofing material is one of the most important decisions in the re-roofing process. At Family Roofing, we offer a variety of premium options to suit your style, budget, and performance needs.

High-Quality Options

We provide a range of roofing materials, including:

  • Asphalt Shingles: A cost-effective, reliable choice for many homeowners.
  • Impact-Resistant Shingles: Built to withstand severe weather and reduce insurance premiums.
  • Solar-Reflective Shingles: Designed to lower energy costs by reflecting sunlight.
  • Presidential Shingles: A premium option mimicking cedar-shake roofs with exceptional durability.

No matter your choice, we source materials from trusted manufacturers like Owens Corning and GAF, ensuring top-tier quality.

Expert Installation

Our skilled team handles the installation with precision, adhering to industry standards and manufacturer guidelines. Proper installation is key to maximizing your roof’s lifespan and performance, and we take every detail seriously—from alignment to ventilation.

Step 4: Navigating Insurance Claims with Expertise

Re-roofing can often involve insurance claims, especially after storm damage. Family Roofing simplifies this process, helping you get the coverage you deserve.

Like Kind and Quality

Insurance policies typically cover replacement with materials of “like kind and quality” to your existing roof. We work closely with you to understand your policy and ensure your claim reflects the full scope of necessary repairs or upgrades.

Upgraded Standards

At Family Roofing, we go beyond the basics. For example:

  • No 3-Tab Shingles: We avoid installing 3-tab shingles, which have a low wind rating of 60 mph and are less durable in Colorado’s high-wind conditions.
  • Dimensional Asphalt Shingles: Instead, we upgrade all 3-tab roofs to dimensional shingles, which offer a 130 mph wind rating and a 30-year manufacturer’s warranty. This upgrade provides superior protection and peace of mind.

Specialized Roofing Products

As a preferred contractor with Owens Corning and GAF, Family Roofing offers access to some of the best roofing products on the market. Here are a few standout options:

Impact-Resistant Shingles

These shingles are engineered to endure hail, wind, and other extreme weather. Beyond their durability, they often qualify homeowners for insurance premium discounts, making them a smart investment.

Solar-Reflective Shingles

Energy efficiency is a growing priority for homeowners. Solar-reflective shingles deflect sunlight, reducing heat buildup in your home and lowering cooling costs—especially during Colorado’s sunny summers.

Presidential Shingles

For a premium look and performance, Presidential shingles replicate the rustic charm of cedar-shake roofs. With a 50-year warranty, they combine elegance with unmatched durability.

Additional Benefits of Choosing Family Roofing

At Family Roofing, we don’t just install roofs—we provide a full-service experience designed to exceed your expectations.

5 to 10-Year Workmanship Warranty

We stand behind our work with a 5-year workmanship warranty as standard. Opt for Owens Corning products and leave an honest Google review, and we’ll upgrade that to a 10-year workmanship warranty, plus a 30-year (non-prorated) material warranty backed by Owens Corning. This gives you confidence in your investment for decades to come.

Spanish-Speaking Services

We’re committed to serving our diverse community. Our Spanish-speaking team ensures clear, accessible communication throughout your re-roofing project, making the process smooth and stress-free.

Family Incentives

As a family-oriented company, we offer special promotions and discounts to make our services more affordable. Contact us at Family Roofing to learn about current family incentives and how you can save.

Insurance Certification

After your project is complete, we provide an invoice, warranty certificate, and a letter confirming the use of impact-resistant shingles. Submit these to your insurance agent to secure discounts on your homeowners insurance premiums—a valuable perk of working with us.
