What’s Included in a Professional Roof Installation
A durable roof is a system, not just shingles. Every New Heights install includes:
- Deck prep & repairs. We inspect and repair decking so fasteners bite and panels lay flat.
- Weatherproofing layers. Ice & water shield in eaves/valleys, synthetic underlayment, drip edge, and properly lapped flashings for chimneys, skylights, and sidewalls.
- Balanced ventilation. Intake (soffit) + exhaust (ridge/roof) to manage heat and moisture, protecting shingles and insulation.
- Manufacturer‑spec installation. Correct fastener count/patterns and sealed penetrations to preserve warranties.
- Detailed cleanup & walkthrough. Final magnet sweep and homeowner walkthrough before we call it complete.
Roofing Materials We Install
Architectural Asphalt Shingles (most popular)
Durable, HOA‑friendly profiles with options up to Class 4 impact‑resistant for hail zones—often eligible for insurance discounts; ask your carrier. Great balance of cost, curb appeal, and speed of install.
Standing Seam & Stone‑Coated Metal
Superior wind uplift resistance, long life, and striking modern or classic looks. Ideal for high‑sun, high‑wind exposures and lower maintenance goals.
Low‑Slope Systems (TPO/EPDM) for additions & porches
Clean seams, UV resistance, and proper edge metal/terminations keep low‑slope areas watertight.
Premium & Synthetic Options (composites, select tile)
Composite shakes/slates deliver high impact ratings with less weight than quarried materials—smart for snow‑load considerations.
Not sure what’s right for your home? We’ll price two or three options side‑by‑side so you can compare upfront cost, lifespan, and maintenance.

FAQ: Roof Repair — Fort Collins (common questions)
Do small roof repairs in Fort Collins need a permit?
The city requires a permit for roof repairs or replacements over 100 sq. ft. We’ll confirm scope during inspection and handle permitting when it applies.
Can you help with hail‑damage roof repair and the insurance process?
Yes—our team documents damage, meets the adjuster, and repairs to code. Start here: Insurance Claim Assistance.
How fast can you fix a leaking roof?
We prioritize active leaks with Emergency Roof Services (tarping/mitigation) and then complete permanent repairs as weather allows.
Repair or replace—which is smarter?
If your roof is within its useful life and damage is isolated, repair is often best. For widespread or recurring issues, replacement can cost less over time. Read: Roof Repairs vs. Replacements.
What kinds of roof repairs do you handle?
Shingle replacement, flashing and valley repairs, chimney and skylight leaks, ventilation fixes, and storm‑damage remediation across Larimer and Weld counties.
Are Class 4 impact‑resistant shingles worth it in Fort Collins?
For hail‑exposed neighborhoods, Class 4 can reduce future repair frequency and may qualify for insurance discounts—ask your carrier.
Do you offer same‑day storm inspections after wind or hail?
We do our best to respond quickly after major weather events; start with a free inspection request so we can triage your project. Contact
Can roof repairs be done in winter?
Yes—many repairs proceed safely in cold weather using approved cold‑applied methods; we’ll assess on site and schedule a safe weather window.
