Frequently Asked Questions

Roofing damage isn’t always obvious, but being able to spot the signs early can save you from costly repairs down the line. Here’s what we recommend after severe weather:

• After high winds: Take a walk around your property and look for shingles on the ground. Then, from a safe vantage point, check if any shingles are visibly lifted or missing from your roof. Keep an ear out of any flapping sounds coming from your roof, as well.
• After a hailstorm: If you have asphalt shingles, look for indentations where granules are missing.For metal roofs, dents are a typical sign of roof damage.Different roofs present different symptoms of hail damage, so make sure to reach out to a roofing expert to do a full inspection of your property. Damage to other more visible items of your home or property, such as your car, gutters, downspouts, or windows is also a telling sign that your roof could be damaged.

Hail damage can be quite serious, depending on the size and intensity of the hailstones.It can lead to issues like dents in metal roofing, cracks or punctures in shingles, and loss of granules on asphalt shingles. Over time, even minor hail damage can compromise the integrity of your roof, leading to leaks, water damage, and reduced lifespan of the roofing materials.

While you can't control the weather, there are steps you can take to reduce the impact of hail on your roof. You could try installing impact-resistant roofing materials, such as Class 4 asphalt shingles or metal roofing, which are designed to withstand hail better. Additionally, regular maintenance and inspections can help ensure your roof is in good condition and can better handle severe weather.

Class 4 shingles are a type of impact-resistant roofing material specifically designed to withstand severe weather conditions, including hail. These shingles are rated on a scale of 1 to 4 by Underwriters Laboratories (UL), with Class 4 being the highest rating. Class4 shingles are made with advanced materials that enhance their durability and resilience, making them an excellent choice for homeowners in regions prone to hailstorms.

There are several signs that might indicate you need a new roof:

• Your roof is over 20 years old
• You see shingles that are cracked, curled, or missing
• There's daylight coming through your roof boards
• You notice granules in your gutters
• Your roof is sagging
• You see dark streaks on your roof
• You're experiencing leaks or water stains inside your home

If you notice any of these signs, it's best to schedule a professional inspection. Our team at Mile Hi Roofing can provide a thorough assessment and honest recommendations.

The lifespan of a roof depends on various factors, including the material used, installation quality, and local climate. Here are some general estimates:

• Asphalt shingles: 20-30 years
• Metal roofs: 40-70 years
• Concrete tiles: 50+ years
• Wood shakes: 20-40 years

In Denver's climate, with its intense sun, heavy snowfall, and occasional hailstorms, roofs may wear out faster. Regular maintenance can help extend your roof's lifespan.

Most residential roof replacements can be completed in 1-3 days, depending on the size and complexity of the roof. Commercial projects may take longer. We always strive to work efficiently while ensuring high-quality results.

Your roof is a significant investment, and with proper care, you can maximize its lifespan. Here are some tips to help your roof go the extra mile:

• Keep your gutters clean: Clogged gutters can lead to water backup and damage to your roof's edge. Clean them at least twice a year(do this more often if you have overhanging trees).
• Address minor repairs promptly: Don’t wait for small issues to become bigger ones. If you notice any minor leaks or missing shingles, get them fixed as soon as you can.
• Consider a protective coating: For certain kinds of roofs (especially for flat or low-slope roofs), a protective coating can add years to its life. Ask us about coating options suitable for your specific roof type.
• Schedule an annual roof inspection: Sometimes, your roof won’t show overt signs that it’s in trouble. Scheduling an annual roof inspection can help you catch small issues that are easily overlooked so you can address and repair them accordingly.
