Colorado's Front Range has some of the most active hail seasons in the country. When your roof is damaged — by hail, wind, or general wear — we connect Durango and La Plata County homeowners with local contractors who provide honest assessments and solid repairs.
Common Roof Repairs
The most common roof problems in Durango are hail damage that bruises or punctures shingles, wind damage that lifts edges and ridges, flashing failures around chimneys and skylights, and aging granule loss on older shingles. What actually fails, and how it gets fixed, depends heavily on what the roof is made of:
- Asphalt shingles — hail bruising that breaks the fiberglass mat under the granules (often invisible until an inspector checks close up), wind-lifted tabs where the seal strip has released, and granule loss on older roofs.
- Metal roofing — fasteners backed out or missing washers, sealant failed at seams and penetrations, and hail denting that's frequently cosmetic but can still open a leak path where panels meet.
- Concrete and clay tile — individual cracked or displaced tiles, and aged underlayment beneath tile that looks fine from the ground, which is the more common reason a tile roof actually leaks.
- Flat and low-slope membrane — ponding water, seam separation, and blistering, more common on additions and outbuildings than the main house roof.
- Flashing at chimneys, skylights, valleys, and pipe boots — a leading leak source on every material type, hail or no hail.
