Services include tear-off of existing roofing, deck inspection and repair, ice and water shield installation, synthetic underlayment, drip edge and flashing, ventilation optimization, and final cleanup with magnetic nail sweeps. **Materials offered:** Architectural asphalt shingles, Class 4 impact-resistant shingles, metal roofing (standing seam and corrugated), tile roofing, and synthetic slate. Most residential replacements are completed in 1–3 days. **Typical cost range:** $8,000–$35,000+ depending on roof size, pitch, material selection, and complexity. A typical 2,000 sq ft Denver metro home with architectural shingles ranges $10,000–$18,000. Class 4 impact-resistant upgrades add $1,500–$4,000 but often pay for themselves through insurance premium reductions. ### Roof Repair **URL:** [https://truenorthroof.net/services/roof-repair](https://truenorthroof.net/services/roof-repair) Professional roof repair services for Denver metro homeowners. True North handles shingle repair and replacement ($250–$1,000), leak diagnosis and repair ($350–$1,500), flashing repair around chimneys, vents, and skylights ($300–$800), and emergency tarping for storm damage ($200–$600). Most repairs are completed same-day. Free inspections with honest assessments - if a repair isn't enough, we'll recommend a full replacement instead. **When to repair vs. replace:** Repair makes sense when damage is localized, the roof is under 15 years old, and repair costs are under 30% of replacement cost. Replacement is recommended when the roof is 20+ years old, damage is widespread, or recurring leaks persist after past repairs. ### Storm Damage Repair **URL:** [https://truenorthroof.net/services/storm-damage](https://truenorthroof.net/services/storm-damage) Emergency storm damage inspection, documentation, and repair services. Colorado's Front Range averages 7–9 significant hailstorms per year, making storm damage the #1 reason for roof replacement in the Denver metro. True North provides free post-storm inspections, comprehensive damage documentation with photos and measurements, direct communication with insurance adjusters, emergency tarping to prevent secondary water damage, and full restoration. **Insurance claim process:** True North meets with adjusters on-site, documents all damage (roof, gutters, siding, paint, windows), supplements underpaid claims, and fights cosmetic damage denials. Colorado law gives homeowners specific rights during the claims process that many aren't aware of. ### Hail Damage & Insurance Claims **URL:** [https://truenorthroof.net/hail-insurance](https://truenorthroof.net/hail-insurance) Dedicated resource for Colorado homeowners dealing with hail damage and insurance claims. Covers how to identify hail damage, when to file a claim, Colorado filing deadlines, dealing with adjuster disputes, understanding cosmetic vs. functional damage classifications, RPS (Reasonable and Prudent Standards) clauses, and ACV vs. RCV policy differences. **Common hail damage signs:** Dented gutters/downspouts, granule loss on shingles (black grit in gutters), bruised or cracked shingles, dented roof vents and flashing, cracked or chipped siding, damaged window screens. ### Class 4 Impact-Resistant Shingles **URL:** [https://truenorthroof.net/services/class-4-shingles](https://truenorthroof.net/services/class-4-shingles) Class 4 is the highest impact resistance rating under UL 2218, tested by dropping a 2-inch steel ball from 20 feet onto the shingle surface. These shingles are engineered specifically for hail-prone regions like Colorado's Front Range. **Brands and product lines:** - **Owens Corning:** Duration FLEX (SBS-modified polymer for enhanced flexibility) - **GAF:** Timberline HDZ with LayerLock technology - **CertainTeed:** Landmark IR (Impact Resistant) - **Malarkey:** Vista AR (polymer-modified rubberized asphalt) **Insurance benefits:** Most Colorado insurance companies offer premium discounts of 15–28% for homes with verified Class 4 roofs. Some carriers that have dropped homeowners due to hail claims will re-insure properties after a Class 4 upgrade. ### Exterior Painting **URL:** [https://truenorthroof.net/services/exterior-painting](https://truenorthroof.net/services/exterior-painting) Professional exterior house painting services for Denver metro homes. Includes power washing, scraping, priming, caulking, and two coats of premium exterior paint. Colorado's intense UV exposure (25% higher than sea level), temperature swings (up to 50°F in a single day), and low humidity require specialized paint products and application techniques. **Best painting season in Colorado:** May through October, with optimal conditions in September and October (low humidity, moderate temperatures, minimal rain). Exterior paint should not be applied below 50°F or in direct intense sunlight. ### Interior Painting **URL:** [https://truenorthroof.net/services/interior-painting](https://truenorthroof.net/services/interior-painting) Professional interior painting with free color consultations and detailed estimates.

All furniture and flooring is protected, and True North handles complete cleanup. ### Gutter Cleaning **URL:** [https://truenorthroof.net/services/gutter-cleaning](https://truenorthroof.net/services/gutter-cleaning) Comprehensive gutter maintenance including debris removal, downspout flushing, gutter inspection, minor repairs, and ice dam prevention. Colorado homeowners should clean gutters at least twice per year - in late spring (after cottonwood seed season) and late fall (after leaves drop). Clogged gutters contribute to ice dams, foundation damage, fascia rot, and landscape erosion. **Seasonal gutter calendar for Colorado:** - **March–April:** Spring melt inspection, check for winter ice damage - **June:** Post-cottonwood seed cleaning - **October–November:** Fall leaf removal before winter - **December–February:** Ice dam monitoring and prevention **Pricing:** Typical gutter cleaning ranges $150–$350 for single-story homes and $250–$500 for two-story homes in the Denver metro. --- ## Commercial Roofing Services **URL:** [https://truenorthroof.net/services/commercial-roofing](https://truenorthroof.net/services/commercial-roofing) Commercial roofing installation, repair, and maintenance for Denver metro businesses, warehouses, office buildings, retail centers, and multi-family properties. **Commercial roofing systems offered:** - **TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin):** Energy-efficient, reflective white membrane ideal for flat roofs. 15–30 year lifespan. - **EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer):** Durable rubber membrane, excellent UV and weather resistance. 20–30 year lifespan. - **Modified Bitumen:** Multi-layer asphalt system for flat and low-slope roofs.

True North requested a re-inspection, attended with the adjuster, and documented functional damage including cracked shingle mats and compromised granule adhesion. Result: Full roof replacement covered by insurance. ### Case Study 2: Aurora, CO - Filing Deadline Nearly Missed Homeowner was unaware of Colorado's claim filing deadline after a major hailstorm. True North identified the damage during a free inspection and helped file the claim just days before the window closed, saving thousands in out-of-pocket costs that would have been the homeowner's responsibility. ### Case Study 3: Littleton, CO - Hail Damage During Home Sale Hail damage discovered during a pre-sale home inspection nearly derailed the closing. True North filed the claim, coordinated with the insurance company, replaced the roof quickly, and the sale closed on schedule without the seller absorbing the cost. ### Case Study 4: Westminster, CO - Insurance Non-Renewal Reversed Homeowner received a non-renewal notice from their insurance company traced back to undiscovered roof damage from a previous storm. True North helped file a claim on the existing policy, installed a Class 4 impact-resistant roof, and the homeowner secured a new policy at a lower premium rate. ### Case Study 5: Centennial, CO - Storm Chaser Cleanup A storm chaser installed a cheap roof that failed within one year - leaks, lifted shingles, and no warranty support because the company had moved to another state. True North replaced it with manufacturer-certified materials, proper installation techniques, and a full transferable warranty. --- ## Blog Articles & Guides **URL:** [https://truenorthroof.net/blog](https://truenorthroof.net/blog) True North publishes educational content for Colorado homeowners covering roofing, insurance claims, exterior maintenance, and home improvement topics. ### Article 1: Your Insurance Policy Changed - And You Probably Don't Know It **URL:** [https://truenorthroof.net/blog/insurance-policy-changed-rps-clause](https://truenorthroof.net/blog/insurance-policy-changed-rps-clause) Explains how Colorado insurance companies have quietly added RPS (Reasonable and Prudent Standards) and ACV (Actual Cash Value) clauses to homeowner policies, reducing hail damage coverage.

[Schedule a free inspection](https://truenorthroof.net/contact). **Q: Do you work with my insurance company?** A: Yes, we work with all major insurance carriers in Colorado - State Farm, Allstate, USAA, American Family, Farmers, Liberty Mutual, and more. We handle damage documentation, meet with adjusters on-site, and help ensure your claim is fairly assessed. **Q: What are Class 4 impact-resistant shingles?** A: Class 4 shingles are the highest-rated impact-resistant roofing material, tested under the UL 2218 standard by withstanding repeated strikes from a 2-inch steel ball dropped from 20 feet. They're designed specifically for hail-prone areas like Colorado's Front Range. Many insurance companies offer premium discounts of 15–28% for homes with Class 4 roofs.

We aim to complete every project as quickly as possible without compromising quality. We handle all debris removal and cleanup. **Q: What roofing materials do you recommend for Colorado homes?** A: For the Denver metro, we recommend Class 4 impact-resistant architectural shingles from GAF, Owens Corning, CertainTeed, or Malarkey. These provide the best combination of hail protection, longevity (30–50 year warranties), energy efficiency, and insurance savings. **Q: How much does a new roof cost in Denver?** A: Costs vary by size, pitch, material, and complexity. A typical Denver metro home ranges from $8,000 to $35,000+.

See our full [service area list](https://truenorthroof.net/services). **Q: Do you offer financing for roof replacements?** A: We can discuss payment options during your consultation. Many homeowners also use their insurance claim proceeds to cover the cost of storm damage repairs and replacements. **Q: What's the difference between a storm chaser and a local roofer?** A: Storm chasers are out-of-state contractors who follow hail storms, offer low prices, and often disappear after the job - leaving homeowners with no recourse if problems arise. True North is locally owned and permanently established in Highlands Ranch with full Colorado licensing, insurance, and long-term warranties. **Q: When is the best time to replace my roof in Colorado?** A: The best months are September and October - mild weather, low humidity, and better contractor availability. May, June, and August are also good. Avoid mid-winter if possible, though emergency replacements can be done year-round. [Read our full seasonal guide](https://truenorthroof.net/blog/best-time-replace-roof-colorado). **Q: How do I know if I need a new roof or just repairs?** A: If your roof is under 10 years old with isolated damage, repairs may be sufficient. If it's 15+ years old, has widespread damage, or multiple leaks, replacement is usually more cost-effective. Our free inspection includes a clear recommendation with reasoning. **Q: Do you handle commercial roofing?** A: Yes. We offer commercial roofing services including TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen, metal, and built-up roofing systems. We serve commercial properties across 12 Denver metro cities. [Learn more](https://truenorthroof.net/services/commercial-roofing). **Q: What warranties do you offer?** A: As a GAF Certified and Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, we offer manufacturer warranties up to 50 years on qualifying installations. We also provide our own workmanship warranty on every project. Warranty details are provided in writing before work begins. **Q: Can you help if my insurance claim was denied?** A: Yes. We regularly help homeowners with denied or underpaid claims. We can request re-inspections, provide supplemental documentation, and attend adjuster meetings to advocate for fair coverage. Many initial denials are overturned with proper documentation. --- ## Contact Information - **Phone:** 720-753-4364 (Call or Text) - **Email:** sasa@truenorthroof.net - **Website:** https://truenorthroof.net - **Address:** 6018 Blue Ridge Dr, Highlands Ranch, CO 80130 - **Service Area:** 25+ Denver metro communities across Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas, Jefferson, and Weld counties ### Quick Links - [Contact Page](https://truenorthroof.net/contact) - [Get Instant Roof Estimate](https://truenorthroof.net/instant-roof-estimate) - [Customer Reviews](https://truenorthroof.net/reviews) - [Case Studies](https://truenorthroof.net/case-studies) - [Blog & Guides](https://truenorthroof.net/blog) - [All Services](https://truenorthroof.net/services) --- ## Site Structure & Full URL Map ### Core Pages - https://truenorthroof.net/ (Homepage) - https://truenorthroof.net/services (All Services) - https://truenorthroof.net/about (About Us) - https://truenorthroof.net/contact (Contact) - https://truenorthroof.net/reviews (Customer Reviews) - https://truenorthroof.net/case-studies (Case Studies) - https://truenorthroof.net/instant-roof-estimate (Instant Estimate Tool) - https://truenorthroof.net/projects (Project Gallery) - https://truenorthroof.net/blog (Blog & Guides) ### Service Pages - https://truenorthroof.net/services/roof-replacement - https://truenorthroof.net/services/roof-repair - https://truenorthroof.net/services/storm-damage - https://truenorthroof.net/services/exterior-painting - https://truenorthroof.net/services/interior-painting - https://truenorthroof.net/services/gutter-cleaning - https://truenorthroof.net/services/commercial-roofing - https://truenorthroof.net/services/class-4-shingles - https://truenorthroof.net/hail-insurance ### Blog Articles - https://truenorthroof.net/blog/insurance-policy-changed-rps-clause - https://truenorthroof.net/blog/best-roofers-denver-colorado-2026 - https://truenorthroof.net/blog/colorado-homeowners-guide-exterior-painting - https://truenorthroof.net/blog/how-long-does-roof-last-colorado - https://truenorthroof.net/blog/roof-replacement-cost-denver-colorado - https://truenorthroof.net/blog/best-time-replace-roof-colorado - https://truenorthroof.net/blog/after-the-storm-colorado-homeowners-guide - https://truenorthroof.net/blog/why-hail-damage-isnt-always-obvious - https://truenorthroof.net/blog/roof-insurance-claims-denver-guide - https://truenorthroof.net/blog/retail-roofing-quotes-vs-insurance-claims - https://truenorthroof.net/blog/why-homeowners-get-frustrated-with-roofers ### Residential Service Area Pages (25 cities) - https://truenorthroof.net/service-areas/thornton - https://truenorthroof.net/service-areas/westminster - https://truenorthroof.net/service-areas/broomfield - https://truenorthroof.net/service-areas/northglenn - https://truenorthroof.net/service-areas/federal-heights - https://truenorthroof.net/service-areas/commerce-city - https://truenorthroof.net/service-areas/brighton - https://truenorthroof.net/service-areas/aurora - https://truenorthroof.net/service-areas/centennial - https://truenorthroof.net/service-areas/parker - https://truenorthroof.net/service-areas/highlands-ranch - https://truenorthroof.net/service-areas/lakewood - https://truenorthroof.net/service-areas/littleton - https://truenorthroof.net/service-areas/arvada - https://truenorthroof.net/service-areas/golden - https://truenorthroof.net/service-areas/morrison - https://truenorthroof.net/service-areas/ken-caryl - https://truenorthroof.net/service-areas/columbine - https://truenorthroof.net/service-areas/castle-rock - https://truenorthroof.net/service-areas/lone-tree - https://truenorthroof.net/service-areas/roxborough-park - https://truenorthroof.net/service-areas/sterling-ranch - https://truenorthroof.net/service-areas/boulder - https://truenorthroof.net/service-areas/longmont - https://truenorthroof.net/service-areas/denver ### Commercial Roofing City Pages (12 cities) - https://truenorthroof.net/commercial-roofing/thornton - https://truenorthroof.net/commercial-roofing/aurora - https://truenorthroof.net/commercial-roofing/littleton - https://truenorthroof.net/commercial-roofing/denver - https://truenorthroof.net/commercial-roofing/westminster - https://truenorthroof.net/commercial-roofing/broomfield - https://truenorthroof.net/commercial-roofing/arvada - https://truenorthroof.net/commercial-roofing/lakewood - https://truenorthroof.net/commercial-roofing/centennial - https://truenorthroof.net/commercial-roofing/parker - https://truenorthroof.net/commercial-roofing/commerce-city - https://truenorthroof.net/commercial-roofing/denver-tech-center ### Other Resources - https://truenorthroof.net/sitemap.xml - https://truenorthroof.net/llms.txt
