Greenwood Village Roofing FAQ

Yes. The city requires a building permit for new installation or replacement of 100 square feet or more of roof covering. Repairs under 100 square feet are exempt. We pull the permit through the Community Development Department's Building Division as part of every job.

The city. Greenwood Village is a home rule city with its own Building Division at 6060 S Quebec St. Arapahoe County does not handle Village roofing permits, though a county open space tax is collected with the city's permit fees.

Fees are valuation based and include a permit fee, plan review fee, use tax and the Arapahoe County Open Space tax. The city provides a fee estimate calculator, and we run your exact scope through it so the number lands in the written quote, not as a surprise.

No. The city's July 2026 roofing guidelines state mid-roof inspections are not required for reroofing projects unless the Building Division directs otherwise. New construction tile and metal systems do have a mid-roof step, which we schedule.

The city designs to 100 mph three second gusts and 30 psf snow load under the 2018 codes. Requirements include ice barrier extending 24 inches inside the exterior wall line at eaves, metal drip edge at eaves and rakes, six fasteners per asphalt shingle, and minimum slopes of 4:12 for asphalt and shake and 3:12 for most tile.

Yes, but if the new material increases the roof's dead load, asphalt to tile for example, the city requires a structural evaluation or truss verification letter sealed by a Colorado licensed design professional before the permit issues. We coordinate that letter.

July 9, 2026: hail to 1.5 inches on the Village and nearby suburbs, quarter size in the Denver Tech Center, with 60 mph gusts. The NOAA file also shows 2 inch and 2.75 inch stones in June 2018, plus events in 2016, 2019 and 2024.

Yes. We inspect first and give an honest verdict, document damage slope by slope with photos, provide a line item scope, and attend the adjuster meeting. The claim itself is yours to file; Colorado law rightly keeps contractors out of the policyholder's seat.

No. Colorado law prohibits contractors from paying, waiving or rebating insurance deductibles, and any company offering to is proposing fraud that lands on the homeowner. You also have a 72 hour right to rescind a roofing contract when a claim is involved.

Weekly. Tile is common across the east side neighborhoods and the city's guidelines carry dedicated tile and cedar shake sections. We repair, restore and replace both, including tile underlayment restorations that add decades without changing the roof's look.

Most asphalt roofs take one to three days on site. Tile and complex customs run longer. The city permit allows six months to complete, so weather delays never force rushed work.

We hold the city's roofing trade license, which requires proof of licensing or certification plus a certificate of insurance with one million dollars in general liability coverage on file with the Building Division.
