Colorado Storm Damage FAQs

Direct answer: Most Colorado storm and hail damage to your home exterior can be covered by insurance for one to three years after the event. The sooner you document and file, the more likely the repairs are covered rather than paid out of pocket. See our insurance and storm damage guidance for the full claim process.

Will my insurance go up if I file a claim for storm damage?
If your property is located in an area that has been recently hit with a hail storm, your insurance premium can go up whether you file a claim or not.
Will my insurance cover storm damage from previous years?
In our experience, most insurance companies will cover storm or hail damages to your home exterior for one to three years. The longer you wait, the more likely it is that you will have to pay for repairs out of pocket. Contact us for a FREE inspection today!
How should I proceed after damage caused by a winter storm?
Reach out to Precision Exteriors Restoration immediately. You may be able to file a claim with your insurance company to have the damage repaired at no cost to you. A specialist will come out and inspect your exterior and document the storm damage. We can provide this information to your insurance company to help with your claim. Learn more on our storm damage and hail damage pages.

Colorado Roof Replacement and Repair FAQs

Direct answer: Most Colorado roofs should be inspected at least once a year, ideally before storm season. Asphalt shingle roofs typically last 15 to 25 years, while metal and tile roofs can last 50 years or more, so a professional inspection is the fastest way to decide between roof repair and roof replacement. Explore our roof replacement , roof repair , and repair vs replacement Denver guides.

How often should I get my roof inspected?
We recommend you have your roof checked annually. Ideally, you’d want to get your roof inspected prior to storm season. If you do get a heavy rain or hail storm, have your roof checked again to ensure there are no hidden damages. Inclement weather slowly degrades your roof, causing composite materials to break down, crack, or leak. We always recommend having a qualified roofing contractor to handle your inspection. Many times, this service is free and can be completed in less than an hour. It’s also a good idea to take pictures before and after a storm so you can present this information to your insurance company if you have to file a claim. Book a free roof inspection any time.
When should I repair or replace my home roof?
It’s important to keep an eye out for signs of damage such as cracked or missing shingles, leaks, and sagging. If the damage is extensive or the roof is nearing the end of its expected lifespan, replacement may be a better long-term solution. A professional roof inspection can help determine the best course of action.
How long do roofs in CO typically last?
