Asphalt shingles cover more than 80% of homes in Broomfield neighborhoods like Broadlands, Anthem Ranch, and Wildgrass. They’re popular for good reason: durability, affordability, and dozens of color options that complement Colorado’s landscapes. But Front Range weather punishes roofing materials harder than anywhere else in the country. That’s why the shingle you choose and the contractor who installs it matter just as much as the decision to reroof.
Types of Asphalt Shingles
Your shingle choice affects everything from curb appeal to how well your roof handles the next hailstorm rolling down from the Rockies. Here’s what Broomfield homeowners should know about their options.
3-Tab Shingles
These are the flat, uniform shingles you’ll see on older homes around Broomfield Heights and Northmoor Estates. Each shingle has three tabs that create a simple, clean appearance. They’re the most affordable option and work fine for budget-conscious projects or rental properties. However, they have a shorter lifespan (typically 15 to 20 years) and less wind resistance than architectural options. With Chinook winds hitting 50 to 60 mph regularly along the US 36 corridor, many homeowners choose to upgrade when replacing 3-tab roofs.
Architectural Shingles (Dimensional)
Architectural shingles have multiple layers of fiberglass-based material laminated together, creating depth and shadow lines that mimic the look of slate or cedar shakes. They’re thicker than 3-tab, which means better durability against hail impacts and wind uplift. Most homes built in the last 20 years in areas like McKay Landing, Aspen Creek, and near Flatiron Crossing came standard with architectural shingles. We install these on the majority of Broomfield roof replacements because they balance cost, appearance, and performance for Colorado conditions.
Designer and Premium Shingles
High-end options like Owens Corning Berkshire and Woodmoor replicate the look of natural slate or hand-split wood shakes. They carry the best warranties and highest impact ratings. Homes in Broomfield Country Club and the Interlocken area often feature premium shingles to match their architectural style.
Owens Corning Products We Install
As an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, we install their complete line of residential roofing products with access to extended warranty options.
Duration Series
The Duration shingle line is our most popular recommendation for Broomfield. These architectural shingles feature SureNail technology, a fabric strip in the nailing zone that improves holding power during high winds. That matters when severe weather rolls through the area between Standley Lake Regional Park and Paul Derda Recreation Center, where wind patterns can be unpredictable.
TruDefinition Duration
This upgraded version offers bolder color contrast and deeper shadow lines. Homeowners near Legacy High School and along 120th Avenue often choose TruDefinition for enhanced curb appeal without jumping to premium pricing.
Duration Storm
Impact-resistant shingles rated Class 4, the highest rating available. They’re designed specifically for hail-prone areas. Broomfield sits in what the industry calls “hail alley,” where golf ball to softball-sized hail is common from April through September. Duration Storm shingles can reduce insurance premiums and provide peace of mind during Colorado’s volatile spring and summer.
Shingle Color & Style Options
Choosing the right shingle color affects your home’s resale value and curb appeal. We offer free color consultations to help you match your roof to your siding, brick, and trim.
Owens Corning provides over 30 color options ranging from classic grays and blacks to earth tones that complement Colorado’s natural setting. Warm browns and tans work well with the stucco and stone exteriors common in Anthem Ranch and Willow Run. Cooler grays pair nicely with the contemporary architecture you’ll find near the 1stBank Center and Interlocken business district.
We bring full-size shingle samples to your home so you can see how colors look in natural sunlight against your existing exterior. Colorado’s intense UV exposure at 5,400 feet means colors appear differently here than in catalog photos or showroom lighting.
Shingle Lifespan & Warranty
Asphalt shingle lifespan depends on three factors: product quality, installation technique, and local weather conditions.
Typical Lifespans in Broomfield:
• 3-Tab shingles: 15 to 20 years
• Architectural shingles: 25 to 30 years
• Premium/Designer shingles: 30 to 50 years
These ranges assume proper installation and ventilation. Colorado’s freeze-thaw cycles, UV intensity, and hail exposure can shorten lifespan if the roof system isn’t installed correctly. That’s where our Owens Corning Preferred status protects you.
Warranty Protection
Through our certification, you can access Owens Corning’s extended warranty coverage that non-certified contractors can’t offer. The manufacturer stands behind both the materials and our installation workmanship. If something goes wrong with your shingles or our work, you have recourse that lasts decades, not just a few years.
We’ve been serving Broomfield since 2018 and our Sheridan Parkway office puts us minutes from anywhere in the city. Storm chasers leave town after they get paid. We live here and we’ll be here when your warranty matters.

Broomfield Asphalt Shingle Roofing Questions Answered
Questions & Answers
A full asphalt shingle roof replacement in Broomfield typically runs between $8,000 and $20,000 depending on roof size, pitch, and shingle type. Architectural shingles cost more upfront than 3-tab but last longer and handle Colorado hail better, making them the better long-term value. Your total price includes tear-off of existing shingles, new underlayment, ice and water shield in valleys and eaves, drip edge, flashing around vents and chimneys, and starter strips along the edges. Homes in Broadlands and Anthem Ranch with steeper pitches or multiple roof planes cost more due to added complexity and safety equipment. We provide free estimates with line-item breakdowns so you know exactly what you’re paying for. No hidden fees, no surprises.
Most Broomfield homes take one to three days for complete shingle replacement. A typical single-story home in Broomfield Heights or Willow Run with a straightforward roof design can often be completed in one day. Larger homes near Broomfield Country Club or properties with complex rooflines, multiple dormers, steep pitches, or extensive valley work take two to three days. Weather is the wildcard. We monitor forecasts closely and won’t tear off your existing roof if storms are predicted. During hail season from April through September, we sometimes need to pause mid-project. We protect exposed decking with tarps if weather moves in unexpectedly. Rebecca and Jeff keep you informed throughout the process.
We recommend architectural shingles for most Broomfield homeowners. The fiberglass mat in architectural shingles is thicker and the laminated construction handles Front Range hail impacts better than single-layer 3-tab. Architectural shingles also resist Chinook wind uplift more effectively, with many products rated for 130 mph winds. They last 25 to 30 years compared to 15 to 20 for 3-tab. The upfront cost difference is typically $1,500 to $3,000 on an average home, but you recover that through longer lifespan and fewer storm damage repairs. For homes along the US 36 corridor and near Standley Lake where wind exposure is higher, architectural shingles are the clear choice.
Earth tones and grays are popular in Broomfield because they complement the natural landscape and don’t show weathering as quickly. Warm browns like Owens Corning’s Brownwood and Desert Tan work well with the stucco and stone exteriors common in McKay Landing and Aspen Creek. Cooler grays like Estate Gray and Onyx Black pair nicely with contemporary architecture near Interlocken and the 1stBank Center area. We bring full-size shingle samples to your home so you can see colors in natural Colorado sunlight against your siding, brick, and trim. At 5,400 feet elevation, UV intensity makes colors appear different than catalog photos. Light-colored shingles reflect more heat, which can reduce attic temperatures in summer.
Yes, and many Broomfield homeowners see insurance premium discounts that offset the added cost within a few years. Broomfield sits in what the roofing industry calls “hail alley,” one of the highest hail frequency zones in the country. Class 4 impact-resistant shingles like Owens Corning Duration Storm are tested to withstand 2-inch steel ball impacts simulating large hail. Standard shingles can suffer granule loss, cracked fiberglass mats, and bruising from the same storm that leaves impact-resistant shingles undamaged. Homeowners in areas near Standley Lake Regional Park, along Rock Creek, and throughout the Wildgrass neighborhood often choose impact-rated products after experiencing hail damage firsthand. Check with your insurance carrier about available discounts before making your decision.
As an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, we can offer extended warranty coverage that non-certified contractors can’t access. The specific warranty depends on the product line you choose. Duration shingles come with a Limited Lifetime Warranty on materials. When you upgrade to the Preferred Protection Warranty through our certification, you also get workmanship coverage and non-prorated material replacement for the first 10 years. Some premium products offer up to 50 years of protection. These warranties transfer to new homeowners if you sell, which adds resale value. Our Sheridan Parkway office keeps records of every installation, so warranty claims are straightforward even years down the road. Storm chasers can’t offer this kind of long-term protection.
Warning signs include curling or buckling shingles, granule loss in your gutters, visible cracks, missing shingles, and leaks in the attic after rain. In Broomfield, UV exposure at 5,400 feet accelerates shingle aging faster than lower elevations. Homes near Paul Derda Recreation Center and along 120th Avenue also take wind stress from Chinook patterns that accelerate wear. After major hail events, especially during peak storm season in May and June, you should have your roof inspected even if you don’t see obvious damage from the ground. Hail can bruise shingles and compromise the fiberglass mat without visible surface cracks. We offer free inspections for homeowners in Broadlands, Northmoor Estates, Brandywine, and throughout Broomfield.
Do you help with insurance claims for hail-damaged roofs?
Yes. We handle insurance claims at no charge when you hire us for the work. After a storm moves through Broomfield, we’ll inspect your roof and document all damage with photos and measurements. We’ll meet with your adjuster on-site to walk through the damage together. Insurance companies use Xactimate software for estimates, and we know how to document damage in the format adjusters need. If your initial claim is underpaid, we help with supplements to get full coverage for necessary repairs. Our experience with Colorado insurance claims, including carriers like State Farm, Allstate, American Family, and USAA, means we know what adjusters look for. Homeowners near Legacy High School, Flatiron Crossing, and throughout the Broomfield area trust us to handle the paperwork while they focus on their families.
