Trusted Roof Repair Broomfield Professionals
ATS Exteriors has repaired roofs across Broomfield and Westminster for 7 years, bringing over 15 years of roofing experience to every repair job. We’re Owens Corning Preferred contractors, which means we’ve met their installation and quality standards. We know what Colorado weather does to roofing systems. Hail cracks sealant bonds and bruises shingles. Wind tears off material that’s already brittle from UV exposure at high altitude. Ice dams form when our wild temperature swings create freeze-thaw cycles overnight.
We’ve fixed roofs in Broadlands, Anthem Ranch, McKay Landing, Broomfield Heights, and across Westminster neighborhoods like Legacy Ridge, The Ranch, and Walnut Grove. Rebecca and Jeff Stakes personally handle every roof repair because they know shortcuts today become failures tomorrow. Most contractors push replacements because that’s where the money is. We’ll fix what can be fixed and keep you as a customer for life. We are the trusted experts for roof repair Broomfield chooses.
Common Roof Problems We Fix
Wind damage happens year-round here, not just during storms. Chinook winds roar down from the Rockies reaching 50-60 mph on random winter days. They find loose shingle edges and peel them back. If shingles were already brittle from sun exposure, they snap off completely. We see this constantly on south and west-facing slopes that take the most sun and wind. Homes along Sheridan Parkway, Midway Boulevard, and Highway 36 corridor get hammered by prevailing westerly winds.
Hail damage creates bruises in shingles where impacts compressed the material. Sometimes you can’t see damage from the ground, but up close the granules are knocked off and asphalt is exposed. Those spots fail fast because UV hits unprotected material. We’ve repaired hail damage across Aspen Creek, Willow Run, and Northmoor Estates after every major storm that sweeps through during Colorado’s April through September hail season.
Flashing problems show up around chimneys, skylights, roof valleys, and where different roof planes meet. Flashing is thin metal that diverts water away from vulnerable spots. When sealant fails or metal corrodes, water gets under the flashing and into your roof deck. Flashing repairs are common in older Brandywine and Broomfield Country Club homes where original installations are 20+ years old. We’ve also fixed newer homes in Westminster Hills and The Farm where flashing was installed incorrectly from day one.
Roof Leak Repair Broomfield
Roof leak repair in Broomfield starts with finding the source, which isn’t always where you see water inside your home. Water can travel along roof decking or rafters before dripping through your ceiling. A leak in your bedroom might come from a problem 10 feet away on the roof. We’ve traced leaks in Countryside and Hyland Greens homes that originated 15 feet from where water appeared on ceilings.
We inspect the entire roof system, not just the obvious problem area. If there’s one leak, there are usually weak spots elsewhere that’ll fail soon. We look for missing shingles, cracked sealant, damaged flashing, clogged valleys, and signs of previous repairs that didn’t hold. We check attic ventilation because poor airflow causes moisture problems that look like leaks but come from condensation inside your attic space.
Small leaks cause big damage if you ignore them. Water soaks insulation, which loses R-value and grows mold. It rots roof decking, which means replacing plywood before we can patch shingles. It stains ceilings and walls, which means interior repairs on top of roofing costs. We’ve seen homeowners wait six months to fix a small leak around a skylight, and by the time they called us, what should have been a simple flashing repair turned into replacing half the roof deck and insulation.
Emergency leak repairs happen when water is actively coming in during storms. We’ll tarp the damaged area to stop water intrusion, then come back when weather allows for permanent repairs. We respond to emergency calls across Cotton Creek, Legacy Ridge, and throughout our service area as fast as weather permits. Our office is 500 feet from the Westminster border on Sheridan Parkway, so response times are quick for both cities.
Most leaks we repair involve flashing failures around penetrations. Chimneys, skylights, plumbing vents, and exhaust vents all require metal flashing sealed with caulking. Colorado’s temperature swings expand and contract materials, which breaks sealant bonds. UV at high altitude degrades caulking faster than at sea level. We replace failed sealant, repair bent or corroded flashing, and reinstall everything properly so it lasts.
Emergency Roof Repair
We offer 24/7 emergency response because Colorado storms don’t care about business hours. When you call our emergency line, you talk to a real person who can dispatch help, not an answering service taking messages. We ask about the damage, your location, and whether you’re dealing with active water intrusion. For urgent situations in Broomfield or Westminster, we can usually get there within 2-4 hours depending on conditions and whether it’s safe to work.
Emergency tarping is the fastest way to stop damage. We use heavy-duty tarps designed for roofing emergencies and secure them properly so wind doesn’t tear them off. We’ve seen contractors use cheap blue tarps from hardware stores that rip apart in the next windstorm. Professional tarps are thick, UV-resistant, and properly anchored. They’re temporary, usually good for a few weeks to a few months while you get estimates and schedule permanent repairs.
We’ve handled emergency calls across Broadlands after severe hail storms, in Anthem Ranch when high winds tore off ridge caps, and throughout McKay Landing when spring ice dams caused sudden flooding in attics. Distance doesn’t matter when you’ve got water pouring through your ceiling at midnight. We get there as fast as we safely can and stop the damage before it spreads to ceilings, walls, and insulation.
Emergency repairs sometimes become permanent repairs if damage is isolated and conditions allow proper work. If a fallen branch punched three holes in your roof and weather is decent, we might be able to patch it correctly the same day instead of just tarping. We carry common repair materials on emergency trucks for this reason. Other times, tarping is all we can do safely until weather cooperates for permanent work.
Shingle Repair
Shingle repair in Broomfield ranges from replacing a few missing pieces to patching entire sections damaged by storms. The challenge isn’t the installation work. It’s matching colors and styles on roofs that are 10-15 years old. Manufacturers update product lines constantly. The shingle that was called “Weathered Wood” in 2015 might have a different formula now. UV fades shingles over time, so even exact matches look newer than surrounding material.
We keep samples of common shingle types and can show you what repairs will look like before we order materials. Sometimes we can salvage shingles from less visible areas of your roof and use them for repairs on prominent elevations, then install close-match material where it’s less noticeable. Sometimes we recommend replacing an entire slope with new shingles so everything matches, rather than having patched sections that stand out from the street.
Wind-torn shingles are our most common repair. Chinook winds hit Broomfield regularly throughout winter and spring. They get under loose edges and peel shingles back. If adhesive strips have degraded from age and sun, shingles come off easily. We replace missing shingles, reseal surrounding ones that lifted but didn’t tear off, and check for pattern problems that indicate the entire roof is nearing end of life.
Hail-damaged shingles need replacement when impacts are severe enough to expose underlying asphalt or crack through the shingle. Light hail that just knocks off granules might not warrant immediate repair, but those spots will fail faster than undamaged areas. We assess severity honestly. Sometimes hail damage means you need insurance claims for full replacement. Sometimes it means replacing a few dozen shingles in the worst areas. We’ve repaired hail damage throughout Broomfield Heights, Aspen Creek, and Willow Run after storms, always giving homeowners honest assessments about whether claims make sense.
Flashing Repair
Flashing repair in Broomfield addresses water intrusion problems around roof penetrations, valleys, and transitions. Flashing is thin metal that channels water away from vulnerable spots. When it fails, water gets behind shingles and into your roof structure. Most flashing problems we see involve chimney flashing, skylight flashing, valley flashing, and step flashing where roofs meet vertical walls.
Chimney flashing consists of base flashing attached to the roof and counter flashing embedded in mortar joints. The joint between these pieces gets sealed with caulking. Colorado’s temperature swings crack that caulk. UV degrades it. Water gets in, runs down the chimney into your attic, and shows up as stains on ceilings near the fireplace. Repairs involve removing old caulk, checking that metal isn’t corroded, and resealing everything properly. Sometimes metal has rusted through and needs replacement.
Skylight flashing fails when original installations were done incorrectly or when sealant degrades over time. Skylights are notorious leak points because they’re horizontal penetrations that collect water. Proper flashing creates a stepped channel that diverts water around the skylight and back onto the roof surface. Improper flashing lets water pool against the frame. We’ve resealed dozens of skylights in Northmoor Estates and Brandywine where leaks developed after 10-15 years because original caulking failed.
Valley flashing handles concentrated water flow where two roof slopes meet. Valleys channel twice the water volume of surrounding roof areas. Metal valley flashing can develop pinholes from corrosion or separate at seams. Woven or cut valleys using shingles can fail when shingles deteriorate. We repair valley flashing by replacing corroded metal, resealing joints, or rebuilding shingle valleys properly. Valley failures often show up as water stains on ceilings directly below the valley line.
Step flashing runs along walls where roofs meet siding. Each step overlaps the one below it, creating a waterproof barrier. When siding gets replaced and contractors don’t properly reinstall step flashing, leaks develop. We’ve fixed numerous step flashing problems in homes throughout The Ranch and Westminster Hills where siding contractors removed flashing and didn’t put it back correctly.
When to Repair vs Replace
When to repair versus replace depends on roof age, damage extent, and cost comparison. If your roof is under 10 years old with isolated damage from a specific event, repairs almost always make sense. If it’s over 20 years old with multiple problem areas, you’re probably looking at replacement. The gray area is roofs in the 10-20 year range where you need honest assessment.
Repair makes sense when damage is limited to a small area, your roof has years of useful life remaining, repair costs are significantly less than replacement, and the rest of the system is in good shape. We’ll patch storm damage, replace sections affected by tree falls, fix isolated leak points, and handle localized failures. These repairs buy you 5-10 more years before replacement becomes necessary.
Replace makes sense when repair costs approach 40-50% of replacement cost, multiple areas show deterioration, shingles are curling and losing granules across the entire roof, you’ve had multiple leaks in different areas, or the roof is approaching the end of its rated lifespan. At some point, patching problems just means more failures next year because the whole system is done. We’ve seen homeowners spend $3,000 repairing leaks on a 22-year-old roof, then need full replacement six months later when different sections failed.
Insurance claims change the math. If storm damage is covered and you’re only paying your deductible, repairs that would normally cost thousands might only cost you $1,000 out of pocket. We help you understand when filing claims makes sense versus when paying for repairs directly is smarter. Sometimes small repairs aren’t worth filing because they barely exceed your deductible. Sometimes extensive damage warrants claims even if your roof is old.
We give honest recommendations. If your roof needs replacement, we’ll tell you. If repairs will get you another decade, we’ll tell you that too. We’d rather fix your roof correctly and have you hire us for replacement years from now than push replacement when it’s not needed. That long-term thinking is why we have customers who’ve used us multiple times and refer their neighbors.

Broomfield Insurance Claim Inspection Questions Answered
Questions & Answers
Roof repair costs in Broomfield range from $300-$3,000+ depending on damage extent and what needs fixing. Simple repairs like replacing a few missing shingles cost $300-$600. Flashing repairs around chimneys or skylights run $500-$1,200. Emergency tarping costs $400-$800. Larger repairs involving multiple roof sections, valley rebuilding, or extensive leak damage can hit $2,000-$3,500. Insurance-covered storm damage changes the math because you’re only paying your deductible. We provide free estimates and honest assessments about whether repairs make sense or if you’re better off replacing. Age matters too. Repairing a 5-year-old roof almost always makes sense. Spending thousands repairing a 22-year-old roof that’ll need replacement soon doesn’t. We’ll tell you the truth about what’s worth fixing.
Properly done roof repairs last as long as the surrounding original roofing if the underlying cause was addressed. If we repair storm damage by replacing torn shingles and the rest of your roof is in good shape, those repairs should last 10-15+ years. If we patch leak damage but don’t fix the moisture source causing problems, the repair fails within months. The key is fixing why damage happened, not just patching visible symptoms. We check for clogged gutters, failed flashing, improper ventilation, and drainage issues. We repair roof decking if it’s rotted. We install proper flashing before new shingles go on. Repairs done this way become invisible over time. Patches that just cover up problems fail fast. Colorado’s extreme weather is hard on roofing. UV at high altitude, temperature swings, hail, wind, and snow all stress repairs. Quality materials and proper installation make the difference between repairs that last and ones that fail next season.
Yes, we can repair roofs in winter as long as temperatures stay above freezing and conditions are dry. Shingle adhesive needs temperatures above 40-45°F to seal properly. Snow and ice make surfaces unsafe and prevent proper installation. That said, Colorado often gives us warm stretches even in December and January where we can work safely. If you’ve got damage causing active leaks or leaving your home exposed to weather, we’ll at least do emergency repairs or tarping to protect your property until spring when permanent work can happen. Emergency repairs like tarping damaged sections can happen in almost any weather. Full repairs wait for decent conditions. If you discover damage in winter, call us anyway. We’ll assess the situation, do what we can to prevent further damage, and schedule permanent repairs for the first good weather window. Don’t wait until spring to call because by then every contractor is booked out for months.
Have your roof inspected at least once a year in Colorado, ideally in spring before storm season. Colorado’s weather is brutal on roofing systems. Hail, wind, UV exposure, temperature swings, and snow all stress materials. Annual inspections catch small problems before they become expensive repairs. Inspect after any major storm event even if you don’t see obvious damage from the ground. Hail damage isn’t always visible to untrained eyes. Wind can loosen shingles without tearing them off completely, and they’ll fail in the next storm. If your roof is over 15 years old, inspect twice a year because materials near end of life fail faster. Check flashing around chimneys and skylights annually because sealant degrades in Colorado’s climate. Look for loose or missing shingles, damaged valleys, clogged gutters, and signs of wear. We provide free roof inspections and give honest assessments about what needs immediate attention versus what can wait. Regular inspections extend roof life by catching issues early when repairs are cheap instead of waiting until problems cause major damage.
Insurance covers roof repairs when damage was caused by sudden, unexpected events like hail storms, wind damage, falling trees, or fire. They don’t cover wear and tear, deferred maintenance, or damage that developed gradually over time. After storms in Broomfield, file claims if you have visible damage and repair costs will exceed your deductible by a meaningful amount. Insurance adjusters look for impact marks, missing shingles, damaged flashing, and other storm-related problems. They deny claims when they determine damage is pre-existing or cosmetic. We help document damage properly, meet with adjusters, and make sure estimates reflect actual scope. Some adjusters try to lowball estimates or approve patch repairs when replacement is warranted. We know what insurance companies typically cover and can advocate for appropriate repairs. Don’t file claims for minor damage that barely exceeds your deductible because claims can affect premiums. Do file for significant storm damage. We provide free inspections and honest advice about whether filing makes sense.
Emergency repairs stop immediate damage when permanent work isn’t possible due to weather, time, or safety conditions. Emergency tarping covers damaged areas with heavy-duty waterproof tarps secured properly so wind doesn’t tear them off. Temporary patches might include sealing obvious holes, securing loose materials, or boarding up exposed areas. Emergency repairs buy you time without letting water destroy your home’s interior. They’re good for weeks to months while you get estimates and schedule permanent work. Permanent repairs involve properly replacing damaged materials, fixing underlying issues like rotted decking, installing correct flashing and sealant, and doing work that’ll last years. Permanent repairs require decent weather because shingles need warmth to seal and caulking needs proper curing conditions. Sometimes emergency and permanent happen together. If a tree branch punched holes in your roof on a nice day, we might be able to fix it correctly immediately. Other times, tarping is all we can do safely until conditions allow proper work.
All roof leaks are serious because small leaks become big problems if ignored. Water stains on ceilings mean water has soaked through insulation and drywall. That’s not surface damage. By the time you see stains, moisture has been penetrating your roof structure for weeks or months. Active drips during rain mean immediate action is needed. Water running down walls or pooling in attics means major intrusion. Check attics during rain if you suspect leaks. Wet insulation, water stains on decking, or moisture on rafters all indicate active problems. Even slow leaks cause rot, mold growth, insulation damage, and structural deterioration. What starts as a simple flashing repair becomes replacing roof decking, insulation, and interior finishes if you wait too long. We’ve seen $500 repairs turn into $5,000 projects because homeowners waited years. If you notice any signs of leaking, get it inspected immediately. We provide free leak inspections and honest assessments about repair urgency and costs.
Matching shingle colors on roofs over 5-7 years old is challenging because UV fades shingles and manufacturers update product lines constantly. The shingle that was “Driftwood” in 2015 might have a different formula now. We keep samples of common materials and can show you what repairs will look like before ordering. For roofs under 5 years, matches are usually close enough that most people can’t tell from the street. For older roofs, expect some color difference. We have strategies: we can salvage shingles from less visible areas like back slopes and use them for front elevation repairs, then install close-match material where it’s less noticeable. We can replace entire slopes with new material so everything matches rather than having obvious patches. For severe mismatches on prominent areas, sometimes replacing that elevation makes more sense than living with patchwork that hurts curb appeal. We’re honest about what’s achievable. If perfect matching isn’t possible, we’ll show you alternatives and help you decide what works best for your situation and budget.
We handle residential roof repairs throughout Broomfield and Westminster. Our expertise is residential roofing systems: asphalt shingles, metal roofing, tile, and the common materials on homes. We don’t do large commercial buildings with flat roofs or specialized systems. Our focus on residential work means we’re really good at what we do. We know how homes in this area are built. We understand the roofing systems common in Colorado. We’ve worked on everything from older homes in Northmoor Estates to newer construction in Anthem Ranch. If you’ve got a home with a standard roofing system that needs repairs, we’re the right call. If you’ve got a commercial building or specialized roofing needs, we can refer you to contractors who focus on that work. We’d rather be excellent at residential roofing than mediocre at everything.
If your roof is leaking right now, put buckets under active drips to protect floors and furniture. Move valuables away from wet areas. If you can safely access the attic, put tarps or plastic under the leak to channel water into buckets. Take photos of damage for insurance documentation. If leaking is severe and you’re comfortable on ladders in safe conditions, you might put a tarp over the damaged area from outside, but don’t risk injury. Call us immediately on our emergency line. We respond to urgent calls 24/7 because we know roof emergencies don’t wait for business hours. We’ll ask about your location, damage extent, and whether it’s safe to work. For Broomfield and Westminster calls, we can usually get there within 2-4 hours depending on conditions. We’ll tarp or temporarily repair the damage to stop water intrusion, then schedule permanent repairs when weather allows. Don’t wait until morning if water is actively coming in. Every hour of water intrusion causes more damage to insulation, ceilings, and walls.
