Colorado storm activity in 2026
From March 1 through November 3, 2026, NOAA's Storm Prediction Center logged 149 preliminary reports of hail 1 inch or larger within 50 miles of the Colorado cities we track. The largest stone near a tracked city was 3.00 inches (Wiggins, Morgan Co., CO, June 23, 2026).[3] Reports can overlap between nearby cities and are not a damage survey.
Common roofs and code notes in Colorado
Asphalt shingles dominate, and hail is the main roof killer here, so many homeowners choose Class 4 impact-resistant shingles or metal. Cold winters mean the residential code calls for an ice barrier at the eaves in areas with a history of ice damming.[4] Permits come from your city or county building department.
Colorado rules homeowners should know
You can cancel if the insurer denies the claim
If a roofing job will be paid from an insurance claim, a Colorado homeowner may rescind the written roofing contract within 72 hours of receiving written notice that the claim was denied in whole or in part. The contractor must return deposits within 10 days, minus work actually performed. [5]
Deductible waivers are illegal
A Colorado roofing contractor may not advertise or promise to pay, waive, or rebate any part of your insurance deductible, and may not act as a public adjuster. [6]

What homeowners say
We worked with Pete and Lukas on replacing our entire roof. Our roof has several different pitches and angles that need to be addressed by experienced and competent roofers. Everything was as promised from inception. The inventory was delivered on a Sunday and the roofing team arrived promptly at 7:00 am and worked through the entire day finishing exactly at 7:00 pm. The project was completed on a day when the temperature reached 98 degrees The site was cleaned up with no nails or gutter/roofing material left on site. We have several flower planters and hanging plants. Every flower planter and hanging plants were moved out of harm's way and returned to the exact original spot by the end of the day. We highly recommend using Pete, Lukas, and the whole roofing team. One will not be disappointed with the process and the end result.
I had a great experience with this roofing company. Rob came out to inspect my roof and was honest and straightforward with his assessment. I really appreciated that he wasn’t just trying to find something to sell me or make a quick buck. He took the time to explain what he saw and gave me an honest opinion about the condition of my roof. It’s refreshing to deal with someone who genuinely cares about helping the customer rather than just making a sale. I would definitely recommend Rob and this company to anyone needing a roof inspection.
I had an excellent experience with Rob Ryan from start to finish. The team was professional, punctual, and communicated clearly throughout the entire project. They completed the work on schedule, kept the job site clean, and paid close attention to detail.
The quality of the workmanship was outstanding, and the crew took the time to answer all of my questions and explain the process. The new roof looks fantastic, and I feel confident knowing it was installed correctly. Their pricing was fair, and there were no surprises along the way.
I highly recommend Rob Ryan to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality roofing services. Thank you for a job well done!
