Common repairs
Aurora roof repair: what we fix most.
Every repair starts with finding the real source. Water can travel a long way before it shows on a ceiling.
Wind-lifted or missing shingles
Chinook and downslope winds unseal tabs. Caught early, a few shingles and a re-seal is a small repair; left alone, the next storm peels more.
Flashing leaks
Chimneys, sidewalls, skylights and valleys. Many leaks start at flashing, not in the middle of the field.
Pipe boots and vents
Rubber pipe boots crack in Colorado sun, and hail splits plastic vents. Both are common, small repairs.
Hail-bruised or cracked shingles
Isolated hits can be repaired; widespread damage is usually a replacement and often an insurance claim.
Ice-dam and gutter-edge leaks
Water backing up at the eaves points to drip edge, gutter or ventilation problems, not just shingles.
Storm-hit gutters and metals
Dented gutters, downspouts and wraps go on the same photo report so nothing is missed.
Repair or replace?
When an Aurora roof repair makes sense, and when it doesn’t.
Repair usually makes sense when…
- Damage is limited to a few shingles, one slope or one flashing detail.
- The roof has life left and the shingles can still be matched reasonably.
- There’s only one layer of roofing.
Replacement usually makes sense when…
- Hail damage is spread across several slopes (often an insurance claim).
- Shingles are brittle, curling or losing granules everywhere, so repairs keep failing.
- There are two layers, or the decking is soft.
How we decide with you
In Aurora, anything more than a minor repair needs a permit, and flashing work should meet the A330 details below. We photograph the problem, show you the photos, and give you a written price for the repair. If we think replacement is the better money, we’ll say why, and you can still choose the repair.
Replacement prices are on our cost guide (Denver metro, full tear-off with Owens Corning shingles: $900–$1,000 per square). Repairs are quoted in writing after the inspection because they vary so much.

Where in Aurora do you repair roofs?
Older and newer homes
Census data puts the median Aurora home’s build year at 1985: about 37% of homes were built before 1980 and 29% in 2000 or later (U.S. Census ACS 2020–2024). On older homes, repairs often run into a second layer or tired flashing; on newer builder roofs, we check the original install, because nailing and flashing shortcuts tend to show up as leaks.
HOAs
Newer subdivisions usually have HOA or metro-district design rules, which matters if a repair needs new shingles to blend. Colorado law bars an HOA from requiring wood shakes or other flammable roofing and protects fire-hardened roofing materials, though HOAs can still set reasonable look-and-color rules (C.R.S. 38-33.3-106.5).
Aurora hail, at a glance
NOAA’s Storm Events Database lists 217 hail reports within 10 miles of Aurora from April 2016 through June 2026, on 38 different days; 186 were 1 inch or larger. The largest were 2.75 inches: at Denver International Airport on May 30, 2024, and near Greenwood Village on June 19, 2018.
Hail across several slopes is usually a replacement and a claim; see Aurora roofing for replacement and claim help.

FAQ
Aurora roof repair questions.
What should I do if my roof is leaking in Aurora?
Move belongings away from the leak, catch the water, keep people out from under any bulging ceiling, and don’t go on a wet roof. Take photos, then call or text Homey at (720) 948-5726. If it’s storm damage, keep receipts for anything you buy to prevent further damage.
How much does roof repair cost in Aurora?
It depends on the problem: a cracked pipe boot or a few wind-lifted shingles is a small job, while flashing or decking repairs take more. We quote every repair in writing after a free inspection. For full replacement, our cost guide lists $900–$1,000 per square for Denver-metro tear-offs with Owens Corning shingles.
Do I need a permit for roof repair in Aurora?
Aurora’s Home Improvement Handbook says roof repairs need a building permit unless they’re minor, and a roof replacement always needs one. We confirm with the City for your job and pull the permit when it’s needed.
What causes most roof leaks?
Flashing at chimneys, sidewalls and skylights, cracked pipe boots, and wind-lifted shingles. Missing kick-out flashing at the bottom of a sidewall is a common one, and Aurora’s code requires it.
Should I repair or replace my roof?
Repair when the damage is limited and the roof has life left. Replace when hail damage covers several slopes, the shingles are brittle everywhere, or there are two layers. We show you photos and give you both options when both are reasonable.
Will insurance pay for roof repair in Aurora?
If the damage came from a covered event like hail or wind, it may. Normal wear usually isn’t covered. Your insurer decides coverage; we document the damage and can meet the adjuster.
Do roofers need a license in Aurora?
Yes. Aurora requires a City roofing contractor license, with a supervisor who holds an ICC roofing certification. You can look up a contractor on the City’s website.
How often does Aurora get hail?
NOAA lists 217 hail reports within 10 miles of Aurora from April 2016 through June 2026, on 38 separate days, and its Storm Prediction Center logged 20 reports of 1-inch-plus hail within 10 miles in 2026.
