Fountain local guide
What should Fountain homeowners know about their roofs?
How Fountain grew, where it’s growing next, and what that means for the roof over your head and for solar.
How did Fountain get started?
Fountain started in 1859 as a shipping point for local ranches and farms, took its name from Fountain Creek, and incorporated in 1900. On May 14, 1888, a runaway freight car loaded with explosives hit a passenger train in town; the blast, still known locally as “The Blast,” killed three people and left a crater 40 feet across.
Today Fountain, with Security and Widefield, makes up the Fountain Valley, just east of Fort Carson and about 10 miles south of downtown Colorado Springs. The city had 29,802 residents in 2020.
Which Fountain neighborhoods do you serve?
Fountain Valley neighborhoods range from older homes in Security, Widefield and original Fountain to newer subdivisions such as Heritage along Mesa Ridge Parkway.
Old FountainSecurityWidefieldHeritageMesa RidgeThe Glen at Widefield
What’s being built in Fountain?
Most new building is around Mesa Ridge Parkway. A Mesa Ridge plan approved in 2023 calls for about 1,800 homes and 21 acres of commercial on roughly 471 acres south of Mesa Ridge Parkway and west of Marksheffel Road, a long-term project. Nearby, the 213-acre East Infill area got a new tax-increment financing agreement in November 2025 to fund about $23 million in road work needed before it can be built out.
What does that mean for your roof?
Fountain sits on the same hail track that crosses the east side of the Springs. Many of our Fountain Valley customers are military families, so we keep schedules tight and document everything clearly in case a PCS move comes up mid-claim.
Older Security and Widefield homes often need decking and ventilation work along with shingles. Newer Mesa Ridge-area homes are more often a straightforward hail replacement.
Thinking about solar in Fountain? The 30% federal residential solar tax credit (Section 25D) ended for systems installed after December 31, 2025, so a 2026 install has to pencil out on its own savings. That makes the roof underneath matter more, not less. Fountain Valley gets the same strong southern-Colorado sun as the Springs. Ask your electric provider about its interconnection rules, and we’ll size a system to your usage. Panels are typically expected to stay up for decades, and pulling them off to re-roof later costs real money. If your shingles are older or hail-worn, the cheapest time to replace them is before the panels go on. Homey Roofing does solar, so we can roof and install in one project, with one crew responsible for every hole in the roof.

Why 1 inch matters: quarter-size hail and up can bruise or crack asphalt shingles even when nothing looks wrong from the driveway. If your home was in the path of one of these storms and nobody has been on the roof, it’s worth a free look. Compare other cities →

A real Homey claim
$2,281 → $58,171
A Colorado Springs homeowner’s insurer first offered $2,281.80. Homey’s full inspection documented the roof, gutters, downspouts, exterior paint, and fence damage, and the claim was approved for $58,171.79 in repairs.
“During the inspection, they discovered hail and wind damage. Although my insurance company initially denied the claim, Allie and her team were relentless. They advocated on my behalf and successfully got the roof approved, but they didn’t stop there. Thanks to their thorough process, I also received approval for full exterior paint and gutter replacement.” Magda P. · Google review, quoted word for word

“Working with Jeff and Allie was a very pleasurable experience. Their bid came back very quickly and was extremely competitive. They also were able to complete the job quickly as I needed to get it done and close on the selling of the home.”

Local reroof code
What does Fountain require on a new roof?
From Pikes Peak Regional Building Department (PPRBD). These are the items to look for on your estimate, and what an adjuster's scope sometimes misses.
- A reroof needs a permit; repairs under 100 sq ft don't. If you hire a contractor, the contractor must pull it.
- Single-family asphalt reroof permit: $135.
- Above 7,000 ft elevation, ice barrier is required, from the eave to at least 24" inside the exterior wall line. Your elevation is on the permit receipt.
- Asphalt reroofs need one final inspection; tile roofs need a mid-roof and a final.
In plain English
Code items aren't extras. If your city requires them, they belong on the scope. On a claim, they're usually paid under ordinance-or-law coverage. How code items get paid.

Fountain homes & our services
Fountain roofing, gutters, siding, windows and paint.
Homey handles roof replacement, roof repair and hail damage in Fountain, plus the gutters, siding, windows and exterior paint that storms hit at the same time. One local team, one photo report, one contract.
Census data puts the median Fountain home’s build year at 2000: about 51% of homes were built in 2000 or later, 22% in the 1980s–90s, and 27% before 1980 (U.S. Census ACS 2020–2024).
Roof replacement & repair in Fountain
Most Fountain homes are newer, so many are on their original builder roof. After repeated hail, that first replacement is often a good time to step up to Class 4 shingles. Our published price for a full tear-off here is $825–$925 per square.
Hail & insurance claims in Fountain
The NOAA hail record for Fountain is above. We document roof, gutters, screens, siding and paint on one dated CompanyCam report and meet your adjuster. Your insurer decides coverage; we never promise to cover a deductible.
Seamless gutters in Fountain
Gutters are soft metal and often dent first in a hailstorm. We set drip edge and gutters together so water can’t run behind them.
Siding repair & replacement in Fountain
Vinyl, fiber cement, engineered wood or older hardboard: hail and Colorado sun are hard on all of them. Matching discontinued profiles and flashing the roof-to-wall joints are where siding jobs go right or wrong.
Windows, screens & wraps in Fountain
Torn screens and dented aluminum wraps are common hail damage. They’re small and easy to leave off a claim, so we photograph each one.
Exterior painting in Fountain
With about 27% of Fountain homes built before 1980, lead-safe prep matters: homes built before 1978 fall under the EPA lead-safe (RRP) rule. Angel, our master painter, uses Sherwin-Williams products.

HOA rules in Fountain
Newer Fountain subdivisions usually have HOA covenants on roof color and material. 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).

How often does Fountain get hail?
NOAA’s Storm Events Database lists 140 hail reports within 10 miles of Fountain from April 2016 through June 2026, on 44 separate days. The biggest was 4-inch hail on Aug 6, 2018. Many storms are never reported.
Can you pay my deductible?
No. Colorado law (C.R.S. 6-22-105) bars roofers from paying, waiving, or rebating your deductible.
Do you work in Security-Widefield too?
Yes. We serve all of the Fountain Valley: Fountain, Security and Widefield.
I’m stationed at Fort Carson. Can you work around my schedule?
Yes. We can do the inspection, meet the adjuster, and send photo reports by text or email so you can follow along even if you’re away.
Besides roofing, do you do gutters, siding, windows and paint in Fountain?
Yes. We replace gutters, repair and replace siding, handle hail-damaged windows, screens and wraps, and do exterior painting in Fountain, usually on the same job and the same insurance claim as the roof, so one team is responsible for the whole outside.
Can one hail claim in Fountain cover the roof, gutters and paint?
Often, when the storm damaged them. Gutters, downspouts, screens, siding and paint are commonly part of a hail claim. We photograph every elevation so they’re on the record; your insurer decides what’s covered, and you pay your deductible.
My Fountain home was built in the 2000s. What should I have checked?
On a 2000s home we look closely at the roof’s age and layers, the decking, the flashing where roofs meet walls, gutter size and fascia, and any older siding or paint. Builder-grade roofs and gutters from that era are often due after a few hail seasons. The free inspection covers all of it, with photos.
