Insurance claims
Dented gutters, torn screens or bent A/C fins are the first clue. Here’s how to look.
Detailed close-up photos, date-stamped, and an honest answer on whether the damage is worth a claim.
You file with your insurer. We document the damage and can meet the adjuster on site.
We confirm whether City of Golden or the county covers your address and pull any required permit. City of Golden
Colorado law bars roofers from paying, waiving or rebating your deductible (C.R.S. 6-22-105). Coverage decisions are made by your insurer under your policy.

“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.”

Golden homes & our services
Homey handles roof replacement, roof repair and hail damage in Golden, 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 Golden home’s build year at 1989: about 30% of homes were built in 2000 or later, 27% in the 1980s–90s, and 43% before 1980 (U.S. Census ACS 2020–2024).
Golden enforces its Wildfire Resiliency Code on properties in the City’s wildland-urban interface map, which can affect roofing, siding and vents. We check the map for your address first.
A large share of Golden homes predate 1980, and tear-offs on older homes can turn up extra layers or tired decking. We photograph it and price it at the inspection. Our published price for a full tear-off here is $900–$1,000 per square.
The NOAA hail record for Golden 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.
Older gutters and fascia are often due when the roof is. We set drip edge and gutters together so water can’t run behind them.
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.
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.
With about 43% of Golden 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.

What changes from one Golden street to the next, and what we check before we order a single bundle.
Golden’s new building is mostly infill. The City lists active private projects through its development-applications hub. (City of Golden: Development Applications)
The City itself tells homeowners to check with their HOA before applying for a roofing permit, because HOA rules can add requirements. 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).

NOAA’s Storm Events Database lists 128 hail reports within 10 miles of Golden from April 2016 through June 2026, on 31 separate days. 105 of those reports were 1 inch or larger. Many storms are never reported, so the real number is higher.
NOAA’s Storm Prediction Center logged 15 reports of 1″+ hail within 10 miles of Golden between April and October 2026. The biggest was 1.75″ on Jun 8, 2026 (2 NNW Golden). A report nearby doesn’t prove your roof was hit; an inspection does.
It depends on your policy. Many Colorado homeowners policies say hail or wind damage must be reported within 365 days (one year) of the storm, but your policy may say something different. Read the conditions section of your own policy or ask your agent. Report as soon as you know about damage, and don’t wait for a leak.
Permits for Golden homes go through City of Golden, or the county if your address is outside city limits. We confirm which office covers your home and pull any required permit.
No. Colorado law (C.R.S. 6-22-105) bars roofing contractors from paying, waiving or rebating your insurance deductible, or promising to.
Usually within a day or two. Book online, call, or text (720) 948-5726.
Yes. We replace gutters, repair and replace siding, handle hail-damaged windows, screens and wraps, and do exterior painting in Golden, usually on the same job and the same insurance claim as the roof, so one team is responsible for the whole outside.
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.
On a 1980s 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.
