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 Thornton or the county covers your address and pull any required permit. City of Thornton
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.
Thornton homes & our services
Homey handles roof replacement, roof repair and hail damage in Thornton, 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 Thornton home’s build year at 1997: about 45% of homes were built in 2000 or later, 33% in the 1980s–90s, and 22% before 1980 (U.S. Census ACS 2020–2024).
Thornton has a mix of 1980s–90s and newer homes, so we see everything from second re-roofs to first-time replacements of builder roofs. Our published price for a full tear-off here is $900–$1,000 per square.
The NOAA hail record for Thornton 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 22% of Thornton 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.

Thornton local guide
What changes from one Thornton street to the next, and what we check before we order a single bundle.
Thornton is still adding homes on its north side. The City’s active-development map lists residential projects including Parterre, Holly Village, Willow Bend, Lee’s Farm, Villages at North Creek Farms and a project at 164th and York. (City of Thornton development projects map)
Most newer Thornton subdivisions have HOA or metro-district design rules for roof color and material. Send us yours and we’ll match an approved product. 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).

From a Homey customer
“Alley inspected my roof for hail damage and did find a few marks on my roof. She assisted me in a timely manner to make a claim on my homeowners insurance. She made herself available to be at my home during the insurance company’s adjusters’ inspection. She provided good, easy to understand guidelines for this complicated procedure. Thanks Alley for your help!!”

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 Thornton homes go through City of Thornton, 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 Thornton, 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 1990s 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.
