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 Wheat Ridge or the county covers your address and pull any required permit. City of Wheat Ridge
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.
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!!”

Wheat Ridge homes & our services
Homey handles roof replacement, roof repair and hail damage in Wheat Ridge, 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 Wheat Ridge home’s build year at 1965: about 10% of homes were built in 2000 or later, 15% in the 1980s–90s, and 75% before 1980 (U.S. Census ACS 2020–2024).
A large share of Wheat Ridge 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 Wheat Ridge 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 75% of Wheat Ridge 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.

Wheat Ridge local guide
What changes from one Wheat Ridge street to the next, and what we check before we order a single bundle.
The City says most single-family homes here were built between 1940 and 1979, so many roofs sit on older decking. Newer homes include Hilltop Estates and Ridge at Ward Station (both 2024), Hance Ranch (2023) and Station 53 (2022). (City of Wheat Ridge: Residential Housing Developments)
Most older Wheat Ridge neighborhoods have no HOA; newer townhome communities usually do, and they often replace roofs building by building. 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 239 hail reports within 10 miles of Wheat Ridge from April 2016 through June 2026, on 40 separate days. 195 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 26 reports of 1″+ hail within 10 miles of Wheat Ridge 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 Wheat Ridge homes go through City of Wheat Ridge, 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.

Yes. We replace gutters, repair and replace siding, handle hail-damaged windows, screens and wraps, and do exterior painting in Wheat Ridge, 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 1960s 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. If the house was built before 1978, painted surfaces fall under the EPA lead-safe rule. The free inspection covers all of it, with photos.
