A full roof replacement is one of the largest expenses a Colorado Springs home will face, and it is worth doing quickly. Since 2018, Iron Shield Roofing has rebuilt roofs across the Pikes Peak region from our Chelton Loop shop. The process always begins the same way: we go up on the roof and prove that the replacement is necessary before anyone signs anything.

What Our Colorado Springs Roof Replacement Service Includes
A replacement is a sequence of decisions, not a single transaction. Here is what we handle at each stage.
Free Pre-Replacement Inspection
We first document the existing roof with photographs. If repair is smarter, we say so before quoting a replacement you do not need.
Complete Tear-Off
We strip the existing roofing rather than layer over it. This is the only way to see the deck and build a system that performs as rated.
Decking Inspection and Repair
With the old roof off, we examine the sheathing for rot, delamination, and storm damage, and replace compromised sections.
Material and Color Selection
Architectural asphalt, Class 4 impact-resistant SBS shingles, and metal behave differently in hail country. We lay out cost, hail performance, and service life, then you choose.
Underlayment and Ice Barrier Installation
Synthetic underlayment and ice barrier at the eaves and valleys handle winter meltwater, where most preventable leaks start.
Ventilation Correction
A replacement is the only convenient time to fix undersized intake or ridge ventilation. This directly extends the life of the shingles above.
Permitting and Final Inspection
We pull the permit with the Pikes Peak Regional Building Department and complete the final inspection, so your roof is documented for resale and insurance purposes.
Insurance Claim Coordination
Where a storm justifies the replacement, we document the damage and meet your adjuster on the roof.
Half of Your El Paso County Insurance Premium Is Priced for Your Roof
Most homeowners think of a replacement purely as a cost. In this county, state data suggests it is also the most effective way to lower a recurring bill. In Colorado Springs, hail accounts for 54% of a homeowner’s total insurance premium. More than half of what you pay to insure your home covers the risk of hail striking your roof.
The state’s remedy is the roof itself. Across eleven counties the Division analyzed, hail mitigation, meaning fortified impact-resistant roofing, could save homeowners an average of 82 to 387 dollars per year. In contrast, wildfire mitigation saved only 3 to 25 dollars.
That reframes the decision. A replacement is not just a repair bill you pay once. In El Paso County, it is the one home upgrade with a documented, recurring return. The material you select determines whether you capture it.
So we quote it that way. You get pricing for standard architectural shingles alongside Class 4 systems, with the cost difference stated plainly. We document what was installed, including product line and rating, so you have what your carrier needs to consider a mitigation discount. Because we are based here, we can still produce that documentation two years later when you switch carriers.

Signs a Repair Will Not Carry Your Roof Any Further
Replacement is the right answer less often than storm-season door knockers suggest. These patterns actually point to it.
- Granule loss across whole slopes, with bare asphalt showing through
- Brittle shingles, curling at the edges, or cracking when flexed
- Hail bruising or fractures spread across multiple slopes rather than isolated
- A third or fourth repair in the same few years, each in a different place
- An asphalt roof past roughly 20 years, especially at our elevation and UV load
Roofing Materials That Earn Their Keep in Colorado Springs
We install what suits your home, budget, and how long you plan to stay, not what we bought a pallet of.
Architectural Asphalt Shingles
The practical default here. Good appearance, wide color range, and sensible cost, though standard grades give up ground to serious hail.
Class 4 Impact-Resistant Shingles
Rubberized SBS-modified asphalt that flexes under impact instead of fracturing. The strongest fit for hail country and the option most likely to qualify for a carrier discount.
Metal Roofing
Long service life, excellent snow shedding, and strong wind performance. Higher upfront cost, but it removes you from the recurring hail-replacement cycle.

Replacement is the job with the most at stake, so the reviews that matter describe its full arc.
Professional, and the Work Speaks for Itself
Suzi Nieto’s review is brief, which is the point. When a replacement goes as it should, there is little to recount besides professionalism and the result.
“Definitely recommended. Very professional, great service, and the quality of their work is outstanding.”
A replacement that produces no story is one that went correctly. That is what we aim for on every roof we take off. Read Suzi’s full Google review.
