Larkspur is a beautiful town south of Denver that is in a pine forest setting. This environment puts unique stresses on different roofing materials. Some of the more traditional materials like asphalt can have more trouble than the more durable materials like steel, metal, and composite roofing.  Pine needles and other debris can build up on many roofs and cause rot in certain materials. This debris needs to be removed no matter what roof type you have, but roofing material like stone-coated steel from Decra will not rot.

New Roof Plus installs residential metal roofing on beautiful homes across Colorado. From Rocky Mountain homes to suburban Denver homes, metal roofing can add a cool architectural element like none other. Residential Denver homeowners are using more metal roofing now than ever for many reasons. From a complete standing seam metal roof to using metal roofing in just certain areas, metal roofing adds a touch of class and sophistication.

Residential Metal Roofing Benefits

Residential metal roofing has a lot of benefits for a homeowner to consider. Yes, metal roofing looks great but it also gets 5 Stars for:

Hail. Metal typically has a hail rating of Class 4. This means typical hail will not damage the metal roof as it can to traditional asphalt shingle.

Snow. Metal tends to slough off snow better than other materials.

Fire. Metal doesn’t burn. If you are in a fire-prone area, a metal roof is a good first line of defense from floating embers.

Durability. Metal roofing lasts for decades.

These are just a few benefits that are tangible. In fact, aesthetically and architecturally, residential metal roofing is elegant and strong. New Roof Plus installs a lot of residential metal roofing across the Denver metro area and in the mountain communities of Evergreen, Conifer, and even up into Winter Park and Granby areas. Next, you can read a little bit more about a residential metal roofing project we recently installed in Parker Colorado

Metal Roofing and Wildfire Danger Protection

As we are all too aware, fire is a major Colorado problem and frightening concern as we continue to experience drought conditions across the front range and mountain areas.

Metal Roofing Denver – Looking Good!

Denver metal roofing installer, New Roof Plus, installs a wide variety of styles in metal roofing. If you are researching residential metal roofing, we have quite a lot of experience with this. If you are looking for information on commercial metal roofing for a building, we also have some cool projects we have been involved with.

Whether for residential metal roofing or commercial metal roofing, metal roofing is versatile. It is super durable. It is used as accent areas, complimenting other roofing materials like composite shake or tile. It is just as often used as a complete roofing system. It is architecturally interesting and adds texture and style like no other material.

Metal Roofing for Homes

Denver metal roofing companies, like New Roof Plus, install metal roofs on homes or as they are sometimes called steep slope roofs. Metal roofs on a residential home can look very high-end, especially when complemented with other roofing shingle materials.  This mix of materials gives a super unique, custom look. Composite shingles that are impact and wind resistant and their high definition look mix beautifully with flat smooth metal options.

If you look around at new construction going up in the Denver area, you will see a lot of metal roofing integration. This exterior metal high-end industrial look is not too new. Chipotle Mexican Grill was an innovator many years ago in the use of high-end metal inside their stores. They mixed corrugated metal cut-outs of Aztec figures, along with metal panels at the counter areas – along with metal tables. They took the metal industrial look and made it sleek and high-end.

Metal Roofing in Denver

The Highlands area in north Denver is a great place to cruise around for metal roofing ideas. Here you will find an abundance of new buildings with metal roof integrations and retrofit buildings with metal roofing. This part of town has grown so much over the past 10 years or so. Real estate values have skyrocketed and investors are pouring money into development. Each

New Decra roof

building owner wants their structure to be unique, to be attractive, and stand the test of time. This could be a reason metal roofing is being used so much.

Mountain homes and buildings have long used metal as a primary roofing source. Originally, metal roofing was installed for practical purposes. It was durable for harsh weather, it was relatively cheap, it works great at handling snow loads and it was easy to maintain. But as buildings and mountain homes have improved, metal roofing has improved as well. A metal roof is now the standard for most new construction.

Other Metal Roofing Ideas

When someone says metal roofing, most people think of a mountain cabin or farm building that has standing seam metal roofing installed. This is the classic metal roof that can come in several colors like red and green most notably. But there are many other options to consider.

Metal roofing options include Stone Coated Steel metal roofing. This material is pressed metal designed to look like shake roofing or tile roofing. The shape is pressed into the metal and then it gets coated with various colors of stone and resin. This manufacturing process has been in existence since the early 1900s but has continued to be improved. It is a very popular choice still today. It gives a high-end finish look. It is very durable. It looks like shake but it is not wood.

New Roof Plus specializes in these metal roofing solutions in Colorado. We have installed metal on beautiful Denver homes and many mountain properties as well. We have also worked on many commercial roofing projects – installing new roofs on many Texas Roadhouse restaurants across the southwest US as well.

Give us a call to discuss your metal roofing ideas or questions. Our inspections and estimates are free – as is our advice. Call anytime!

Denver Residential Roofing After the Storms

A few hail storms rumbled through the south Denver metro area recently, hitting many residential homes. Denver has seen much worse in the past. This year’s hail was calm, but the season is not completely over. Denver residential roofing companies, like New Roof Plus, have been called out for a lot of roof inspections. Homeowners were certain their roof was damaged. Fortunately for most of them, the damage wasn’t enough to warrant a replacement

When the next storm does enough damage to warrant replacement, your options are more than you might think. Today, residential roofing includes many varieties, styles, and options. If your home has always had an asphalt roof, there are options you can consider that can give your home a fresh new look or a completely bold look with something more dramatic. Here are a few considerations.

Architectural Style Asphalt Shingles

Architectural style shingles are extra thick asphalt shingles. It adds dimension and variation to the roof’s look. Traditional asphalt roofs are pretty smooth. Manufacturers have developed advanced coloring variations to create the illusion of definition.  If you are looking for something with a more actual definition look, this shingle is worth considering.  These are called Architectural Shingles. They are still made of Asphalt, but create the sense of largeness and perhaps a shake or slate look.

Traditional Asphalt Shingles

Millions of homes across the US are covered with traditional Asphalt shingles. Since the 19o0’s when Asphalt first came into use, the Asphalt shingle has been improved a lot but the basics are still very similar and familiar. Usually installed in “3 Tab” configuration, Asphalt shingles provide a very affordable, reliable, and attractive roofing system. A very popular shingle in the category is the Owens Corning Duration line of shingle.

Class 4 Rated Asphalt Shingles

Class 4 Rated Asphalt Shingles are the top designation for Asphalt roofing options. A Class 4 rating for roofing materials means it withstands a greater disturbance from hail or wind. To earn the designation, a manufacturer needs to get UL (Underwriters Laboratory) tested and approved.

As you would expect, a Class 4 rated asphalt shingle will be thicker, like an architectural shingle. It will also be designed to withstand winds up to 110 miles per hour and survive hail better than Class 3 shingles. Asphalt is still asphalt in the end – which is a combination of a tar-like material combined with fiberglass and

More Than Asphalt…

Beyond Asphalt, you have a lot of choices. New Roof Plus installs all of these. Here is a quick list and pages in our website where you can learn more about them:

Stone Coated Steel by Decra

Composite Shingle by Davinci

Metal Roofing

Euroshield Roofing – highest rated hail proof shingle

Flat Roofing – for mid-century modern homes and other residential flat roofs

Combination roofs – utilizing more than one material for architectural interest

Now you know that your next asphalt roof, if that is what you choose, could be many different styles and of varying quality. To upgrade to a Class 4 shingle from a regular shingle is not that much of a difference in price. If you would like to get some ideas from New Roof Plus, we offer free roof inspections and estimates.

Designer Roofing Ideas for Denver Colorado

Designer roofing options for Denver include the classics – like natural slate and tile. You might see slate roofs in the Denver Country Club areas or Cherry Hills Village with a real slate roofing system. No other organic roofing material gives a grander or more timeless appearance to a stately Denver home as does slate or tile.

While gorgeous, Slate and Tile have their modern drawbacks:

Slate is a very heavy material. It is rock after all

Slate often requires additional structural support which creates added cost

Tile often has the same substructure requirements

Slate is expensive

Slate and Tile are fragile

It is not good to walk on slate or tile if repairs or other work needs to be done on the roof

There are options for you to consider in place of real slate or tile. These designer roofing choices come with many benefits. Cost benefits, durability, installation improvements, color choices, hail resistance, and other long-term benefits come with new technology found in modern roofing materials.

Designer Roofing Options to Consider In Place of Slate or Tile:

Here are several options to consider that we install on some of Denver’s finer homes.

Davinci Composite Roofing

Decra Stone Coated Steel

Metal Roofing mixed with other roofing materials

Euroshield Hail Proof “Slate” Roofing

The material used in this picture here is NOT real slate. It’s fabulous looking and most decerning people can not tell it’s a manufactured composite material from Davinci Roofscapes. “Composite roofing shingle” means it is made from a combination of resins and other materials to produce a super hard, long-lasting, and beautiful roofing shingle that is lightweight, and hail resistant.  It is a modern adaptation to look like a real slate roof but it is a composite material. It is very lightweight, withstands most hail and wind, and it looks like real slate.

Call us to discuss your designer roofing wishes. You may have a certain look you want on your home and we can help you find it.

Denver Roofing Gets Tested with Big Spring Storm

Snow piles up on the roof. The wind blows the snow up, into and under flashing that is not properly secured to this Denver roofing system. The snow melts and in comes the water.

This is a picture of a flat roof leak on one of the Highlands Ranch Rec Centers. The leak had been there for years. A bucket had been placed to catch the drips in the past. Other roofing companies tried but failed to find the source of the leak. It was not an obvious solution.

We found it. The fail point was not visible to the naked eye. Solving this flat roof leak problem took some time and thought. Eventually, we isolated the possible problem spots and began to peel back the layers. Disgusting! We found it. The area had been leaking for a long time. As you can see, the decking underneath had molded and began to crumble. We discovered many problems with roofing failing due to water penetrations.

Denver roofing will be tested with the Spring weather. Be it a giant snowstorm like we are getting now, or a hail storm later in Spring, roofing in Denver and surrounding areas will be tested.

Most roofs fail at points of “penetration”. Penetration points would include flashing, edges, chimneys, vents, skylights, gutter lines, etc. In the images on this post, the fail points were where walls met roofing at different levels of the building. The flashing had pulled away, and caulk had lost its seal, allowing water into the building envelope.  After many months of water seeping into the underlayment, the wood began to rot and fail.

The solution to avoid this problem is to hire a roofing company like New Roof Plus to regularly inspect and maintain your roof. The roof is often forgotten. It’s not at eye level and unless there is a leak, you tend to not think of it. Large commercial buildings like this should have a regular inspection at the least. An inspection can fix a leak before you know you have one. This is pretty easy stuff usually.

In the long run, regular roof inspections can extend the life span of your commercial roof by years.

Denver Flat Roof Repair Made Easy

MidCentury Modern Flat Roof

Flat roof repair is a special skill. Finding a leak on a flat roof can seem simple but sometimes it’s very hard to figure out. Special skills and experience are required!

Here’s an example: A building owner calls us and says “I have a leak coming in from the southwest corner of my building. Can you come to fix it?”

We gladly agree to inspect the situation. Upon the first inspection from the rooftop, the southwest corner of the flat roof looks solid. No standing water, no obvious cracks or penetrations in this location. Right then we know the water is entering in the southwest corner of the building but the problem is somewhere else on the roof! Sometimes a flat roof leak can be far away from where the water enters the building. This is where experience and deduction come into play.

We have the experience to solve your problem. At New Roof Plus we work on

Davinci Roofscapes in Denver Colorado

New Davinci Roofing

Davinci roofing is a composite roofing shingle designed to look like a real wood shake or slate roof. It is a sophisticated style, super durable, eco-friendly, high dimension alternative to wood shake roofing. The home in this picture is a mansard style roof, made popular in France long ago. The roofline comes down over the windows, creating a very unique presentation.

Many homes in Denver were built with this look and they were covered with cedar wood shake. These homes looked great for a few years but then the shake wood fades and dries out here in Colorado with our dry climate and intense sun. Not an ideal long term solution.

Davinci Roofscapes is a popular choice for homeowners looking to replace wood shake with something else other than wood. If you look closely at our image here, it is very hard to tell that this is a 100% synthetic shingle. This roof will likely outlive the homeowner. It is Class 4 rated to withstand most hail and wind. It’s also a good choice if you live in a fire-prone area.

To read more go to our Google My Business post on a current Davinci Roofscapes Denver Installation.

Old Shake Off, New Metal next

New metal roofing preparations for this Denver area home and farm begin with removing the old worn out wood shake roof. This home is located on a few acres and includes a barn and outbuildings for horses and animals.

Metal roofing in this rural setting is amazing. This home was built in the 1980s and is set on a fantastic piece of land in Lakewood. The old shake roof was well past its prime but the former owners didn’t seem to mind. The new owners knew it was time for an upgrade and chose a standing seam metal roof. Installing a new metal roof will take this classic Denver area homestead and turn it into a showpiece.

Building owners have a few choices when it comes to metal roofing. You have the most well-known standing seam metal roof system, seen across America and everywhere in the mountains.

When Should You Replace the Roof on a Rental Property?

New Roof and Solar

Roof replacement is an expensive but also an unavoidable expense of property owners. The moment a roof is installed, the countdown to its eventual expiration date begins. The lifespan of a roof can range from 25 to 100 years, depending on the type of roof. But there are no guarantees that a roof will last until the end of its useful life. Factors like an area’s weather and how well the property owner looks after the roof determine when the roof will eventually need replacing.

Especially, for rental properties, it is important for property owners to keep a keen eye on the condition of their roof. If the roof’s appearance is allowed to deteriorate, the property will lose its attraction for potential tenants. Moreover, a roof that is in a bad shape is liable to develop leaks and make the home unlivable for tenants. Leaks can also result in extensive damage to the major structures and systems of a home. This is why regular roof inspection is critical to maintaining the viability of a rental.

By inspecting their rental property roof on a schedule, landlords can do the following for themselves:

Address minor issues early and prevent them from becoming major expenses

Detect signs of imminent roof failure so that they can start planning for roof replacement

Avoid wasting money on makeshift fixes when the roof actually needs replacing

But to correctly assess the condition of a roof and determine when it needs replacing, landlords must be able to identify the signs of roof failure. Here are the indicators that a rental property’s roof is due for changing.

1.   Damaged shingles

Hail Damage

This is not just a case of one missing or damaged shingle. When roof shingles start to curl, buckle, and crack regularly, it is a warning that the roof needs replacement. Roof shingles can curl and buckle as a result of extreme temperature changes or accumulation of moisture. Cracked shingles often result from wind damage.

In addition to cracking and curling, another sign of aging roof shingles is excessive shedding of granules. Roofs normally shed granules, but when the gutters become filled with granules, it means the roof has started to lose its effectiveness as a barrier against the elements.

2.   Bowing or sagging roof

A dip in the roof is a sure sign that it needs to be replaced. Depending on how deep the depression on the roof surface, it may or may not be visible from inside the home. A sagging roof usually occurs when there is a shift in the underlying structures that support the roof. This could be the internal structures of the roof or the home’s foundations. Other times, sagging can also be caused by the excessive weight of snow.

3.   Roof rot

If the wood in the interior part of the roof is exposed to moisture for

Roof repair needed here!

prolonged periods, it will rot. Rot encourages the growth of fungi and attracts pests that accelerate the deterioration of the wood. There are several sign landlords can look out for which reveal the presence of rotting wood in a home’s roof.

They include a sagging roof deck, evidence of water damage on the ceiling, openings in the roof (missing shingles or torn flashing), algae growth on the wood deck, and the presence of mold in the attic (particularly if the attic insulation is also soaked with water).

4.   Regular roof leaks

A home’s roof can spring leaks for a variety of reasons. A leaky roof is not a sign that the roof needs to be replaced. Roof leaks happen for a range of reasons. But when leaks become a common occurrence and the roof has undergone several repairs, it may be time to change the entire roof.

The type of events that landlords should look out for in connection with a leaking roof includes water intrusion, water pooling on the roof surface, dark streaks, or stains on the underside of the roof, and dark streaks running down the interior & exteriors walls. Depending on the extent of the leak and the underlying causes, the whole roof may not require changing, but only a section of it might need simple roof leak repair.

5.   Growths on the roof

Anything growing on a roof can damage it. The most common growths

Roof with hail damage

found on roofs are mold, mildew, algae, and moss. Moss allows moisture to accumulate on the roof’s surface; this predisposes the roof to wood rot. Algae eat away at the shingles by metabolizing the materials they are made of.

This makes the roof brittle, porous, and susceptible to rot. Mold is one of the clearest signs a roof is suffering from water damage. Mold growing on the roof and its interior structures will cause the wood to weaken and attract pests into the roof. Mildew only grows on wet surfaces; if it is found on the roof, it means the roof is already exposed to water damage.

Finally, if there is an inexplicable spike in the home’s energy costs, then the roof may have lost its efficiency. Also if a roof is nearing the end of its useful life, it should be replaced.

Denver Decra Stone Coated Steel Installation

New Decra roof

Out with the old curled up wood shake roof! In with the new Class 4 Decra Stone Coated Steel roof! This new roof looks shake-like and is absolutely stunning. This home looks new again.

This is a neighborhood called Columbine Knolls South and the HOA requires homeowners to replace their old wood shake roofs with something that is safer, longer-lasting, and fits the original look and feel of the neighborhood. The answer to these requirements is Decra Stone Coated steel roofing, installed by New Roof Plus.

Stone-coated steel offers a home or building owner a long list of benefits. The greatest benefit is its durability. As a Class 4 rated roofing material, it can withstand hail that other roofs can not handle. Same for wind resistance. We just had a super-strong wind event here in the Denver area and many roofs lost a lot of shingles. Not so with a properly installed stone coated Decra roof from New Roof Plus.

This material is also Class 4 rated for fire protection. A serious concern if you live in a wooded or mountainous area here in Colorado. This material will not burn.

Columbine Knolls South Decra Install

The Decra stone coated steel installation process is designed to secure the metal sections to the roof. As you can see in this picture of a home at the preparation stage, battens are secured to the roof to tie-in each section of the new metal roofing system.

Columbine Knolls South is similar to many other HOA’s in Denver. They want a secure neighborhood that has consistent quality expectations for all homes in the HOA or POA.  If your HOA or POA is eliminating wood shake as an option, let us know and we can help you design the new look that can give your house back it’s “Wow!”
