June 2026: Two Storms, Wide Coverage
Lakewood was hit in the June 2 storm that swept the Denver metro and again during the June 1 and 8 Jefferson County events. We’re inspecting across Belmar, Green Mountain, Applewood, Solterra, Union Square, and the Bear Creek corridor.
Lakewood spans a wide range of housing stock — 1950s ranches through new Solterra construction. Newer roofs are not exempt: builder-grade shingles on exposed western Lakewood lots routinely take claimable bruising inside their first decade.
Why Waiting Costs You
- Hail damage rarely leaks right away. Bruised shingles fail months later, often after the claim window closes.
- Most Colorado policies allow one year from date of loss, some less.
- Green Mountain and western Lakewood sit high and exposed with little to slow storms coming off the foothills.
What We Do
- Full roof walk with photos of every damaged slope, vent, and flashing detail
- An honest answer on whether a claim is worth filing
- Line-item estimate in insurance-standard pricing
- We meet your adjuster on site so nothing is left off the scope of loss
- Permit pulled through the City of Lakewood, inspection met, closed permit in your file
Your Rights Under Colorado SB 38
- Contracts must be in writing with scope and total cost stated
- You may cancel within 72 hours if your claim is denied
- No contractor can legally pay, waive, or rebate your deductible
- Contractors must disclose a physical business address and carry proper licensing and insurance

Upgrade While Insurance Is Paying
Insurance funds replacement of what you had — you pay only the difference to move up to Owens Corning Duration STORM® Class 4, which most Colorado carriers discount your premium for annually.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it too late to file for the June 2026 hail?
Probably not — most Colorado policies allow a year from the date of loss, though some are shorter. Inspect first, then file with documentation in hand.
My Solterra roof is only a few years old. Can it be damaged?
Yes. Builder-grade shingles on exposed lots take claimable hail bruising young — concentrated on south and west slopes, and invisible from the ground.
Are you licensed for work in Lakewood?
Yes — Jefferson County Class C, plus Boulder County CON-24-0152. We pull permits through the local building department and meet the inspector.

Colorado hail & insurance: by the numbers (2026)
- Colorado ranks #2 in the U.S. for hail insurance claims, behind only Texas.
- The Front Range sits in “Hail Alley,” the highest frequency of large hail in North America — about 7–9 hail days a year.
- A Colorado state analysis (Feb 2026) found hail is 26–54% of the homeowners premium depending on county — roughly 50% along the Front Range.
- The average Colorado premium hit about $6,630 in 2026, up ~100.8% since 2020 — the largest increase of any state.
- Colorado typically sees 3–4 catastrophic hailstorms a year (each ≥ $25M in insured damage); severe season runs mid-April to mid-September.
