“I’ve been inspecting storm-damaged roofs across Colorado since 2014. The biggest mistake homeowners make is waiting to call — insurance companies have strict deadlines, and hail damage that’s invisible today becomes a denied claim six months from now. We document everything and attend the adjuster meeting with you.”

“I’ve been working roofs in Northern Colorado since 2014. I’ve seen hail take a perfectly maintained 20-year-old roof from functional to failing in a single afternoon — and most homeowners don’t even know until their ceiling starts dripping two months later. The damage is real. Get it inspected before the insurance window closes.”

Longmont’s Roofing Company

Full-Service Roofing Contractor — Not Just Shingles

Most Longmont roofing companies replace shingles and leave. Josh Brooks Construction and Renovation Inc. replaces your entire roof system — shingles, underlayment, ice and water shield, ridge ventilation, drip edge, flashing, and gutters — all to manufacturer specification and Boulder County code.

We work directly with your homeowner’s insurance, document every inch of hail damage with photographs and measurements, and attend your adjuster’s inspection to ensure nothing is missed. The difference between a $2,000 partial payment and a $15,000 full replacement often comes down to who’s in the room when the adjuster shows up.

With 30 years of experience and Boulder County Class C License CON-24-0152, we know exactly what Colorado adjusters look for — and how to document it.

Unlike roofing-only companies like GreenPoint Roofing or Bulldog Roofing, Josh Brooks Construction and Renovation Inc. handles every trade — roofing, siding, windows, gutters, and more — under one contract. One call. One company. Zero runaround.

Hail Damage Roofing Contractors in Longmont & Northern Colorado

When you search for hail damage roofing contractors, you are looking for two things: someone who can tell you honestly whether the storm damaged your roof, and someone who will rebuild it so the next storm does not. We are a licensed, Longmont-based contractor — not a crew that follows storms across the country.

  • Free hail inspection first. We document hits on shingles, vents, gutters and soft metals with photos before you call your insurance company.
  • Adjuster meetings. We meet your adjuster on the roof and walk through the damage and the full scope of repair.
  • Class 4 only. Every roof we install uses Class 4 impact-resistant shingles — Owens Corning Duration STORM or better.
  • All new metals and flashing. Drip edge, valley metal, pipe boots and step flashing are replaced, not reused.
  • Your deductible is yours. Colorado law prohibits roofers from paying or waiving deductibles, and we follow it.
  • Permits and inspection on every replacement.

Insurance-claim roofing — how we handle itUnder Colorado's Residential Roofing Bill of Rights, you may cancel for a full deposit refund within 72 hours of signing — and, if your insurer denies the claim, within 72 hours of that denial. Once that window closes, your deposit is committed to your project and is non-refundable except as required by law for work not yet performed. We never collect your insurance deductible upfront — it's due at completion — and by law we cannot waive or rebate it.

Colorado hail & insurance: by the numbers (2026)

  • 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.
