Aurora Siding Replacement

Shielding your home from the harsh Colorado winters, as well as the powerful sun found at the higher altitude, is your first concern when you seek out new siding, and this is why you should consider Legacy Roofing Home Improvements to provide you with several siding options. When you choose the right siding, you can enjoy the affordability, insulation, and low maintenance characteristics that it provides.

Aurora Colorado Siding Repair

Because the weather in Aurora can be quite harsh, you may want to consider something besides vinyl. Vinyl will work just fine in the warmer months, but the freezing temperatures and biting winds could cause it to crack and splinter. In addition the hail storms of 2009 caused massive damage to homes with vinyl siding, leaving many homeowners paying out of pocket for the repairs.
Many choose to install fiber cement siding nowadays because it will stand up to the elements while also remaining beautiful for several years. Fiber siding is also hail proof, preventing annual repairs and further costs. Its durability makes it a great choice for any home or business.
Legacy Roofing siding can be crafted to match your current siding or you can choose some that has the appearance of real wood. While cedar siding is beautiful, it’s not the obvious choice in Aurora due to the higher cost and additional maintenance requirements. However, if you do choose the real cedar for even some of your siding, we can install it with an excellent weather seal so you can enjoy it longer.
Every home is different and homeowners all have different expectations which is why Legacy Roofing offers such a variety of solutions for your siding needs. The climate in Aurora can be quite different from other parts of Colorado and the architecture of the homes also varies, making it important to choose a Colorado company that understands the needs of every individual homeowner.
Call us today for a free no obligation quote. Our experienced team will be happy to answer any questions about replacing or adding siding to your home, and they are ready to begin helping you make key decisions on your purchase. We can’t wait to start working with you on your home improvement investment!

Roof Certification

Many Buying and Selling Real Estate Transactions come to a close after a certified inspector inspects the contents on the roof system. We here at Legacy Roofing are often contacted to inspect all flashing and integrity of properties that are in escrow. Sellers that have not replaced their damaged roof face the chance of losing that buyers offer. Legacy Roofing works quickly to provide same day roof certificates to our Realtor Network. We have worked with 100’s of Colorado’s Prestige Real Estate Groups and are the Preferred Roofing Company for Roof Certificates. Please provide the info below to have Legacy’s Roof Inspectors provide your Roof Certificate!

Why Certification Matters

Obtaining a roof certification is often a prudent step for both buyers and sellers in the real estate market. A roof certification typically involves a thorough inspection by a licensed roofing professional to assess the condition of the roof and determine its remaining lifespan. This certification provides valuable information about the roof’s current condition, any necessary repairs or replacements, and an estimation of its longevity. For sellers, having a certified roof can enhance the marketability of their property, instilling confidence in potential buyers. Conversely, buyers can make informed decisions about a property’s condition and negotiate repairs or price adjustments accordingly. Overall, a roof certification serves as a valuable assurance of the structural integrity and reliability of a home’s most vital protective barrier.

Picking the right person

Hiring an experienced roofer is essential for ensuring quality workmanship, durability, and peace of mind. Experienced roofers bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the job, having encountered various roofing challenges and mastered effective solutions over time. Here’s why their expertise matters:

Quality Workmanship: Experienced roofers are skilled craftsmen who understand the intricacies of roofing installations, repairs, and replacements. Their attention to detail and precision ensure that the job is done right the first time, minimizing the risk of future issues.
Knowledge of Materials: With years of experience, roofers develop a deep understanding of different roofing materials, their characteristics, and the best practices for installation. This knowledge enables them to recommend the most suitable materials for each project, considering factors like climate, budget, and aesthetic preferences.
Safety Compliance: Roofing can be hazardous work, especially at heights. Experienced roofers prioritize safety, adhering to industry standards and regulations to minimize risks to themselves and others. Their expertise allows them to navigate safety challenges effectively while delivering exceptional results.
Problem-Solving Skills: Roofing projects often present unexpected challenges, such as hidden damage or structural issues. Experienced roofers have encountered similar scenarios before and possess the problem-solving skills to address them efficiently, keeping the project on track and within budget.
Warranty Protection: Many reputable roofing companies offer warranties on their workmanship and materials. Hiring an experienced roofer ensures that these warranties are honored, providing added protection and peace of mind for the homeowner.

TPO: Thermoplastic Olefin or Polyolefin

TPO membranes are single-ply roof membranes constructed from ethylene propylene rubber. They are designed to combine the durability of rubber with the proven performance of hot-air weldable seams. They have been tested as having excellent resistance to ozone, are algae-resistant, environmentally friendly and safe to install. The material’s manufacturers are so confident in properly welded seams that the material is sometimes advertised as a monolithic (seamless) roof. Seam strengths are 3 to 4 times those of EPDM’s adhesive and tape seams. TPO is highly resistant to tears, impacts, and punctures with good flexibility to allow for building movement. TPO’s are available in white, light gray, and black with thicknesses of either 45 mils (.045″) or 60 mils (.060″). The width of the membrane depends on the manufacturer but they usually come in widths of six to twelve feet and are one-hundred feet in length.

A Storm hailstorm leaves destruction in Aurora, CO on September 14th, 2013. Call Legacy Roofing for a Free Hail Damage Repair estimate at 720-541-5000
Hail Damage repair is the main reason why 68% of roofs are repaired in Colorado. Even pea-sized hail will cause a dark area where the grains or granules of the shingle have been knocked off and the base of the shingle is exposed. Recent hail impacts have a shiny look because the base material has been freshly exposed, eventually, the “bruised” area will become weathered. Legacy provides hail damage repair or replacement estimate

Aurora, Colorado Hail Damage Repair

How does hail damage affect my roof? Hail damage to asphalt shingles includes severe granule loss, material removal at the edges of the shingles, and penetration. New asphalt shingles are more resistant to hail impact than older shingles since the asphalt becomes more brittle with age. Warmer shingles are more compliant and more resistant to fracture from hail when compared with colder shingles. Shingles rely on a structurally sound substrate for hail damage resistance. Flexible roof sheathing allows the shingles to flex during impact causing damage, while more rigid roof sheathing supports the shingle during impact resulting in less shingle damage.

How To File A Roof Claim

How to File a Roof Claim

1
Make sure to write down the date and time of the hail damage that resulted from this storm. If you were unable to take pictures to show the adjuster assigned to your claim, do a quick search online in your location to find news pictures of the hail that fell in your area. Save this information so you can show your insurance adjuster.

2

Contact Legacy Roofing for a free inspection and have us confirm the damage is from hail. When Legacy Roofing puts together the estimate, ensure we differentiate which damage is from wear and tear and which damage is from the recent hail storm. Also advise your Legacy Representative to inspect other items on your property that may have been damaged from the hail such as AC units, gutters, paint, windows, and screens. Choose Colorado’s Preferred Roofing Contractor with a good reputation in the event the company needs to return for additional work that needs to be completed. Ask if they are willing to be present when the insurance adjuster comes out to your home. We always have the HomeOwner’s Best interest during the inspection.
3
Investigate the specific policy and your state regulations to ensure that your insurance company covers code upgrades. It is prohibited in most states for an insurance company to cancel your policy due to severe weather-related events that lead to damages. There is no way to predict Natural Disaster, therefore we ensure we get the most out of your claim so this is not common the Insurance Company will revisit a claim for Roof Damage.
4
File the claim with your insurance company. When you call and speak with a representative, give them the date the damage occurred and offer to contact Legacy for pictures to send over as well as the estimates from the Legacy Roofing. The insurance company will still send someone out, but it helps that you are offering this information up front.
5
After you have filed the claim, Have your Legacy Rep meet with the adjuster at the scheduled time. If possible, have a representative from Legacy roofing come out to meet with the adjuster so they can compare notes. Once the adjuster has spoken with Legacy’s Contractor, they will provide you with the settlement amount at that time, or they may have to review the notes further.
6
Complete the work as soon as possible after your claim has been approved. If you are approved for the full amount, your insurance company will send you a check for that amount, less the deductible, so you can get the work done. Sometimes the insurance company may not approve the full amount and in this case, Legacy will need to dispute the settlement.
7
Cash in on any rewards or benefits Legacy is offering you. This could range from an advertising fee to place a yard sign on your property, or you could receive a referral fee from sending the company additional customers. It is vital that you understand the difference between working directly with the contractor for these benefits and receiving rebates and kickbacks. It is illegal to receive rebates and kickbacks and not pay deductibles.
