Roofing · Denver & the Front Range · Since 1999
One crew.
Your roof.
Start to finish.
The Ridgeline crew that measures your roof is the crew that tears it off, nails it on and sweeps the yard when the light goes. No sales reps. No subcontractors. Nobody you haven’t met.

Who’s actually on your roof.
At most roofing companies, three different people touch your job — and none of them have met each other.
- A salesperson on commission measures your roof from the driveway.
- A subcontracted crew, hired that week and paid by the square, does the install.
- A different phone number answers when something leaks in year four.
- Danny walks your roof and writes the estimate.
- Danny’s crew tears it off and nails it on — the same people, every job.
- Danny answers in year nine. Same number as year one.
Subcontracting isn’t a crime. It’s just the reason nobody at the company knows what’s under your shingles. We do it the slow way because we’re the ones who have to come back. Meet the crew →

The rest of the crewYou’ll meet them by name on measure day, and the same faces will be there for the walk-through. Who they are →
When it hails, your claim comes down to a chalk square.
Your adjuster will chalk a ten-foot square on each slope and count the hail hits inside it. Above a threshold, the carrier replaces the slope. Below it, they don’t. That square decides whether you get a new roof or a letter.
So we chalk it first — every slope, photographed, counted and dated before the adjuster arrives — and then we stand on the roof with them and walk the squares together. How a hail claim actually works →
- 01
Your deductible is yours.
Colorado’s residential roofing law (SB 12-038) makes it illegal for a roofer to pay, waive or rebate your insurance deductible. If someone at your door offers to, that tells you what you need to know about them.
- 02
If the claim is denied, you can walk.
The same law gives you 72 hours after a denial to cancel a roofing contract and get your deposit back. It’s in our contract in plain language, on page one.
- 03
Two checks, not one.
Most policies pay the depreciated value first and release the rest when the work is done. We show you both numbers before you sign, and we invoice the carrier for the second check so you’re not chasing it.
- 04
We don’t knock after a storm.
If it hailed last night, we’re on our own customers’ roofs today, not on your porch. Call when you’re ready. The square will still be there.
One day, start to finish.
What actually happens on a Ridgeline install day — the short version. The whole day, hour by hour →
Crew arrives.
Tarps over the beds, plywood over the AC unit, magnets out of the truck. You’ll meet everyone by name before anyone goes up.
The deck walk.
Every sheet walked. Soft or rotten decking is cut out, replaced and photographed — you get the photos before it’s covered, not a line item after.
Shingles, six nails each.
Four is the manufacturer’s minimum. Six is what the Front Range wind actually asks for. Ridge vent goes on last.
Walk-through with you.
The magnet sweep is done, twice. Photos of the deck, the flashing and the finished roof, and the warranty registered in your name before the truck pulls out.
What we do.
Everything on the roof and the edges of it. Every quote is written and itemized, and the price on the quote is the price on the invoice.
- 01ReplacementTear-off to bare deck, new ice-and-water, underlayment, flashing and vents. Never a roof-over.
- 02RepairLeaks, wind-lifted shingles, cracked pipe boots, failed flashing. Fixed by the same crew that does our replacements, with photos of what we found and what we did.
- 03Hail & insurance claimsChalked before the adjuster, walked with the adjuster, invoiced to the carrier. Your deductible stays yours.
- 04Gutters & drainageSeamless aluminum, guards where they earn their keep, and downspouts routed away from the foundation and sized for a Front Range cloudburst.
- 05Metal roofingStanding-seam steel for homeowners who want the last roof they’ll buy. Concealed fasteners, snow retention where it matters, skylights done right.
- 06Commercial low-slopeTPO and EPDM for small commercial, multi-family and shops. Same crew, same photographs, same warranty.
We’ve probably done a roof on your street.
Ask us for three addresses near you. We’ll give you roofs from different years, so you can drive past and see how they’ve held up — not how they looked on day one.

The guy who quoted it was on the roof with the crew at seven the next Tuesday. I’ve never had that happen with a contractor.
They chalked the whole roof before the adjuster came, then walked him through it. The claim went through the first time.
Told me the leak was a pipe boot and not a new roof. Charged me for a pipe boot.
A roof warranty is two documents.
The manufacturer covers the shingle. The installer covers the install. Most leaks are install problems, so it’s the second document that matters — and it’s only as good as the company still answering the phone.
- Material
- The manufacturer’s limited lifetime warranty on the shingle, registered in your name before the truck leaves.
- Workmanship
- Ridgeline’s own — ten years, in writing demo term — from the same people who installed it.
- Backed past us
- As a certified installer, the manufacturer stands behind our workmanship warranty even if we were ever to close. What that means in year nine →
