Fort Collins Roof Pros provides professional metal roofing in Fort Collins, CO for residential and commercial properties across Northern Colorado. Metal is the service where our advice most often runs against the sale. A 24-gauge standing seam roof will outlast three shingle roofs and it will not fracture under hail. It will dent. And in this hail corridor that distinction has an insurance consequence people find out about too late.
Here is the mechanism. Because a dented panel still sheds water, carriers increasingly ask for a cosmetic damage waiver or exclusion before they will write a metal roof in hail country. Sign it and a stone field that leaves your roof functional but visibly dimpled is your problem, not theirs. So the impact rating that pays you back on asphalt can quietly cost you coverage on metal.
That does not make metal wrong. It makes it right for specific situations. Low-visibility slopes and outbuildings where dimpling does not bother you. Steep pitches where stones glance rather than strike square. Long service life on a house you intend to keep for thirty years. Stone-coated steel, where a granulated surface hides denting and still carries a Class 4 impact rating, is the version we recommend most often on visible elevations.
Specification is where metal jobs are won or lost. 24-gauge steel rather than 26 where hail is expected, mechanically seamed or snap-lock profiles with concealed clips that let panels move, a 70 percent PVDF finish instead of a polyester one that chalks at this altitude, butyl tape at laps, and closures that keep wind-driven snow out of the ribs. Fasteners go into the clip and never through the pan on anything we call standing seam.
Read your policy before you sign a metal contract. If your declarations already carry a cosmetic exclusion, and you would be upset by a dimpled roof, you are better served by an SBS-modified Class 4 asphalt shingle at a third of the cost. We would rather lose the metal job than sell you a coverage problem. Check whether your carrier will write the roof at all before you order panels.
We install standing seam, snap-lock and stone-coated steel across Fort Collins, Laporte, Wellington, Timnath, Berthoud, Loveland and Windsor, on houses, shops, barns and small commercial buildings. Bring your declarations page to the estimate and we will read the hail language with you. Panels are a long lead item here, so plan on weeks rather than days.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — UL 2218 Class 4 impact-rated shingles, SBS polymer-modified asphalt, FM 4473 Class 4 rated low-slope assemblies, ASTM D7158 Class H wind-rated shingles, 24-gauge standing seam steel with concealed clips, stone-coated steel with a granulated surface — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Fort Collins and nearby communities including Loveland, Greeley, Windsor, Evans.

Materials, equipment and how we do metal roofing
The difference between metal roofing that lasts and metal roofing that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with UL 2218 Class 4 impact-rated shingles, SBS polymer-modified asphalt, FM 4473 Class 4 rated low-slope assemblies, ASTM D7158 Class H wind-rated shingles, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Fort Collins job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in Northern Colorado means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Fort Collins Chooses Fort Collins Roof Pros
- ✓We put the Class 4 payback in writing — upgrade cost divided by your carrier's annual premium reduction, in years, before you sign anything.
- ✓Impact-rated accessories are in the base price. Ridge vent, pipe flashings and gutter gauge are the unrated parts that dent, so they get specified with the shingle.
- ✓Tear-off to bare deck as standard. Nobody can inspect sheathing through a second layer, and a roof-over hides the decking problem you will pay for later.
- ✓Manufacturer high-wind nail patterns rather than the four-nail minimum, written into the contract so the wind class on the wrapper means something.

If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.
