We are more than a roofing contractor in Calhan, we are the crew willing to make the 35 mile run northeast for a single repair. Calhan sits inside the Pikes Peak Regional Building Department jurisdiction, so your permit is pulled the same way it would be in the city.
As your roofing company in Calhan, Storm Guard covers houses, shops, and outbuildings. Residential roofing, commercial roofing in Calhan, gutters, and emergency tarping all come from the same team.
Calhan has not seen the subdivision boom that reshaped Falcon and Monument, so the housing here skews older, from the early railroad town core out to ranch homes on acreage. That means roof repair on tired shingles is as common as full replacement.
Barns, machine sheds, and the commercial buildings around the El Paso County Fairgrounds all need roofs that shed weather without constant attention. See metal roofing in Calhan for the option most working buildings out here end up choosing.
There is very little tree cover in Calhan, so gutters fill with windblown grit and dust rather than leaves. We clean, repair, and install gutter systems that can be maintained without a service call every season.
A storm that lifts roofing off a shed can strip a house on the same pass. Emergency roof tarping buys you a dry interior while the claim gets sorted out.
As your roofer in Calhan, we do not treat a job out on the plains as a lesser job. Same inspection, same written estimate, same cleanup.
We get on the roof and check the whole surface. Out here the damage is usually wind first and hail second, and the two leave very different marks.
Our Calhan roofing contractors give you an itemized estimate covering tear-off, decking, underlayment, and the permit. You will see what each line costs.
We install to manufacturer specification using premium materials, and we build for the wind that comes across open rangeland with nothing in the way.
After a thorough final roof inspection in Calhan, we clear the site properly. Loose nails and livestock do not mix.
Storm Guard uses only the highest quality materials sourced from top manufacturers. Around Calhan, standing seam metal and stone coated steel are popular on both houses and outbuildings because there is nothing to slow the wind down.
As your go-to roofer in Calhan, we deliver work that stands up to open plains weather. From roof replacement to gutters and emergency support, we do it all. Call us today for your consultation.
We service Calhan. It sits about 35 miles northeast of Colorado Springs on US Highway 24, and it is a routine part of our El Paso County service area for repairs, replacements, inspections, gutters, and emergency tarping. Calhan is inside the Pikes Peak Regional Building Department jurisdiction, so permitting works exactly as it does in the city.
On the plains east of Colorado Springs the early warnings are usually mechanical rather than dramatic:
Because Calhan housing skews older than the newer subdivisions closer to the city, we see more end of life roofs here. Replace when you have:
A standard house is typically one to two days. Properties with a house plus outbuildings take longer, and we usually sequence them so the home is watertight first. Material delivery to a rural address is the part worth planning ahead, not the labor.
Yes. We document the damage, photograph it, and attend the adjuster meeting so nothing on the roof gets missed in the scope of loss. We do not negotiate the settlement itself, and Colorado law prohibits any roofing contractor from paying, waiving, or rebating your deductible.
Two separate protections: the manufacturer warranty on the materials, and our workmanship warranty on how they were installed. We explain the difference in plain terms before work starts, because most warranty disputes come from confusing the two.
Size, pitch, material choice, and the condition of the deck underneath set the price. Rural properties can also carry a delivery consideration that a city address does not. We price it after inspecting the roof and give you the breakdown in writing.
A modest one. Darker shingles absorb more heat and push attic temperatures up in summer. At 6,508 feet, which the Town of Calhan describes as the highest non-mountain incorporated town in the country, the bigger factors are ultraviolet exposure and wind, not color.
Check for a stuffy upstairs in summer, frost on the underside of the deck in winter, and shingles that look older on one slope than the others. Balanced intake at the soffit and exhaust at the ridge is what keeps a roof from cooking itself from below.
The windward edge, almost every time. With no tree cover to break the flow, wind gets under the first course and works it loose season by season. Penetrations and flashing come next.
Frequently, yes. A properly installed metal roof can last 40 to 70 years, and on rangeland where wind is the constant it gives the weather far less to grab. It is also why so many working buildings around the fairgrounds are already metal.
Carriers across hail exposed parts of Colorado have been moving roofs over 15 years old onto actual cash value settlement, which subtracts depreciation. If your Calhan roof is older, read the renewal carefully, because the same storm can produce very different payouts under the two schedules.
Yes, as standard on a full replacement. Flashing sits at the details most likely to leak, and putting new shingles over fatigued metal simply hides the problem for a season or two.
Calhan gets it directly. The National Weather Service documented an EF-0 tornado just north of Calhan on 7 June 2012 that cut a 2.6 mile path and destroyed a 40 by 60 foot building. Sitting on open, treeless high plains inside Colorado hail country, this is one of the more exposed addresses in the county.
