We are more than a roofing contractor in Florissant, we are a crew that thinks about embers as well as snow. Florissant is unincorporated, so permits run through the Teller County Building Division, which requires 57 pounds per square foot of ground snow load and 40 pounds per square foot on a flat roof county wide.
As your roofing company in Florissant, Storm Guard covers mountain homes, cabins, and small commercial property. Residential roofing, commercial roofing in Florissant, gutters, and emergency tarping.
Florissant housing sits in scattered mountain subdivisions like Colorado Mountain Estates and Florissant Heights, on wooded lots where the trees come close to the eaves. That shapes both repair and replacement work here.
Small commercial buildings serving monument visitors and local traffic need roofs that handle snow load without constant maintenance. Metal roofing in Florissant is a common choice for exactly that reason.
On wooded Florissant lots, gutters fill with needle litter and then freeze. We install and repair gutter systems with guards and drainage detailing that suit a forested property.
If a limb or a wind event opens a roof, emergency roof tarping keeps snowmelt out of the structure until a full repair can be scheduled.
As your roofer in Florissant, we plan for a forested mountain site: access down a dirt road, staging clear of the trees, and a clean site at the end.
We inspect the roof, the valleys, and the attic. On a wooded lot at 8,173 feet the valleys are usually where the story is.
Our Florissant roofing contractors provide a written, itemized estimate that includes the county permit and any fire resilient assembly you choose.
We install to manufacturer specification with premium materials, built for the Teller County snow load and detailed for a property surrounded by trees.
After a thorough final roof inspection in Florissant, we clear the site fully, which on a forested lot means checking beyond the drip line.
Storm Guard uses only the highest quality materials sourced from top manufacturers. In Florissant we spend real time on fire rating, because a Class A rated roof assembly is the single most useful thing a wooded property can have overhead.
As your go-to roofer in Florissant, we build for snow, trees, and fire exposure together. From roof replacement to gutters and emergency support, we do it all. Call us today for your consultation.
Yes. Florissant is roughly 34 miles northwest of Colorado Springs on US Highway 24 and it is part of our regular service area, including the subdivisions spread out around the fossil beds. As an unincorporated community, permits are issued by the Teller County Building Division.
Teller County applies one standard county wide rather than tiering by elevation: 57 pounds per square foot of ground snow load and 40 pounds per square foot on a flat roof. Florissant sits at about 8,173 feet, the lowest of the Teller County communities we serve, but the code treats it exactly the same as Divide and Cripple Creek.
Yes, more than almost anywhere else we work. The 2002 Hayman Fire ignited near Lake George just west of Florissant and burned close to 138,000 acres. On a wooded lot the roof is the largest ember catching surface a house has, so a Class A rated assembly is worth discussing on any replacement.
On forested mountain lots the early signs are:
Replace when:
Usually two to three days of work, with access as the main variable. Dirt roads and long drives affect how material is delivered and where a dumpster can sit, and the mountain working season is shorter than in the city. We build both into the schedule we give you.
Yes. We document the damage, photograph it, and attend the adjuster meeting so tree strike and snow damage are scoped properly. We do not negotiate settlements, and Colorado law prohibits any contractor from paying, waiving, or rebating your deductible.
Manufacturer coverage on the materials and a Storm Guard workmanship warranty on the installation. If you choose a fire rated assembly we document the specific rating installed, which is useful for your insurer as well as for you.
Snow load design, pitch, material, fire rating, and access. A wooded lot at the end of a dirt road costs more to stage than a highway frontage property. We itemize everything after inspecting rather than quoting from a map.
Not much. At this elevation ultraviolet exposure and snow management do far more to determine roof life than color does. Fire rating and ventilation are the two choices actually worth deliberating.
Get the attic cold and dry with balanced ventilation and good insulation. Warm air escaping into the attic melts snow on the roof, the meltwater freezes at the eave, and the resulting dam pushes water back under the covering.
Valleys, without much competition. Needle litter collects there, holds moisture against the shingle, and rots the section well before the rest of the roof is worn out. Keeping valleys clear is the cheapest maintenance a wooded property can do.
Often, yes. Metal can last 40 to 70 years, sheds snow and needle litter rather than trapping it, and is available in Class A rated assemblies that suit a forested lot. We plan where shed snow will land before we recommend a layout.
It is standard practice for many carriers once a roof passes roughly 15 years, and it means depreciation comes off your payout. In a wildfire exposed area it is worth also asking your carrier how they treat fire rated roof assemblies, because some price that difference.
