We are more than a roofing contractor in Monument, we are a crew that builds for a town averaging 110.6 inches of snow a year against 33 inches down in Colorado Springs. Monument is inside the Pikes Peak Regional Building Department jurisdiction, and at about 6,982 feet it sits right on the 7,000 foot line the regional design criteria use, so site elevation is worth confirming before anyone quotes a snow load.
As your roofing company in Monument, Storm Guard covers the full range of work. Residential roofing in Monument, commercial roofing, gutters, and emergency tarping.
Monument nearly doubled in population between 2010 and 2020, which means large numbers of production built roofs went on within a few years of each other and are now aging together. We handle roof repair and full replacement across those neighborhoods.
Retail and office property around the Highway 105 and Interstate 25 interchange has to carry Palmer Divide snow without disrupting trade. Commercial roofing in Monument is scheduled around your hours.
Monument gutters carry meltwater for months, not weeks. We install and repair gutter systems that handle repeated freeze and thaw instead of buckling in the first hard winter.
After a heavy snow or a hail event, emergency roof tarping keeps the interior dry while the claim gets moving.
As your roofer in Monument, we keep it straightforward: a full inspection, a written scope, an install built for Palmer Divide snow, and a clean site.
We inspect the roof and the attic. In a town that gets more than three times the snowfall of Colorado Springs, attic ventilation is not a footnote, it is the thing that decides whether you get ice dams.
Our Monument roofing contractors provide an honest, itemized estimate covering tear-off, decking, underlayment, ventilation work, and the permit.
We install to manufacturer specification with premium materials, detailed for a snow belt rather than for the drier city climate 17 miles south.
After a thorough final roof inspection in Monument, we magnet sweep the drive and lawn before we leave.
Storm Guard uses only the highest quality materials sourced from top manufacturers. In Monument the choice usually balances snow shedding against hail resistance, because this town gets a serious share of both.
As your go-to roofer in Monument, we build for the snow and the hail this ridge actually gets. From roof replacement to gutters and emergency support, we do it all. Call us today for your consultation.
Substantially more. Monument averages 110.6 inches of snow per year against roughly 33 inches in Colorado Springs, because the town sits on the crest of the Palmer Divide. During the March 2003 storm the National Weather Service recorded more than three feet just north of Colorado Springs while the airport measured 1.7 inches, with drifts of four to ten feet across northern El Paso County.
This is the one town where the answer needs care. The regional design criteria switch at 7,000 feet, and Monument town center sits at about 6,982 feet, within about 20 to 50 feet of that line depending on the measurement point. Much of the town is technically below it, at 43 pounds per square foot of ground snow load and 30 pounds per square foot on a flat roof, but Monument covers real elevation change toward the Rampart Range, so we confirm the elevation at your address rather than assuming.
In a snow belt the early signs show up in winter and after hail:
Replace rather than patch when:
One to two days for a typical production built home once materials are on site, longer for larger or steeper properties. The scheduling constraint here is snow rather than access. We plan replacements around weather windows, which is why booking early in the season is worth doing.
Yes. We inspect, photograph the damage, and attend the adjuster meeting so nothing is left out of the scope. Monument takes real hail: the National Weather Service logged hen egg size hail near Monument on 19 June 2018 and two inch hail at Monument the same day. We do not negotiate settlements, and no Colorado roofer may pay or waive your deductible.
A manufacturer warranty on the materials and our workmanship warranty on the installation. In a snow belt, ask how each treats ice dam damage, because that is the most common winter claim here.
Roof area, pitch, material, deck condition, and any ventilation work needed to control ice damming. Impact rated shingles cost more upfront and often make sense here given the hail record. We inspect, then itemize.
Only a little. Darker shingles raise attic temperatures in summer, but on the Palmer Divide the decisions that actually matter are impact rating, ventilation, and eave protection against ice.
Because Monument gets more than three times the snowfall of the city, so there is snow sitting on the roof for far longer. If the attic is warm, that snow melts from below, refreezes at the cold eave, and forms a dam that pushes water back under the shingles. Balanced intake and exhaust is the fix.
The eaves, because of ice, and the slopes that took hail. On the newer subdivision homes we often find the original builder grade ridge vent and flashing failing before the field of the roof does.
Forty to seventy years with proper installation and maintenance. Metal sheds Palmer Divide snow well. The consideration is where that snow lands, since a full sheet coming off a two story roof onto a driveway is a hazard worth designing out.
Once a roof reaches about 15 years many carriers move it to actual cash value and deduct depreciation. Given how much hail this part of El Paso County takes, that change can mean a large out of pocket difference on the next claim, so read your renewal before storm season.
Yes. Flashing carries the load at chimneys, sidewalls, and valleys, and in a snow belt those details spend months under meltwater. Replacing it during a full re-roof costs little compared with chasing a leak two winters later.
