Roof Inspection in Greeley, CO

A Red Hawk inspection covers all field shingles, ridge and hip caps, valleys, flashings (chimney, sidewall, step, kick-out), pipe boots, vents, skylights, gutters, and downspouts. We photo-document every defect, measure hail strike density per slope, check attic ventilation, and produce a written report in adjuster-ready format. We also note any code-mandated upgrades that would apply if replacement is needed. The whole inspection is free, with no obligation, and takes 45–75 minutes for most Front Range homes.

A standard residential roof inspection takes 45 to 75 minutes from arrival to handoff. The on-roof portion is 20–30 minutes, attic check 10–15 minutes, and report compilation 15–20 minutes. Larger or steeper homes, multi-story commercial, or post-storm hail mapping can extend to 2 hours. The written report with photos is typically delivered within 24 hours by email. Same-day verbal summary is provided before we leave so you know the verdict immediately.

Colorado homeowners should schedule a professional roof inspection annually, plus an extra inspection within 30 days of any major hail or wind event. Annual inspections catch wear before it becomes a leak and preserve manufacturer warranty eligibility — most warranties require documented maintenance. Pre-listing inspections are also smart before selling. Red Hawk's inspections are free year-round in our Front Range service area; spring (after hail season) and fall (before winter) are the highest-value times.

Greeley sits on the eastern plains where supercell thunderstorms frequently mature after rolling off the foothills, and Weld County is one of the most hail-prone counties in the country. The ground record for Greeley shows 5 documented hail days within 10 miles of city center between 2021 and 2026, all confirmed by NWS storm spotters, the largest a 2.0-inch measurement on June 16, 2025 (10 ground reports). The flat terrain offers no orographic disruption, so storm cores hold together longer. Red Hawk pulls NOAA Storm Prediction Center data for every Greeley estimate.

Greeley asphalt shingle replacements run $15,000 to $25,000, with most homes in West Greeley and Promontory landing between $12,000 and $17,000 for Class 4 impact-resistant installs. The high hail frequency makes Class 4 the default specification for most Greeley insurance-funded jobs. Red Hawk provides free written estimates with photo documentation. Insurance-funded replacements after a hail claim typically cost only the deductible.

The City of Greeley requires a building permit for every tear-off and reroof, issued through Community Development at 1100 10th St. Permit fees run $80–$220 depending on valuation. Weld County (for unincorporated areas around Greeley) issues separate permits with similar code requirements. Red Hawk pulls all permits and handles the post-install inspection. Code includes ice-and-water shield, synthetic underlayment, and drip-edge metal.
