Roofing Contractor in Gilcrest, CO

Gilcrest is a small statutory town on the US-85 corridor in central Weld County, infilling the gap between the towns of La Salle and Platteville — extending Red Hawk's Weld County coverage along that same corridor. It's a small, stable, largely owner-occupied town — 6.0 percent housing vacancy and 57.2 percent married-couple households as of the 2020 Census. No verified named subdivisions were found. Town Hall is located at 304 8th Street. Schools fall under Weld RE-1, the Valley School District, which also serves neighboring La Salle and Platteville. The high share of married-couple households suggests a stable, longer-tenured population, meaning many roofs in Gilcrest may be original to construction and closer to the point of needing replacement regardless of storm history.

Gilcrest sits within Colorado's Front Range hail alley, and the confirmed data shows a real and recent hail history: NWS storm spotters measured hail on all 5 documented hail days within 10 miles of town center between 2021 and 2026. The largest confirmed hail reached 2.75 inches on June 16, 2025 (6 reports), followed the very next day by a separate confirmed 2.25-inch event on June 17, 2025 (1 report) — back-to-back storm days. That June 16-17, 2025 stretch is a useful reminder that a single storm season can produce more than one damaging hail day at the same address, which is part of why Red Hawk documents the full NOAA/NWS record rather than just the single largest event. Additional confirmed events measured 2.0 inches (May 28, 2024), 1.5 inches (June 13, 2021), and 1.25 inches (July 1, 2026). NOAA radar (SWDI) indicated larger signatures aloft on all 5 dates, up to 3.5 inches, but those are algorithmic estimates of the storm cell, not measurements of what reached the ground. For a town this size with this much confirmed hail activity, Class 4 impact-resistant shingles are worth discussing on any replacement. Homeowners here filing a claim after any of these dates should expect adjusters to reference this same NOAA/NWS record; Red Hawk pulls it as part of every Gilcrest estimate.

Roof replacement permits in Gilcrest are issued by the Town of Gilcrest at Town Hall, 304 8th Street. The town's specific permit fee schedule wasn't independently verified during research, so Red Hawk confirms current fees directly with the town before any job starts, pulls the permit, and coordinates the final inspection — homeowners in a town this small never have to track down paperwork or inspection scheduling on their own.
