Roofing Contractor in Security-Widefield, CO

Security-Widefield is an unincorporated El Paso County community made up of two linked areas — Security and Widefield — sitting just north of the Fort Carson Army post along the US Highway 85/87 corridor, about 8 miles south of downtown Colorado Springs. The U.S. Census Bureau recorded a population of 38,639 for the Security-Widefield census-designated place at the 2020 census, at an elevation of about 5,847 feet. East-west Fontaine Boulevard divides the two communities — Security generally lies to the northwest of Fontaine, Widefield to the northern and southeastern sections — while Colorado Highway 16 (Mesa Ridge Parkway) runs west into the area and connects to Interstate 25.

The community's identity is closely tied to Fort Carson, whose main gate sits just to the west; a large share of Security-Widefield's households are active-duty or veteran military families drawn by the area's proximity to base and comparatively affordable housing. Neighborhoods include the historic core areas of Security and Widefield themselves, along with subdivisions such as Clearview Estates and Pheasant Run Ranch. Widefield School District 3 serves the entire community.

For roofing, Security-Widefield sits inside the Pikes Peak region's hail corridor. Colorado's Front Range lies within what NOAA's National Severe Storms Laboratory calls "Hail Alley" — the Colorado-Nebraska-Wyoming zone with the highest hail frequency in North America — and NOAA radar and NWS Local Storm Report records document five significant hail events of 1 inch or larger within 10 miles of Security-Widefield's center between 2021 and 2026, all five reaching 1.5 inches or larger. The largest was a 2.75-inch stone measured on August 5, 2023. Stones that size shatter asphalt-shingle mats, fracture the granule surface, and dent metal flashing, vents, and gutters — damage that is often invisible from the ground but shortens a roof's remaining service life.

That exposure makes documentation and material choice the two things that matter most on a Security-Widefield roof. Red Hawk Roofing pulls the NOAA storm record for every Security-Widefield inspection, timestamping damage to a specific storm date so it can be tied cleanly to an insurance claim. Because the region's hail frequency is so high, Class 4 impact-resistant shingles are worth serious consideration. Residential re-roof permits in Security-Widefield run through the Pikes Peak Regional Building Department (PPRBD) at 2880 International Circle in Colorado Springs — the same regional authority that permits Colorado Springs, unincorporated El Paso County, Manitou Springs, and Monument — with a flat $135 fee for a standard one- or two-family re-roof. Red Hawk has no physical office in Security-Widefield, but crews drive out for every inspection and installation; call (720) 771-8921 to schedule.
