Commercial Roof Replacement in Brighton, CO
We replace flat roofs on Brighton's light industrial and warehouse buildings. We price off what's actually under the surface, not off the area alone. The city's mid-job inspection and its working hours go into the schedule from the start.
What a Big Open Roof Changes
Most of what we walk along the I-76 and US 85 corridors is single story light industrial and warehouse. Big flat roofs with not much sitting on them. That sounds like the easy version of this job. In some ways it is. But it moves where the risk lives.
On a roof like that, almost all of the area is plain field. There's very little of the fiddly work around curbs and shafts that eats the budget on a downtown building. So the price stops being about detail. It comes down to two things: how much area there is, and what's underneath it.
- Failures show up in the field and at the edges, because those are the only places there's anything to fail.
- The deck spans a long way between supports, so what sits on top of it has to be right rather than nearly right.
- We work in sections. Nobody opens that much roof at once and then watches the sky.
That last point is the one owners care about. It decides whether the building keeps working while the roof comes off.
Our Process
- We walk the roof and open it in a few places, then give you the finding in writing with photographs before anyone quotes you.
- We put the scope in writing item by item, so you can set a competing bid beside it and compare like with like.
- We pull the permit and call the inspections. That part is not your job.
Brighton sets the hours construction can run, across the whole city. It's a noise rule rather than a roofing rule. It applies to your building the same as to a street of houses.
The practical effect is that the obvious solution is off the table. The roof can't be done overnight while your building is empty. It happens in daylight, which is the same stretch of the day your tenants are working in.
So we manage the disruption by sequence instead:
- We take the roof off in sections, sized so the noisiest stage sits over the part of the building that can take it that day.
- We place deliveries and the container for the dock, not for the door people walk through.
- Most of these buildings have their own yard, so the material, the container and any lift stay on your ground rather than in the street.
- We give you the sequence in writing before a start date is agreed, so nobody finds out on the morning. Licensed and insured, and everyone on site has been background checked on every job.

Opening the Roof Before Pricing It
Anyone who gives you a number for a roof this size without opening it is guessing. The guess will be wrong in one direction or the other. So we cut into the roof in a few places to see what's really there.
That settles two things. Whether the insulation is dry, and whether the deck under it is sound. Between them they decide how much has to come off and what the job is going to cost.
Where the cuts go is not random. On a wide roof the drains sit a long way apart. Water has a long way to travel before it can leave. It gathers in the low spots and sits there. That works on the roof from above, while the insulation underneath quietly takes it on. Those low areas are where a cut tells you the most.
Wet insulation doesn't dry out under a new roof. It comes out, or the roof you paid for is shorter-lived than the invoice suggests. We give you the finding in writing either way, with photographs of the cuts.
Brighton wants a flat commercial roof looked at partway through the job, not only when it is finished. On a straightforward house re-roof there is no such stage. On your building there is one. It belongs in the plan from the start rather than turning up as a delay.
What it means in practice is a fixed point in the schedule. A section of roof stays open until it has been seen. You can't cover it, move on and sort the paperwork out later.
It isn't a bad rule to be on the receiving end of. Somebody other than the contractor looks at what went down before the surface hides it. That's exactly the part of a roof nobody can check afterwards without cutting it open again.

What Building Owners Say
Adam Mayka
Josh with Semper Fi came to look at my roof after the most recent hail storm and couldn’t have been nicer. He was honest, thorough, and explained everything about the inspection process in great detail. His attention to detail and communication made it a very comfortable experience. Albeit we don’t need a new roof, when that time does come I will be using Semper Fi and I will recommend them to all of my friends and neighbors
Todd Reynolds
Was very responsive. I was able to get what was needed in regards to our roof inspections on three houses quickly. And worked with our insurance agent getting the right information needed for our insurance needs. If you’re looking for someone that knows roofs and you need inspections or confirmations regarding your roof. Highly would recommend recommend this company
Zilvinas Sutkus
We had Semper Fi Restoration Inc. complete the roof on our 10,000 sq. ft. commercial building, and we had a great experience from start to finish. We had the opportunity to meet Joshua Bosley and worked mainly with Leo, our project manager. Leo’s communication throughout the entire project was top-notch. As with any large commercial roofing project, we ran into a few unexpected snags along the way, but the Semper Fi team stepped up and took care of every issue with no questions asked. They stood behind their work, kept us informed, and made sure everything was handled properly. It’s refreshing to work with a company that takes responsibility and follows through on what they promise. We are very happy with the finished roof and would definitely recommend Semper Fi Restoration Inc. to anyone looking for a dependable and professional roofing company. Thank you to Joshua, Leo, and the entire Semper Fi team for a job well done!
Michael Molina
There are a lot of Roofing Contractors out there so when I was referred Josh and his team by a close friend I knew there must be something different about them. From the first meeting with Josh and Daniel I felt comfortable and at ease. I had a lot of questions and they answered them without hesitation and in extreme detail which I appreciated. They helped me through the entire insurance journey and made sure I was covered before any work was done which helped lift that burden off my shoulders. Also, you will not find a Owner as diligent as Josh when it comes to QA/QC of the work done by his crews making sure the roof/gutters you get are up to HIS standards. I appreciate Josh and Daniel for getting the work done and definitely exceeded all my expectations. I don't usually write reviews but their work deserves some praise, I will definitely be referring them anytime I hear anyone I know is even thinking of getting or needing a new roof.
Larry Walters
We had a great experience working with Joshua Bosley and Semper Fi Restoration after our home suffered large hail damage. They are honest, trustworthy, professional and knowledgeable. They held subcontractors to their high standards. This has been the best experience we have ever had with a roof replacement and other hail damage repairs. Working with Josh, Kat, and the team was a pleasure. We highly recommend Semper Fi to others! Larry and Darlene W.
Zachary Koch
I wanted to take a moment to leave a review for Josh and his team at Semper Fi Restoration. Josh came out the same day we called to provide an estimate and inspect our roof, and a member of his team completed the repairs first thing the very next morning. We truly appreciated the quick turnaround, excellent customer service, and quality workmanship in repairing the damage to our roof. The entire process was smooth, professional, and stress-free. I highly recommend Semper Fi Restoration to anyone looking for a reliable and responsive roofing company!
Lisa Smith
When my insurance refused to pay for my hail damaged roof, Semper Fi worked with my insurance to successfully get them to pay. They helped me with the entire process and communicated well. They were always available if I had questions. Their crew did a good job. They cleaned up after themselves. I highly recommend this company.
Aubrey Monckton
I had a fantastic experience with Leo at Semper Fi Restoration Inc. He recently completed some roof repairs for me, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Leo was professional, honest, responsive, and clearly takes pride in his work. He explained everything thoroughly, showed up on time, and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. The quality of the repairs was excellent, and it’s clear he genuinely cares about doing the job right. It’s hard to find contractors you can truly trust, but Leo absolutely earned my confidence. I highly recommend Leo and Semper Fi Restoration Inc. to anyone needing roofing work or repairs. Outstanding service from start to finish!
Michael Kerr
Josh Bosley and Semper Fi Restoration recently completed hail damage work on our residence. Josh handled EVERYTHING with our insurance company. The work was completed on time, as promised. Clean-up was great. Josh came back and guaranteed we were happy with everything - including fixing two small areas that we felt needed additional work. He ensured we were 100% happy prior to moving on. He was a great communicator, very patient with us, and made us extremely happy that we chose him and Semper Fi. I rarely leave reviews - but would highly recommend him. Final note, our insurance agent recommended him to us and he was as great as advertised.
Sharine Webber
Semper Fi Restoration recently completed installing a new roof and we are so impressed with the service from start to finish. Leo Jett thoroughly explained the whole process and answered all of our questions. He was a huge help with the insurance claims and demonstrated a sincere desire to make sure everything was done professionally and to the highest standards. The crew were hard workers and also demonstrated the same commitment to completing the job right. Leo always followed up with us and made sure we didn't have any concerns or questions. We highly recommend Semper Fi Restoration!!
Jeff Cisneros
Josh is absolutely amazing, his service and follow-up is thr best I have ever experienced. The thing that really impressed me was his honesty after inspection, he shared that I didn't need a new roof. There are very few companies with that level of honesty. He has earned a customer for life.
Judy B
Leo Jett was fabulous! He walked me through every step of the process and made this a great experience. His customer service was more than I could have hoped for. After spending 25 years in the HOA business, Semper Fi would be a contractor I would recommend to anyone needing a new roof.

We worked with Josh and his crew to get our badly damaged roof repaired. Josh had no hesitation to get over as soon as he could walk the roof spent hours doing his inspection to make sure everything was covered not one thing was left out. He was very thorough. I am a person that wants to understand everything and he had no hesitation to explain and walk me through every process. I highly recommend Semper Fi Restoration. They are honest and will get the job done right
Commercial Roof Replacement in Brighton FAQs
What is the inspection partway through, and what does it do to my schedule?
Brighton asks to see a flat commercial roof mid job as well as at the end. It becomes a fixed date in the middle of the work rather than a flexible one. We build the sequence around it. Planned for in advance it costs you nothing. Discovered halfway through, it stops a crew.
Can the new roof go over the old one?
No. The old roof always comes off here, so a recover isn't on the table. What the cuts settle is how much else comes off with it. Wet insulation and a soft deck both have to be dealt with before the new roof goes down. You get that finding in writing, with photographs, before anyone quotes you.
Can we keep operating while the roof comes off?
Usually yes. We take the roof in sections, so only part of it is open at any point and the building stays in use underneath. What we need from you is an honest picture of how the building actually runs. Which bays are busy, when the dock is worst, and what can't be interrupted at all.
How late in the day can the work run?
Not as late as most owners assume. The city sets the hours construction can run, and that applies to your building. So there's no working through the night to keep your day clear. Better to hear that at the planning stage than to build a schedule that quietly depends on it.
What does it cost to have the roof looked at?
Nothing. The roof walk and the estimate are free, whatever the answer turns out to be. If you already have a bid on your desk, bring it and we'll go through it with you line by line.
