Roof Repair for Homes in the Greater Denver Area
Roof repair on houses across the Greater Denver Area, from a single leak to a slope the wind stripped. We find the cause before the fix gets quoted, and we tell you when a repair is genuinely enough.
What You Get From a Repair Visit
We get on the roof and into the attic. You end up with photographs of your own roof, not a description of it. We'll tell you when a repair is genuinely enough. Just as plainly, we'll say when a claim's worth filing, and when it isn't. Straight answers in both directions are why people call us back for the big job later.
Everyone we send into your home has been background checked. That counts for more on a repair, since it means someone is in your attic, not just on your roof. We carry general liability and workers compensation insurance, so that risk sits with us rather than with you. Some of our salespeople speak Spanish if that makes the conversation easier. We're GAF Master Elite certified. That's what puts GAF's extended warranty and enhanced warranties, the Golden Pledge included, within reach on qualifying roof systems. If a repair ever turns into a whole roof, you're covered by all of it. Behind the work there is about twenty years of hands-on roofing experience. Coming out to find the problem, and pricing the fix, are both free.
How a Repair Gets Done
Water gets in at one point and runs along the underside of the deck. It drops wherever it finds a nail or a seam, often a long way from where it entered and in a different room. Finding the entry means reading the path rather than the puddle, which is why a patch put in the obvious place fails.
A brand new roof can leak for a different reason. A crew can reuse the old metal at the chimney, or run a bead of caulk instead of cutting fresh metal into the mortar. It looks finished from the street until the first sideways storm puts the leak back where it always was. Ask us whether that metal is being replaced or reused, and we will show you which one is up there now.
Wind is different again. It usually leaves no hole at all. It breaks the seal along a row, lifts the shingles and lays them back down creased, looking almost normal until the next storm takes them properly. From the ground there is nothing to see. Up close there is a crease across the shingle and a row that lifts by hand. The trade calls that pattern zippering.
Leaks That Turn Out to Be Condensation
Some of the calls we get aren't leaks at all. A stain shows up on a bedroom ceiling in January, the roof above it has nothing wrong with it, and no amount of patching makes the stain stop coming back. What's happening is inside the attic. Warm damp air from the house rises into a cold attic, hits the underside of the roof deck and turns to frost. It melts on the first warm afternoon and drips down through the insulation. It shows up in winter, in the same spot every year. The shingles have nothing to do with it.
That's a ventilation problem, and the cause is nearly always intake. Air is meant to come in low along the eaves and leave high at the ridge. Soffit vents get painted over, packed solid with insulation, or left out of the house in the first place. Once the intake is gone, the vents at the top stop doing much of anything. Bathroom fans that dump into the attic instead of running out through the roof make it worse, and we find that one a lot.
That's why we open the attic as well as walking the roof. It's the quickest way to tell a roof leak from a ventilation problem, and the two get fixed very differently.

The Repairs We Get Called Out For
Almost every repair call starts with a symptom rather than a cause. A stain on a ceiling, a drip in a hallway, grit collecting in the gutter. Roof repair sounds like one job. It is really a short list of them, and almost none of them happen in the middle of a slope. Water gets in where the roof is interrupted, or where something has worn out.
- Leak repair. A stain, a drip, or a damp patch that keeps coming back. The most common call and the one that takes the most looking.
- Flashing and chimney repair. Water only when the rain is driven sideways, or a stain that follows a wall or a chimney down.
- Vent boot replacement. The rubber collar around a plumbing pipe splits and lets water in at one spot. One of the most common single failures on a roof that is otherwise fine.
- Roof vent repairs. A vent cap crushed by hail, a turbine that has seized up, or a mix of vent types on one roof that are working against each other instead of moving air.
- Wind-damaged shingles. Shingles lifted, creased, torn or gone after a windy night.
- Skylight leaks. Usually the seal or the metal around it rather than the glass itself.
Hail is a different animal, because it hits every slope at once and is almost never a spot repair. And if water is coming in right now, that is a different call. It shouldn't wait for a scheduled visit.
A repair makes sense when the damage sits in one place and the rest of the roof still has life in it. A replacement makes sense when failures are showing up across the roof, or the roof is near the end of its life, or the same spot has already been repaired more than once. Plenty of roofs that get quoted for replacement need a repair and nothing more. If somebody has told you yours is shot, ask what specifically made them say that, and how much life the rest of the roof has left. When the answer really is a new roof, what actually happens is worth knowing before you agree to it.
Whether to claim a repair is arithmetic. The wind and hail deductible on many Colorado policies is a share of what the house is insured for rather than a flat amount, and most single repairs come in under it. If the repair costs less than the deductible, the insurance company pays nothing. Work out what yours comes to, and we will tell you what the repair costs, so you can compare the two numbers before anything gets filed. A storm loss is a different conversation, because hail hits the whole roof and the numbers change.

What Our Customers 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.
sukhvir singh

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
Roof Repair Frequently Asked Questions
Can roof repairs be done in winter?
Most of them, yes. The one thing cold weather changes is the sealant strip on a shingle. It needs warmth to bond, and may not seal down fully until spring. That's expected rather than a fault. Snow, ice or rain on the roof stops work altogether, for safety and because nothing sticks to a wet roof.
Can a repair be done in the rain?
Not properly, no. Materials won't bond to a wet surface and the roof is dangerous underfoot. If water is getting in while the weather is bad, we stabilize it and stop the damage growing. The actual repair follows once things dry out.
Do roof repairs need a permit?
Some do. Where one is needed we pull it and call the inspections in, so it isn't something you have to arrange.
Does roof repair tape work?
It can stop water for a few days, and that's genuinely all it's for. Beyond that it breaks down, and it makes the real repair harder because somebody has to scrape it off first. Use it to get through a bad night, not to fix a roof.
What happens if the repair does not hold?
Tell us and we come back and look at it. Whatever coverage a roofer offers you, it belongs in writing rather than in a handshake, so ask us and we'll put ours in front of you.
Will the repair be visible?
Possibly, on an older roof. The exact color may not be made any more, and shingles fade over the years. A repaired patch can show from the street even when it's watertight. We'll tell you what to expect before we start.
Can a repair be financed?
Yes, we offer financing through Hearth. It comes up more often on repairs than people expect. A repair that sits under your deductible is paid out of pocket by definition.
Can attic ventilation be added without replacing the roof?
Yes. Exhaust vents go in from the top and intake usually goes in at the soffit, so neither one needs the roof stripped. A tear-off is the easier time to do it, because everything is already open, but it isn't the only time. If you're getting frost or damp in the attic now, it doesn't have to wait for the next roof.
Why does the ceiling stain only show up in winter?
That usually points at condensation rather than a leak. Warm air from the house collects in the attic, freezes on the underside of the roof deck, and then melts and drips when the weather turns. A summer rainstorm doesn't produce it, which is the tell. The fix is airflow in the attic, not a patch on the roof.
Show Us Where the Leak Is
Tell us what you're seeing and where. We'll get on the roof, look in the attic, and show you photographs of what is going on up there. The look and the estimate are free.
