Roof Replacement in the Greater Denver Area
Residential roof replacement on houses across the Greater Denver Area, from the first look at the roof to the last nail picked out of the grass. Most of them start with a hailstorm, so the insurance side comes with the job.
What You Get From Us
A replacement starts with us getting on the roof and photographing it, so you can see what is actually up there. We look at the rest of the outside of the house on the same visit, since hail and wind hit the gutters, the paint and the screens too. We keep photographs of finished roofs from our own jobs.
Before anyone from our crews sets foot in your home, they've passed a background check. That's how every job works here, not a one-time promise. We carry general liability and workers compensation insurance, so that risk sits with us rather than with you. If it would help to talk this through in Spanish, some of our salespeople can do that for you. We're also GAF Master Elite certified. That certification is what lets us offer GAF's extended warranty. The rest of its enhanced warranties come with it too, Golden Pledge Limited Warranty included, on qualifying roof systems. We bring about twenty years of hands-on roofing experience to every job. Looking at the roof and pricing the job cost you nothing.
What Is Included in a Roof Replacement
A replacement means the old roof comes off, down to the bare deck. We then check the deck and repair it where it needs it. New underlayment goes down, we replace the flashing and vents, and the new roof goes on. We finish with the cleanup, including running magnets over the ground to pick up nails. Gutters, fascia and siding are separate work.
The word "replacement" does not stretch as far as people expect. Gutters, fascia, siding and skylights are their own jobs. They often get done at the same time and they are often on the same claim. Your estimate should say which of them it covers.
Most replacements here start with a hailstorm.

What a Roof Replacement Involves
The deck is the one part of this job nobody can price honestly in advance. Soft, split or rotten sheathing only shows up once the old roof is stripped. What has gone bad comes out and gets replaced with new material, and you hear about it from us before it is done rather than on the invoice afterwards. The shingles are rarely what fails first either. It is the underlayment beneath them and the metal at every join: flashing, pipe boots, valleys, drip edge, and the ridge and vents that decide how long everything else lasts. Most houses here get architectural shingles, the layered kind that most roofs use now. Impact-rated shingles are built to take a hit better, and they are a real conversation here because the same storms keep coming back. Metal and tile also come up on some houses. Some insurers treat impact-rated roofs differently, and that one is a question for your own policy.
Colorado gives homeowners a handful of protections on a roofing job, and almost nobody explains them.
- Your roofing contract has to be in writing. It has to say what you are getting, roughly when, roughly what it costs, and who insures the contractor.
- If your insurance company turns the claim down, you have three days to cancel the contract. Your deposit comes back to you. That is state law.
- Your deposit is held until the materials show up or most of the work is done.
- A contractor cannot pay, waive or rebate your deductible in Colorado. Anyone offering it is offering to break the law using your claim.
- There is no Colorado state roofing license to ask anyone for. The license that matters is the one your own city issues, so that is the one to ask any roofer about.
- We pull the permit and call for the inspections, so that part is not yours to arrange.
Ventilation on a New Roof
Every tear-off is the one chance to fix how the attic breathes. The vents come off with the old roof, and most crews put back exactly what they took off. If what was up there was wrong to begin with, it's wrong again on the new roof.
Ventilation works in two halves. Cool air comes in low along the eaves, usually through the soffits, and warm damp air leaves high at the ridge. A roof can be covered in vents at the top and still barely move air, because nothing is feeding it from below. Missing or blocked intake is the most common fault on a house, and a mix of different vent types at the top is the next one. Neither is visible from the street.
When it's wrong you pay at both ends of the year. Summer heat builds under the deck and ages the shingles early. In winter, warm air from the house condenses on the cold underside of the deck, which brings frost, damp insulation, ceiling stains that look exactly like a leak, and ice dams at the eaves.
Before the new roof goes on, we look at what's venting the attic now and tell you where it falls short. Shingle manufacturers write their warranties on the assumption that the attic underneath is ventilated, so it's worth settling while the roof is off.
Paying for a Roof Replacement
Either a storm caused it and there is a claim open, or nothing hit the roof and this is coming out of your own pocket. Those are two different conversations.
If a storm caused it.
- There are two ways your policy might pay. Either full replacement cost, or the reduced amount reflecting the old roof's age and wear. Expect that choice to move the total more than anything else.
- Your wind and hail deductible might be bigger than you think. Some Colorado policies calculate it as a percentage of your home's insured value rather than charging one flat number.
- On a replacement cost policy, the last part of the money is held back. It comes once the work is finished and documented. Finishing that paperwork is part of the job, and we do it.
- We write the estimate in the same format your insurance company uses. If the scope misses something, we go back for it. That is normal practice here rather than a fight.
If no storm caused it. Financing through Hearth is available, which is the usual route when there is no claim behind the job.
What to ask about money.
- Is this estimate written at replacement cost or at depreciated value?
- Does it include tear-off and disposal?
- Are gutters and fascia in this number or out of it?
- What happens to the price if bad decking turns up?

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.

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 Replacement Frequently Asked Questions
Is a roof replacement covered by insurance?
It depends on what caused it. Storm and hail damage is usually a claim. Age and ordinary wear aren't. Policies cover sudden damage rather than a roof reaching the end of its life. Check what your own policy says about wind and hail, and what your deductible for it actually comes to.
Do I have to be home while my roof is replaced?
No, but be reachable by phone. Move the cars off the driveway, because that's where the dumpster and the materials go. Plan somewhere else for the pets. Expect real noise for the duration, since a tear-off isn't a quiet job.
Can a roofer pay my insurance deductible?
No, and in Colorado it's against the law. Anyone offering it's telling you something useful about how they work. If it comes up in your driveway, that's the moment to stop the conversation.
Can a roof replacement be financed?
Financing is available through Hearth if you'd like it. That usually comes up on jobs with no insurance claim attached, where you're covering the whole cost yourself.
Does a new roof add value to the house?
It protects the value you already have. It also clears the thing that most often holds up a sale or a refinance. Buyers and lenders both ask about the roof. A new one takes that question off the table.
