“Ice dam damage in Littleton — water was coming through the ceiling. Apex did an emergency repair and then came back in spring to fix the underlying ventilation issue. Problem hasn't returned.”
“Hail damage claim in Highlands Ranch handled start to finish. They met the adjuster, documented everything with photos, and the new roof went on within 10 days of approval.”
“Great crew, showed up on time in Aurora despite the snow. Professional, clean, and the estimate was accurate to the penny.”
Our Approach
Roof Repair in Denver
Denver's freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snow loads, and frequent hailstorms create a demanding environment for roofing materials — ice dams form when poor insulation melts snow unevenly, and spring hail can destroy a roof that survived the entire winter.
Roof repair in Denver operates on two distinct seasonal clocks that don't exist in most other markets: the fall rush to address summer hail damage before winter locks the roof under snow, and the spring assessment window when ice dam damage from the previous winter becomes fully visible. Denver's Front Range hailstorm season runs from May through August, and the combination of afternoon convective instability and the high plains elevation — storms here carry higher terminal velocity due to the thinner air at 5,280 feet — means Denver has one of the highest hail frequency rates in the country. In Aurora and Highlands Ranch, where master-planned subdivisions built in the late 1990s and 2000s are now reaching shingle replacement age, a single large hail event will damage dozens of homes on the same street simultaneously. We see impact patterns that vary by roof slope and compass orientation: shallow-pitch sections that face west toward the typical storm track absorb the most impact energy, while steeper north-facing slopes sometimes show minimal damage from the same storm. Accurate scope writing — documenting which slopes, which areas, and the measured hail density per 100 square feet — is critical for a fair insurance adjustment. In Littleton's older neighborhoods near Chatfield Reservoir, ice dam repair is equally common as hail repair. Ice dams form when inadequate attic insulation allows heat to escape through the deck, melting snow at the center of the roof while the eave remains frozen. Water backs up behind the ice ridge and works under shingles and the existing ice-and-water shield — or, on older homes, under the felt that predates modern ice dam protection membranes. We repair the immediate water intrusion damage, then address the root cause by adding blown-in attic insulation to bring the R-value to Colorado Energy Code minimums, which prevents recurrence far more effectively than any roofing repair alone.
When a severe storm, fallen tree limb, or sudden wind event tears open your roof, the clock starts immediately. Water that enters through missing shingles, cracked decking, or compromised flashing reaches your attic insulation, ceiling joists, and drywall within hours — and mold colonization can begin in as little as 24 to 48 hours in humid conditions. Apex Roofing Solutions operates emergency response teams equipped with heavy-duty polyethylene tarps, self-sealing underlayment, and the tools to make immediate watertight repairs at any hour. Our GAF Master Elite certification means we carry premium materials on every truck, so temporary stabilization can often become a permanent repair on the same visit. We also photograph and document all storm damage for your insurance carrier before touching a single shingle.
Inspection-first repairs with photo documentation and root-cause fixes — not just surface patches
Problems We Solve
-
Exposed roof decking absorbs rainwater within minutes, causing OSB panels to swell, delaminate, and lose structural integrity — damage that turns a $600 repair into a $4,000 decking replacement
-
Saturated attic insulation loses its R-value permanently and becomes a breeding ground for mold that spreads to framing and drywall before it is ever visible from inside the home
-
Improperly applied emergency tarps that tear loose in a second storm or allow water to funnel under the edges cause more damage than the original impact — professional tarping with batten boards and proper overlap is critical
-
Many storm-damage insurance claims are denied or underpaid when homeowners wait days to document damage, allowing adjusters to argue that water intrusion was pre-existing or maintenance-related
-
Storm events that affect entire neighborhoods mean roofing contractors are booked out for weeks — without a relationship with a certified contractor who prioritizes emergency calls, your home sits open while others get repaired first
-
Leaks causing interior damage to ceilings, walls, and insulation
-
Missing or damaged shingles after storms leaving the deck exposed
-
Recurring repairs that fail within months because root causes aren't addressed

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can Apex respond to an emergency roof repair call?
We aim to have a crew on-site within 2 to 4 hours for active leaks during business hours, and within 4 to 6 hours for after-hours emergency calls. Our service area spans multiple metro markets and we keep emergency crews on standby during storm watch periods. Call our emergency line directly — do not submit a web form if water is actively entering your home.
What does emergency tarping actually involve, and will it hold through another storm?
Professional emergency tarping uses 6-mil or heavier polyethylene sheeting that overlaps the ridge by at least 4 feet on each side, secured with 2×4 batten boards nailed through the tarp into the decking — not just bungee cords or weights. This method can withstand winds up to 60 mph when done correctly. We use materials rated for the specific conditions in your region and document the installation for insurance purposes.
Should I try to patch my roof myself while waiting for a contractor?
Only if it is safe to do so and you can stay off the roof — interior measures like buckets and plastic sheeting over belongings are safe. Walking on a storm-damaged roof is extremely hazardous due to weakened decking and slippery surfaces, and amateur repairs using roofing cement or household caulk can actually trap moisture under the existing shingles, worsening rot and voiding insurance claims that might otherwise cover the full repair.
Will my homeowner's insurance cover an emergency roof repair?
Most standard HO-3 homeowner's policies cover sudden storm damage — wind, hail, falling objects — under the dwelling coverage. They typically do not cover gradual deterioration or maintenance failures. Apex documents all damage with timestamped photos before any work begins, provides a detailed scope-of-work report formatted to insurance adjuster standards, and can participate in adjuster inspections. Our insurance claim expertise has helped hundreds of homeowners recover full replacement cost rather than settling for ACV (actual cash value) payouts.
What is the difference between an emergency repair and a permanent repair?
An emergency repair — tarping, sealing exposed nail holes, temporarily re-securing lifted shingles with roofing cement — is designed to stop water intrusion immediately and buy time for a proper assessment. A permanent repair involves removing damaged material down to the decking, inspecting and replacing any compromised OSB or plywood, installing new ice-and-water shield at vulnerable penetrations, and laying new shingles with the correct nail pattern and wind uplift rating. We always present both options with pricing so you can decide based on your insurance outcome and timeline.
How do I know if my roof needs a full replacement versus a repair after storm damage?
The threshold is typically 25 to 30 percent of total roof area damaged — at that point, most insurance policies and roofing manufacturers recommend full replacement because patching disparate sections creates mismatched wear rates and potential water-shedding problems at the seams. Apex provides a free damage assessment that quantifies affected square footage, evaluates the condition of the remaining shingles, and gives you an honest recommendation — not the answer that maximizes our invoice.
How quickly can you come out?
Availability depends on season and weather; urgent issues are prioritized and typically assessed within the same business day.
What is your typical response time for emergencies?
We prioritize emergency calls and aim to assess within the same business day; critical situations are escalated immediately.
Do you offer after-hours emergency service?
We accept after-hours emergency inquiries and follow up as quickly as possible; call us directly for the fastest response.
Is it safe to do roof repairs during rain or high winds?
Safety comes first — we assess conditions before work begins and will advise on timing if weather poses a risk.
What should I do right now to minimize damage while I wait?
Place buckets under active drips, move valuables from affected areas, and avoid the attic during heavy rain. We'll handle everything else.
Do you work on roofs in my neighbourhood?
We serve a defined local service area. Provide your address when booking and we'll confirm coverage immediately.
