Roofing in Black Forest, Colorado

What the roofs are like in Black Forest

Black Forest is unincorporated El Paso County northeast of Colorado Springs: custom homes and cabins on 2.5- to 40-acre lots in a ponderosa pine forest. Roofs range from older wood shake to architectural shingles to standing-seam metal, much of it rebuilt after the 2013 Black Forest Fire destroyed 486 homes, according to the El Paso County Assessor.

Every roof we install here is Class A fire-rated, the highest rating for resisting embers and flame. Standing-seam metal is the most common upgrade: it sheds needles and snow, doesn't burn, and lasts for decades. Class A architectural shingles are the budget option.

Common roofing jobs in Black Forest

• Replacing wood shake with Class A shingles or metal
• Standing-seam and exposed-fastener metal roofs on homes, barns and shops
• Clearing needles from valleys and gutters, and adding gutter guards
• Hail and wind repairs on long, exposed rooflines

Outbuildings too

Barns, shops and detached garages are welcome. Metal on an outbuilding can often be done the same week as the house.
