Serving Windsor and Northern Colorado
Roofing Company in Windsor, Colorado
Need a roof repaired or replaced in Windsor? Drennen Custom Contracting evaluates your roof, explains the options, and provides a detailed written estimate. We serve Windsor from our Fort Collins office and welcome second opinions on existing roofing proposals.
A useful estimate explains the roof system: shingles, flashing, ventilation, known repairs, and the work included in the price. Tell us what you are seeing and whether you need a repair assessment or a replacement estimate.
Our estimates are built around the complete roof system — not only the field shingles. That includes decking, waterproofing, wall flashing, penetrations, ventilation, permit coordination, cleanup, warranty options, and the adjacent construction that makes the roof watertight. Also serving Fort Collins — view our Fort Collins roofing page. Drennen also serves as a Greeley roofing contractor and provides roofing services in Loveland.
Drennen also installs metal roofing systems in Windsor and Northern Colorado.
Windsor extends across Weld and Larimer counties, and nearby properties can fall under different authorities. Drennen verifies the permitting jurisdiction for the exact address before work begins.
Why Windsor Homeowners Choose Drennen
Serving Northern Colorado since 1973

General-contractor perspective
Drennen evaluates roofing together with decking, flashing, fascia, siding transitions, and ventilation instead of treating every component in isolation.
Repair when repair is appropriate
If a targeted repair is the responsible recommendation, Drennen provides that option instead of automatically recommending replacement.
Detailed written estimates
Scopes identify materials, accessories, ventilation work, and known repairs so homeowners can make meaningful comparisons between proposals.
Second opinions welcome
Drennen can review another roofing proposal, explain unclear items, and identify meaningful scope differences.

A Windsor Roof, Up Close
This Windsor roof walkthrough shows shingle-covered roof slopes, a ridge, roof penetrations, and a brick chimney. It gives homeowners a close view of details that matter when discussing a roofing scope.
For your own property, ask which flashing, penetrations, ventilation details, and repairs are included in the proposal. A written scope makes it easier to compare a repair recommendation with a replacement estimate.
Replacement cost ranges reflect Fort Collins projects. Windsor pricing depends on the specific scope, jurisdiction, and materials.
Town of Windsor Permits and Inspections
The Town of Windsor requires a building permit to re-roof a house so required inspections can confirm compliance with the adopted building code. Windsor states that the 2024 International Codes became effective January 1, 2026.
The town uses Community Core for online permit accounts and applications. Building inspection requests are coordinated through SAFEbuilt under the town's current instructions. Procedures, contacts, forms, and fees can change, so Drennen verifies them before each project.
- Confirm Town of Windsor jurisdiction.
- Apply through the current permit system.
- Build to the adopted code and Windsor amendments.
- Coordinate required inspection requests.
- Complete permit closeout and retain the record.
Properties outside Town of Windsor limits may follow Weld County, Larimer County, Severance, or another authority. The governing agency's current requirements control.
For permit and code information, see Town of Windsor building information.
A Detailed 2026 Windsor Roof Example
One recent Windsor project shows why size alone cannot explain price.
Measured tear-off area
26.15 roofing squares
Installed material quantity
29.64 roofing squares, reflecting starter, ridge, cuts, and expected waste
Pre-project-specific-discount total
Approximately $19,600
The project included much more than removing and replacing shingles:
- Six sheets of roof-deck replacement.
- Chimney waterproofing and counterflashing.
- Approximately 234 linear feet of sidewall and headwall flashing.
- Eight pipe jacks.
- Two dedicated bath-exhaust roof vents.
- A combustion-vent cap.
- Roof-deck intake ventilation and high exhaust ventilation.
- Ice-and-water barrier and synthetic underlayment.
- Drip edge, valley metal, starter shingles, and related accessories.
- Owens Corning Duration FLEX SBS Class 4 field shingles and impact-resistant ridge.
A simpler 26-square roof may cost less. This project demonstrates the value of publishing the complete scope beside the price.
The example is anonymized and rounded. It is not an offer, insurance estimate, or guaranteed price for another property.
What Makes Windsor Roofs Different From One Another?
Front Range hail exposure and open terrain
Windsor's location on the Front Range and its open terrain mean hail is a practical consideration, not just a marketing claim. Material selection, fastening patterns, ventilation design, and impact resistance all matter when specifying a roof system for this area. Class 4 shingles are not hail-proof, but they represent the highest UL 2218 impact-resistance classification and are worth evaluating alongside conventional options. Drennen does not guarantee an insurance discount for any specific product — homeowners should confirm current underwriting treatment with their insurer.
Newer subdivisions and complex roof shapes
Many Windsor homes have multiple hips, valleys, dormers, walls, porches, and garage rooflines. Those details increase material waste and flashing work even when the home's floor area is moderate.
Long roof-to-wall transitions
Sidewalls and headwalls require properly sequenced step flashing, apron or headwall flashing, water-resistive layers, siding integration, and gutter kickouts. Reusing incomplete metal can undermine an otherwise new roof.
Wind exposure
Open terrain and neighborhood layout can increase wind exposure. Shingle selection, starter, edge fastening, ridge, deck attachment, and manufacturer instructions must be coordinated with the adopted code and site.
Ventilation in tightly built homes
Newer construction can still have blocked soffits, undersized intake, disconnected bath ducts, competing vents, or attic zones that do not communicate. Drennen calculates the net-free area rather than assuming the original system was balanced.
Jurisdiction boundaries
Windsor-area mailing addresses may be controlled by the town or a county. Permit fees, code amendments, inspection methods, and Class 4 requirements can differ. Correct jurisdiction research prevents schedule and compliance problems.
The Drennen Windsor Roofing Process
- 1
Inspect and measure
We identify roof area, geometry, layers, pitch, stories, access, penetrations, walls, decking indicators, ventilation, and related repairs.
- 2
Verify jurisdiction
Drennen confirms the authority having jurisdiction and current permit, code, and inspection procedures.
- 3
Specify the complete roof
The proposal names the exact shingles or membrane, underlayment, waterproofing, starter, ridge, flashing, vents, known repairs, open items, warranty, and price.
- 4
Protect the property
Landscaping, siding, windows, patios, driveways, gutters, and neighboring areas are considered in the staging and cleanup plan.
- 5
Tear off and document
The old roof is removed, the deck is inspected, and hidden conditions are photographed and handled under the written change-order process.
- 6
Install, inspect, and close out
The approved system is installed, required inspections are coordinated, the site is cleaned, and final product and warranty records are provided.
Class 4 and SBS Options for Windsor
A Class 4 rating identifies the highest classification in the UL 2218 steel-ball impact test, but it does not make a roof hail-proof. Drennen helps compare conventional architectural shingles, non-SBS Class 4 products, and SBS polymer-modified Class 4 systems.
Duration FLEX is one SBS option currently described by Owens Corning as UL 2218 Class 4 and equipped with SureNail technology. The installed system should also use intentional starter, ridge, underlayment, flashing, and ventilation components.
Ask the insurance agent whether the exact product qualifies for a discount or underwriting benefit and how the policy handles roof age, cosmetic damage, depreciation, and wind-and-hail deductibles.
Compare Class 4 Roofing SystemsRoof Repairs in Windsor
Repair can be appropriate when the defect is localized and the surrounding roof remains serviceable. Drennen repairs:
- Missing or damaged shingles.
- Pipe jacks and exposed fasteners.
- Sidewall, headwall, chimney, and kickout flashing.
- Bath, kitchen, combustion, and static roof vents.
- Valleys and low-slope transitions.
- Decking, soffit, fascia, and siding damage.
- Ventilation and accessible exhaust-duct problems.
- Localized storm damage and maintenance items.
A repair proposal should identify the work area and limitations. It does not convert the remainder of an older roof into a warranted new system.
How to Compare Roofing Companies in Windsor
Choosing among roofing companies in Windsor requires more than comparing prices. Windsor-area properties can fall under the Town of Windsor, Weld County, Larimer County, or another jurisdiction depending on the parcel, and the permit requirements differ meaningfully between them. Drennen Custom Contracting has served Northern Colorado since 1973 and works in Windsor from its established Fort Collins office.
When reviewing bids, ask each contractor about these specifics:
- Applicable licensing, registration, and insurance — verify any contractor requirements imposed by the governing jurisdiction and confirm that appropriate insurance is current for the work being performed.
- Governing jurisdiction — verify whether the property is under the Town of Windsor, Weld County, Larimer County, or another authority, and that the contractor has confirmed this for your specific address.
- Scope completeness — ask whether flashing, ventilation, underlayment, decking repair, penetrations, cleanup, and permit fees are included or excluded from the proposal.
- Exact roofing system — request the manufacturer name, product line, and grade in writing rather than a general material description.
- Written warranty terms — review both the workmanship warranty and the manufacturer warranty, and ask what conditions would void either.
- Documentation and change orders — understand how the contractor handles hidden conditions discovered during tear-off and how any additional costs are communicated and approved.
