Roofing Highlands Ranch homes never stops

Highlands Ranch roofing companies rarely get any rest. Whether it’s winter or summer, you can usually hear the sound of a roofing nail gun. Recently the weather  has been snowy, but come next week, the 50 degree temperatures return, along with the roofing crews.

New Roof Plus has an office in Highlands Ranch and one of it’s owners has lived there most of his life. We take a lot of pride in serving this fine area. A weird thing about Highlands Ranch is that there is no elected government. It is owned and managed by a corporation – Shea Homes. There is no mayor. It’s not technically a city. According to Wikipedia Highlands Ranch is called a “census designated place”. That’s awesome!

“So do you live in the city, the country or a census designated place?”

No matter what they call it, it is a very beautiful place to live, great schools, wonderful trails, a few good restaurants and great people from all over the USA. It is a melting pot like much of Denver.

If your Highlands Ranch home needs a roof inspection, please give us a call. We are the best at it and since we have an office in town – we can be there fast!

Merry Christmas Baby!  Santa gave you a new roof!

This home in Colorado Springs got a new roof for Christmas. The mild weather provided an opportunity for people to get a new roof installed during early January. Our weather, as we know, can be warm andgorgeous or snowy this time of year.  As long as the roof decking is clear of snow and ice and the outside temperature isn’t too low, we can install roofs year ’round.

This home is located near the beautiful Broadmoor area of Colorado Springs  got a new roof from insurance proceeds. This area was hit twice this past year with hail. Some people had their roof replaced after both events! Ugh -not fun for them.  If your neighborhood had hail this past year give us a call and will inspect your roof for free. We are certified roof inspectors by Haag – Haag is the most prestigious and recognized name in certification for roofing contractors. The insurance industry recognizes this credential as valuable. We are often called for our expertise in inspections.

New skylights with a New Roof

New roof, new skylight!

The perfect time to to install a new skylight is when you are getting a new roof. This is a Velux skylight installed during a new roof installation. Skylights can be great for interior spaces that do not get enough natural sunlight. New Roof Plus installs new skylights in many varieties.

Another skylight option are”Solar Tubes”. Solar tubes are designed to reflect the sun light into a small opening but because of the reflective material, a lot of light is condensed into the tube – creating a bright natural light in a space that might otherwise be dark. An expample of placements for solar tubes can be interior bathrooms without windows, laundry rooms, utility rooms, garages and hallways.

Since the installation requires a roof decking penetration, the best time to install a new skylight or solar tube is when you are getting a new roof.

The project in this picture shows a new Highlands Ranch roof with skylight.

 

 

Christmas Lights with the Griswolds

Man putting up lights on house for Christmas
Clark! Be careful Clark!

Here we go – time to hang the lights on the house. As Clark Griswold made famous in “Christmas Vacation”, the goal is to put up more lights than anyone else. Get your staple gun out, go to Home Depot and buy all the lights you can. Climb on the roof and start nailing!

We don’t recommend this actually. As Clark learned, falling off a roof isn’t that hard to do. We climb up on roofs every day. But we’re trained professionals. It’s still dangerous. Especially if there is any snow or ice. Even hanging lights on the gutters like this guy is doing is actually quite dangerous. See how he is leaning out to place just another small section of lights… We’ve all done it but it’s not wise. Stay centered on your ladder. Take a few more minutes and move the ladder more often to keep your weight centered. And always have a spotter holding the ladder in place.

Enjoy your Holidays and be safe. Call us with any roofing concerns you might have.

Sincerely,

~Greg and the New Roof Plus Team
