Residential roofing in
Colorado Springs.
Not a jack-of-all-trades general contractor. We're a roofing company. That's what we do, every day, for Colorado Springs homeowners. From inspections to full replacements — and everything in between.
Your Roof, Our Focus
L&N Construction is a family-owned roofing company based in Colorado Springs. We've been replacing and repairing roofs across the Pikes Peak region for over 15 years — not chasing storms from state to state, but building a reputation in the community where we live and work.
With more than 1,200 roofs completed, we've worked on practically every type of residential roof in the area. From the older neighborhoods near downtown to newer developments in Falcon and Briargate, we know what Colorado's climate does to roofs — and how to build ones that hold up.
We install Owens Corning shingles, which carry extended warranty options and the training to install every component to manufacturer specifications. That means your warranty actually holds up if you ever need it.

Hail Damage RepairAssessment, documentation, and restoration after Colorado's frequent hail events.

Colorado Springs Roofing Landscape
The housing stock in Colorado Springs is diverse, and the climate is demanding. Here's what we see across the region.
Architectural Shingles
The dominant roofing material across Colorado Springs. Found on the vast majority of homes built after 1990. Multi-layered construction handles wind and hail better than three-tab, and they look significantly better too.
Tile Roofing
Found in higher-end neighborhoods like the Broadmoor and Kissing Camels. Concrete and clay tile offer exceptional longevity but require specialized installation and maintenance — particularly after hail events.
Metal Roofing
Growing in popularity, especially in mountain-adjacent areas like Black Forest and Woodland Park. Standing seam metal handles heavy snow loads, resists hail, and lasts decades longer than asphalt.
Three-Tab Shingles
Still found on many homes built before 2000. While functional, they offer less wind resistance and shorter lifespans than architectural shingles. Most homeowners upgrade to architectural during replacement.
Flat & Low-Slope
Some Colorado Springs homes — particularly mid-century designs and additions — have flat or low-slope sections. These require TPO, EPDM, or modified bitumen systems, not standard shingles.
Cedar Shake
Found on select homes, primarily in older neighborhoods and mountain communities. Cedar looks beautiful but requires regular maintenance and is more vulnerable to Colorado's fire risk than other materials.
Seasonal Roofing Guide for Colorado Springs
Hail Season Prep
Schedule your annual inspection before hail season peaks in May and June. Address winter damage, check flashing, and clear debris from valleys and gutters.
Best for Replacement
Warm, dry weather means optimal shingle adhesion and predictable scheduling. Summer is peak demand after spring hail — schedule early for shorter wait times.
Maintenance Window
Address any hail or storm damage from summer. Clear leaves from gutters and valleys. Last chance for replacements before winter temperatures drop below 40 degrees.
Ice Dam Prevention
Proper attic ventilation prevents ice dams. If you see icicles forming at the eaves, it's a sign of inadequate ventilation. Emergency repairs are available but full replacements wait for warmer weather.

Residential Roofing Questions
We recommend an annual inspection, ideally in spring after winter weather and before hail season. You should also schedule an inspection after any significant storm — hail, high wind, or heavy snow. Many issues are invisible from the ground but easy to catch during a professional walkthrough.
For most homes, architectural shingles (like Owens Corning Duration) offer the best balance of durability, appearance, and cost. Impact-resistant Class 4 shingles are worth the upgrade in our hail-prone area — they can reduce your insurance premiums by 15 to 28%. Metal roofing is growing in popularity for homeowners who want a 50+ year solution.
Standard three-tab shingles typically last 12 to 18 years in Colorado's climate. Architectural shingles last 20 to 30 years. Impact-resistant shingles can go 25 to 35 years. Metal roofing lasts 40 to 70 years. The wide ranges reflect differences in quality, ventilation, and exposure — south-facing slopes wear faster at our altitude.
Yes, the City of Colorado Springs requires a building permit for roof replacements. Permits are generally not required for minor repairs under a certain square footage threshold. We handle all permitting as part of our standard process — you don't need to visit the building department.
Many Colorado Springs HOAs have specific requirements for shingle color, style, and material. Communities like Briargate, Northgate, and Flying Horse often require architectural shingles in approved color palettes. We work with your HOA requirements and can help you submit samples for approval before ordering materials.
Look for local contractors — not storm chasers who follow hail from state to state. Verify their Colorado contractor license, liability insurance, and workers' comp. Check their Google reviews and BBB rating. Ask about manufacturer certifications (like Owens Corning Preferred) which indicate training and quality commitment. Get everything in writing before work starts.

Architectural Shingle Roof Installation
Two crews can install the same shingle from the same pallet and produce roofs that behave completely differently a few years in. This page is about the installation rather than the product, because that is where competing bids actually differ and none of it is visible from the ground once the job is done. We walk through tear-off to the deck, deck inspection, ice barrier and underlayment, starter course and drip edge, nailing to the manufacturer pattern, and valleys and flashing, plus impact rating and pitch limits for Colorado Springs homes. Read it to know what to ask before signing.
Roof Inspections
A roof inspection is a structured, documented look at every major component of your roof, from shingles and flashings down to the decking. Most homeowners in Colorado Springs only think about one after a storm, and by then small problems have become expensive ones. This article explains what gets checked, when you need an inspection, whether routine maintenance, after hail or wind, or before a home sale, and what a written report should include. It closes with the warning signs that mean you should call now. Read it to know what a thorough inspection looks like before booking one.
Asphalt Shingle Roofing
Asphalt shingles cover most residential roofs in Colorado Springs, and choosing the right type, rating and brand matters more here than almost anywhere else because altitude, hail and UV are harder on roofing than most homeowners realize. This guide compares three-tab, standard architectural, Class 4 impact-resistant, enhanced color depth and premium slate-look shingles, and explains what an impact rating can mean for your insurance. We install Owens Corning products and will tell you honestly which line fits your roof and your HOA. Read it to compare options before you commit to a replacement.
Metal Roofing in Colorado Springs
At this elevation Colorado Springs throws everything at a roof: hail, UV, wind, snow and big temperature swings in a single day. Metal roofing is built for exactly that punishment. This page covers standing seam, metal shingles and stone-coated steel, the benefits that matter here, including hail resistance, Class 4 impact rating, snow shedding, UV reflection and thermal cycling durability, and how we handle a metal install from assessment and material selection through tear-off, deck inspection, underlayment, flashing and trim. Read it if you are weighing metal against shingles for a home in Monument, Black Forest or Falcon.
Residential Roof Replacement
Most roofing pages will not tell you what a roof costs. This one shows real Xactimate line items from Colorado Springs estimates and explains what each one is paying for: tear-off and disposal, underlayment, ice and water barrier, ridge, hip and ventilation, and flashing and penetrations. It also covers the complexity factors that move the number, such as steep pitch, cut-up roofs, chimneys and skylights, a Class 4 upgrade and decking replacement. We would rather you read a bid than just receive one. Open it to understand your own estimate line by line before you compare contractors.
Roof Decking Repair & Replacement
Roof decking, also called sheathing, is the layer everything else is nailed to, and the only layer you get to see for a few hours every couple of decades. It is also the most common reason a roof job costs more than the estimate said. This page shows what we find under Colorado Springs roofs, including rot at penetrations, delaminated OSB, ice dam damage at the eaves and old plank sheathing, and how we handle it honestly: rate agreed before tear-off, sheets counted and documented for the claim, and supplements filed while the roof is open. Read it before tear-off.
Roof & Attic Ventilation
Ventilation is the part of a roof nobody asks about and nearly every failing roof has a problem with. It is the cheapest thing to fix while the roof is open and the most expensive afterwards. This page explains how an attic is supposed to breathe and what goes wrong in Colorado Springs when it does not: ice damming, shingles cooked from below, condensation and frost, and decking degradation. It also lays out how we assess it, checking intake first, using one exhaust type per space, and itemizing the work. Read it if you get ice dams every winter.
