Roofing in Security-Widefield, Colorado
At 5,700 feet elevation, Security-Widefield presents unique challenges for residential roofing. Security-Widefield grew up around Fort Carson and Peterson Space Force Base, creating a tight-knit community with strong military roots. Housing is among the most affordable in the Colorado Springs metro, attracting first-time buyers and young military families. The Widefield School District 3 serves as a community hub.
The primary challenge is the age of housing stock. Many homes still have original roof trusses and decking from the 1960s-1970s that may need reinforcement during replacement. Older ventilation systems often need updating to meet current code. Mature trees overhang many roofs, trapping moisture and dropping debris into valleys and gutters.
Storm Patterns & Hail History
Security-Widefield catches storms as they move south through the Front Range corridor. The area experienced significant hail damage during the June 2018 storm that swept across southern Colorado Springs. Older roofing materials on 1970s homes are particularly vulnerable -- many had not been replaced since original construction before recent storm cycles forced upgrades.

Housing & Roofing in Security-Widefield
Compact ranch homes and bi-levels on modest lots, many originally built as military family housing. Brick facades are common in the Widefield section. Lots are typically smaller than newer developments, with mature trees providing some hail buffer but also creating debris risks. With a median home value of Approximately $350,000 and homes typically dating from Predominantly 1960s-1980s construction built during Fort Carson's expansion, with scattered infill development in the 2000s, understanding your roof's age and condition is essential for long-term protection.
Security-Widefield is unincorporated El Paso County, so county building permits apply. The area has few HOAs compared to newer developments, giving homeowners more flexibility in material and color choices.

Security-Widefield Roofing Questions
In most cases, yes. We inspect the roof decking and trusses during every tear-off. If we find deteriorated decking or outdated ventilation, we address it as part of the replacement. Structural issues are uncommon but worth checking on homes of this vintage.
They can. Overhanging branches trap moisture against shingles, accelerating algae growth and granule loss. Fallen branches during storms cause direct impact damage. We recommend trimming branches to at least 6 feet from the roof surface and clearing gutters regularly.
Architectural asphalt shingles offer the best balance of durability and affordability for this area. Given the hail risk, upgrading to Class 4 impact-resistant shingles is worth considering -- the insurance premium savings often offset the higher material cost within a few years.
Major storms affect the entire region simultaneously, so demand spikes everywhere. We serve our existing customers and scheduled appointments first, regardless of location. Calling early after a storm event is the best way to get on the schedule quickly.
