Roofing in Stratmoor, Colorado
At 5,787 feet elevation, Stratmoor presents unique challenges for residential roofing. Stratmoor is one of the older communities in the Colorado Springs metro, with roots in the 1950s post-war housing boom that accompanied Fort Carson's growth. The median age is just 30.3 years, reflecting the military family demographic — the area has a greater proportion of military-connected residents than 99.4% of all U.S. neighborhoods. Fort Carson is roughly 10 minutes away, making Stratmoor the closest off-post housing option for soldiers. The community has an unpretentious, working-class character with German (21.6%) and Mexican (20.2%) ancestry prominently represented. Average household income sits at $72,064, and the median rent is $1,320 per month. Younger buyers are discovering the affordable housing stock, but many properties remain long-term family homes passed through generations.
The oldest housing stock in the metro area presents unique challenges. Many homes are on their third or fourth roof, and original 1950s-1970s construction quality varies. Low-hipped roofs — the dominant architectural style — create specific concerns with fewer drainage angles and more flat surface area exposed to hail impact. Multiple re-roof layers are common on homes that have had overlays rather than proper tear-offs. The 37.5% mobile home housing stock requires specialized roofing (rubber, TPO membrane, or metal-over) with different materials and labor than stick-built homes. Smaller lot sizes with mature trees mean tight access for material delivery and debris removal. With median household income around $64,000, homeowners tend to be budget-conscious — insurance claims after storms are often the trigger that finally leads to replacement.
Storm Patterns & Hail History
Stratmoor sits directly in the southern El Paso County hail corridor, sharing storm exposure with Security-Widefield and Fountain. The June 13, 2018 nocturnal supercell dropped 3-inch hail across the southern corridor just south of Stratmoor, causing $169 million in insured losses. The August 6, 2018 storm brought 4-inch softball hail to adjacent Security. The June 21, 2023 severe weather event was particularly significant — the NWS Flash Flood Warning specifically named Stratmoor among the affected areas, and baseball-sized hail fell for up to 75 minutes across the southern metro, with hailstones penetrating through roofs into living spaces in some homes. Over 44,000 properties were impacted, and the event triggered a federal disaster declaration.

Housing & Roofing in Stratmoor
Stratmoor Hills features homes ranging from $320,000 ranch-style to $550,000 multi-car garage properties, bordered by Colorado Springs to the north, east, and west, and Fort Carson to the south. Stratmoor Valley sits between I-25 and the CanAm Highway with a mix of 1960s ranch homes and 2000s-era New Traditional construction — built-in garages or carports, small front lawns, chain-link or picket fencing, and average prices around $330,000. The area has notably more mobile homes than 97.3% of all U.S. neighborhoods, with 37.5% of occupied housing classified as manufactured homes. Over half of properties in the Valley are apartments or rentals. Some properties have been renovated, but many retain their original mid-century character with low-hipped roofs over brick, large unadorned windows, and no gables or over-sized arches. With a median home value of Approximately $302,000 — the most affordable housing in the Colorado Springs metro, roughly 42% below the metro median of $520,000 and homes typically dating from Predominantly 1950s-1970s construction with some 2000s-era New Traditional infill — some of the oldest housing stock in the southern metro. The Stratmoor Hills Water and Sanitation Districts were organized in 1956., understanding your roof's age and condition is essential for long-term protection.
Stratmoor is unincorporated El Paso County spanning roughly 1,699 acres. Permit requirements follow county codes. Multiple re-roof layers may trigger code requirements for a full tear-off before new installation — which is standard practice for us regardless. The area has no HOA governance, giving homeowners complete flexibility in material and color choices.

Stratmoor Roofing Questions
We always recommend a full tear-off down to the decking rather than roofing over existing layers. On older Stratmoor homes — many on their third or fourth roof — this is especially important because it allows us to inspect and replace damaged decking, upgrade ventilation, and ensure the new roof starts on a solid foundation.
In most cases, yes. The truss systems from the 1950s-1970s were built with solid dimensional lumber. We inspect the structural system during every tear-off and address any issues before proceeding. Reinforcement is occasionally needed but is not the norm.
We focus primarily on stick-built residential roofing. Mobile and manufactured homes require specialized roofing systems — rubber membrane, TPO, or metal-over — that differ significantly from standard residential work. We can assess the situation and advise whether it falls within our scope.
Smaller lots and narrow driveways are standard in Stratmoor. We plan material delivery and debris staging carefully to minimize disruption. Our crews are experienced with tight-access properties and use smaller equipment when necessary.
Yes. The NWS Flash Flood Warning for the June 21, 2023 event specifically named Stratmoor among the affected areas. Baseball-sized hail fell for up to 75 minutes, and hailstones penetrated through roofs into living spaces in some homes across the southern metro. Over 44,000 properties were impacted countywide, triggering a federal disaster declaration.
It depends on your plans. If you are staying long-term, a quality roof with Class 4 impact-resistant shingles protects your investment, reduces maintenance costs, and may earn insurance premium discounts. If the home is a rental or investment property, a standard architectural shingle provides solid protection at a lower price point. We give honest recommendations based on your situation.
