Frequently Asked Questions

Hail can crack shingles, dent metal roofing, and compromise flashing, leading to leaks and reduced lifespan. Aurora's frequent hailstorms make regular roof inspections essential. At PJD Construction & Roofing, we assess impact damage and recommend repairs or replacement based on severity and roof age.

Replacement is recommended when your roof is over 20 years old, has widespread damage, or repairs would cost more than half of a new roof. In Aurora, aging roofs often fail due to combined hail damage and UV exposure. Full tear-offs allow for updated ventilation and flashing that extend performance.

Metal roofing resists hail impact, sheds snow efficiently, and reflects UV rays for energy savings in Colorado's sunny, high-altitude climate. It requires minimal maintenance and can last 50+ years. At PJD Construction & Roofing, we install metal systems designed for durability and modern curb appeal.

Gutters channel snowmelt and rain away from foundations, preventing water infiltration, erosion, and ice dam formation. Properly installed systems handle Aurora's freeze-thaw cycles without clogging or overflow. We design gutter installations to complement your roofing system and safeguard siding and landscaping.

Cost depends on roof size, material choice, pitch complexity, and extent of damage requiring tear-off. Upgrading to metal or tile increases durability but raises upfront expense. In Aurora, hail damage often qualifies for insurance claims, which we help homeowners navigate for coverage assistance.

Ventilation prevents heat and moisture buildup that can warp decking, reduce shingle lifespan, and raise cooling costs. Colorado's intense sun and temperature swings make balanced airflow critical. At PJD Construction & Roofing, we install ridge vents and soffit intake during replacements to ensure long-term roof health.

Yes, localized leaks from damaged flashing, missing shingles, or punctures can often be repaired affordably. Repairs extend roof life when the overall system remains sound. We inspect Aurora homes to determine whether targeted fixes or full replacement offers the best value and protection.

TPO is a heat-welded, reflective membrane ideal for energy efficiency, while EPDM is a durable rubber material resistant to temperature extremes. Both suit Colorado's commercial buildings. At PJD Construction & Roofing, we recommend systems based on building use, budget, and expected lifespan for Aurora properties.

Most single-family roof replacements are completed in one to three days, depending on size, material, and weather. Tear-off, underlayment installation, and new roofing require dry conditions. We schedule projects around Aurora's weather patterns and coordinate with homeowners to minimize disruption.

Delaying inspection and insurance claims allows hidden damage to worsen, leading to leaks and denied coverage. Aurora homeowners should document damage and contact a licensed contractor quickly. At PJD Construction & Roofing, we assist with claims documentation and provide detailed assessments to support your filing.
