Trusted Roofing & Siding Contractor in Lakewood
Lakewood is the Denver metro's great mid-century time capsule. Colorado's fifth-largest city by population1 is dominated by thousands of ranch-style homes built during the 1950s and 1960s, when Lakewood transformed from agricultural land into one of Denver's first true suburbs.5 Those homes — with their low-slope gable roofs, original aluminum or wood siding, and single-pane windows — represent both Lakewood's charm and its most pressing exterior maintenance challenge. Many of these roofs are now on their third or fourth set of shingles, installed over decking that has never been properly inspected. The siding on countless Lakewood ranches is original, warped by sixty years of Colorado sun and ready to be replaced with something that will last another sixty.
But Lakewood is not frozen in the past. The Belmar district brought contemporary townhomes and mixed-use development to the site of the former Villa Italia Mall, introducing modern rooflines and composite exteriors to a city that had been defined by its ranches. Near Green Mountain, custom homes on larger lots sit at elevations approaching 6,000 feet1, where snow loads are heavier and the wind exposure from the west is more significant.2 The Applewood neighborhood, tucked between I-70 and the foothills, combines older homes with mature landscaping that creates unique access challenges for roofing crews — challenges we have navigated hundreds of times.
We have become Lakewood's go-to exterior contractor by specializing in exactly what this city needs most: turning aging mid-century homes into energy-efficient, visually striking properties without losing the neighborhood character that makes Lakewood special. A James Hardie siding transformation on a 1958 Lakewood ranch does not just improve curb appeal — it typically adds $15,000 to $25,000 in home value. Pair it with a new roof and energy-efficient windows, and you have a home that performs like it was built yesterday while retaining the generous lot sizes and mature trees that new construction simply cannot replicate.

Lakewood spans a wider elevation range than most Denver-area cities, climbing from approximately 5,400 feet in the eastern flatlands near Sheridan Boulevard to over 6,000 feet on the slopes of Green Mountain.1 This 600-foot elevation difference within a single city means that western Lakewood neighborhoods experience measurably heavier snowfall, stronger winds, and more intense UV exposure than homes just a few miles east.2 Green Mountain itself acts as a localized weather modifier, deflecting and intensifying storm systems in ways that create distinct micro-climates across the city.
Eastern and central Lakewood sit squarely in the hail zone that tracks along the I-70 corridor.3 Major hail events in this part of Lakewood have produced damage claims that rival any city on the Front Range.3 The flat, open terrain in these areas provides no natural wind break, meaning that hailstones arrive at full velocity and shingles bear the full impact. After significant hail events, we routinely see damage patterns in central Lakewood that are more severe than in cities further from the storm track.
Lakewood's many mid-century homes present a specific vulnerability: original roof decking from the 1950s and 1960s that has spent six decades absorbing Colorado's thermal cycling. Plywood and OSB from this era were not manufactured to modern standards, and decades of expansion and contraction have left many sheets warped, delaminated, or soft. Any responsible roof replacement in Lakewood must include a thorough decking inspection — something we perform on every project, regardless of the home's age.
