Complete tear-off
We strip the roof to bare decking, check every board, and replace anything soft, cracked, or UV-compromised before anything new goes on. Grand Valley sun bakes decking faster than most climates, and we do not skip that step.

Roof Replacement in Grand Junction, CO
When repairs no longer add up, we replace your roof with materials chosen for the Grand Valley climate, do the job right the first time, and leave the site clean.
Call (970) 822-0245A roof hits a point where the cost of the next repair, and the one after that, starts to exceed what a full replacement would cost over the same span. Where that crossover falls depends on the age of your roof, how widespread the damage is, and whether the decking underneath is still sound. We look at all of it, take photos, and give you a written estimate that breaks things out clearly, so you can make an informed call rather than a pressured one.
For most Grand Junction homes, replacement means stripping the existing shingles to bare decking, inspecting every board for UV-baked rot or hail damage, installing ice-and-water shield at eaves and valleys, and laying new architectural asphalt shingles rated for our wind and impact loads. We talk through material options honestly, including the trade-offs between standard and impact-resistant shingles for our hail season, and tell you what we would do if it were our own roof.
What's included
Shingles rated for Grand Valley conditions
Architectural asphalt shingles with impact and UV ratings appropriate for Mesa County. We discuss impact-resistant (Class 4) options where the hail risk justifies the upgrade, and walk through what the insurance implications are.
Flashing, ice shield, and ventilation
New shingles are only part of it. We install ice-and-water shield at eaves, re-flash chimneys, pipe boots, and skylights, and verify attic ventilation is balanced. Grand Valley attics can exceed 130 degrees in summer, and poor ventilation accelerates shingle failure from the inside.
Cleanup and nail sweep
A full replacement leaves debris. We haul off everything, run a magnetic nail sweep of the yard and driveway, and leave the property cleaner than we found it.
How it works

Inspection and estimate

Scheduled installation
We work around the Grand Valley weather forecast where we can, protect landscaping and windows before we start, and keep a clean worksite throughout. We aim to have the roof fully closed by end of each day so you are not exposed overnight.

Final walkthrough
Before we leave we walk the perimeter with you, confirm the gutters are clear of debris, and answer any questions about the new roof and what to expect going forward.
In Grand Junction & the Grand Valley
Grand Junction and Mesa County put a roof through a distinct set of stresses. High-desert UV at elevation accelerates granule loss and shingle brittleness faster than lower-altitude climates. The hail season runs roughly May through September, with late-spring storms off the Bookcliffs capable of producing large hail with little warning. Late-summer monsoon moisture adds another cycle. And Western Slope winters bring snow loads that demand proper underlayment and structural pitch clearances.
Most Grand Junction homes in the 1,500 to 2,200 square foot range run one to two days for a full replacement. We give you a realistic timeline in the estimate and plan the schedule around forecast windows when we can.
Questions about roof replacement
What does a roof replacement cost in Grand Junction?
Most single-family homes in the Grand Junction area run roughly $9,000 to $16,000 for a full architectural shingle replacement, depending on roof size, pitch, material grade, and how much decking needs repair. Impact-resistant shingles add cost upfront but may offset it through insurance discounts. We give you a written, itemized estimate so you know exactly what you are paying for before you decide anything.
Will homeowners insurance cover the replacement?
Insurance covers sudden damage from events like hail and wind, not normal wear from age. If storm damage is part of the reason for replacement, we document the damage thoroughly so you have what you need when you talk to your adjuster. We do not make insurance promises, but we do make sure the documentation reflects what we actually found.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most single-family roofs in Grand Junction take one full day of installation. Larger roofs, steep pitches, or significant decking repairs can stretch to two days. We give you a realistic timeline in the estimate.
