Storm damage roof in Wheat Ridge.

Is your Wheat Ridge roof losing granules after a hailstorm, dropping shingles in high wind, or letting water into the ceiling?

Each of these has its own signature. Hail bruises the shingle mat and knocks granules loose, which is easy to miss from the ground but shows up fast under a trained eye. High wind gets under shingle tabs and ridge caps and peels them back or off entirely, especially where the seal strip has already weakened. A ceiling leak, on the other hand, usually means flashing around a vent, chimney, or valley has failed rather than the field of the roof itself. A free inspection sorts out which one is actually happening on your roof.

What Wheat Ridge homes are up against

The National Insurance Crime Bureau's review of hail loss claims from 2017 through 2019 put Colorado second in the nation with 380,066 claims filed statewide, a market that Wheat Ridge is part of along with the rest of the Front Range.

That same review named Denver, with 51,887 claims, and Colorado Springs, with 38,044, among the top five U.S. cities for hail claims during that stretch. Those totals are specific to those two cities, but they show why hail is treated as a routine risk by insurers writing policies across the whole state, Wheat Ridge included.

The single biggest driver behind the state's claim numbers was the May 8, 2017 hailstorm. The National Weather Service office in Boulder, citing the Rocky Mountain Insurance Agency Association, calls it Colorado's most expensive insured catastrophe at around $2.3 billion.

Colorado law also protects Wheat Ridge homeowners once a claim is underway: a roofing contractor can't advertise or promise to pay, waive, or rebate any part of your deductible, and you can cancel a roofing contract within 72 hours of written notice that your insurer denied the claim in whole or in part.
