Arvada Roofing, From Olde Town to Candelas
Arvada now requires Class 4 impact-resistant shingles on a new roof, and every reroof gets a mid-roof inspection. What else your roof needs depends on where you live: old layers and board decking around Olde Town, hail damage on the newer west side.
What Arvada Roofs Are Actually Like
Around Olde Town, homes are older and often smaller, with the layered roofs and older decking that come with age. Out west, in Candelas, Leyden Rock and West Woods, homes are recent, so most replacements follow storms rather than age, and most of those run through an insurance claim rather than out of pocket.
So which conversation you’ll have depends on where you live. On an older Olde Town roof it’s about condition and code. On a newer west Arvada roof it’s usually about a claim, and whether the settlement actually covers the work.

Arvada, From Olde Town Outward
- Olde Town Arvada. The historic core, with some of the oldest homes we work on anywhere. Expect several old layers, board decking and chimneys, and roofs that have been patched many times over the decades.
- The mid-century neighborhoods around it. 1950s through 1970s ranches and split-levels, many on a second or third roof and due for a proper look at the decking and ventilation.
- Ralston Valley. 1990s homes, now at the age where an original roof is truly worn out even without a storm.
- West Woods. 1990s and 2000s homes on the west side, with bigger, more complicated roofs.
- Candelas and Leyden Rock. Recent construction. First roofs, so a replacement here almost always follows hail.
Two Different Conversations
On an older Olde Town house, the question is condition: how much life your roof has left, what the decking looks like, and whether it’s been patched past the point where patching makes sense. The answer is often a repair, and we’ll say so.
On a newer west Arvada house, the question is damage: was your roof hit, and is it documented well enough that the insurance scope matches what’s actually up there. That’s where our photographs and our time on the roof with your adjuster count.
Newer Roofs and Builder-Grade Shingles
Most new subdivisions are roofed with a builder-grade shingle chosen for price. It does the job at first, but it has less impact resistance and a shorter life than better lines. When a Candelas or Leyden Rock roof does need replacing, it’s your chance to step up to a shingle that stands up to the next storm better, and we’ll show you the real difference in cost between the options.
Arvada has raised the bar on its own, too. Under the city's current building code amendments, new roofs must use Class 4 impact-resistant materials, and every reroof gets a mid-roof inspection.

Arvada Roofing Questions
My Candelas roof is only a few years old and looks fine. Should I get it checked after hail?
Yes. Hail damage on a newer shingle is usually bruising you can’t see from the ground, and it shortens the roof’s life even when nothing leaks yet. An inspection is free, and if there’s nothing there, we’ll tell you so.
Can an older Olde Town house take a modern architectural shingle?
Almost always, once the old layers are off and the decking is sound. Architectural shingles also hide the unevenness of an older roofline better than the old flat three-tab styles did.
Is it worth upgrading from a builder-grade shingle?
In Arvada the impact rating isn’t optional anymore: the city now requires Class 4 impact-resistant roofing on a new roof. Within that, we’ll show you good, better and best options side by side, including what each manufacturer actually warrants, and you choose.
