Roofing in Centennial, Colorado

What Centennial Roofs Are Actually Like

The Southglenn and Willow Creek areas are largely 1970s and 1980s homes, many now on their second or third roof. Piney Creek and the Foxridge area skew slightly newer. A lot of Centennial housing stock has moderate to steep pitches with complex intersecting rooflines, which is where cheap workmanship shows up first. Valleys, step flashing and chimney details are the failure points, not the field shingles.

We inspect the details other crews rush. Most leaks we get called to were never a shingle problem.

Centennial, West to East

Centennial is a young city, incorporated in 2001, but many of its neighborhoods are not young at all. The roofs change as you move east.

• Southglenn and the west side. Some of the oldest housing in the city, much of it now on a second or third roof. This is where we most often find tired decking and old roof vents that were never updated.
• Willow Creek. Established streets with mature trees over a lot of the roofs. Trees are lovely and hard on a roof: shade, leaf debris in the valleys and branches rubbing the shingles all shorten its life.
• Foxridge. Steeper pitches and more intersecting rooflines than the older streets to the west.
• Piney Creek. Larger two-story homes. Big roofs with lots of valleys, dormers and roof-to-wall joints, which is exactly where workmanship shows first.
• Smoky Hill and the east side. Newer construction on more open ground. These roofs are rarely worn out; when they fail it is usually hail or wind.

Where Centennial Roofs Actually Leak

When we trace a leak on a Centennial home, the answer is almost never the open field of shingles. It is one of a short list of details, and these are the ones we check on every inspection:

• Valleys, where two roof planes meet and all the water from both runs down one line.
• Step flashing along a wall, which is often reused from the previous roof when it should have been replaced.
• Kick-out flashing at the bottom of a roof-to-wall joint. When it is missing, water runs behind the siding instead of into the gutter.
• Chimney flashing and chase covers. A rusted cover on top of a framed chimney can leak into the house and look exactly like a roof leak.
• Pipe boots, whose rubber collars crack in Colorado sun long before the shingles around them wear out.

Split-Levels and Low-Slope Sections

Plenty of Centennial homes are split-levels, and split-levels often have a shallow section of roof over a porch, an addition or the lower level. Shingles are made to shed water on a proper slope. On a roof that is too flat they hold water and leak early.

If part of your roof is too shallow for shingles, we will tell you, and price the right material for that section rather than running the same shingle across the whole house because it is quicker.
