Roofing Contractor Englewood, CO

That One Construction Co. works with homeowners in Englewood, CO who need a roofing contractor with real experience handling insurance claims, navigating the city’s permit process, and replacing roofs on the older homes that make up most of the city’s residential neighborhoods. Our Colorado operation is based in Englewood. This is where Joe’s crew works every day.

Englewood Is Where That One Construction Co. Operates, and Where Nearly 20 Percent of Homes Predate 1950

Englewood’s median home build year is 1965, and nearly 20 percent of the homes in the city were built before 1950. That number is higher than almost any other city in the south metro. The original residential neighborhoods — Bates-Logan Park, Old Englewood, the streets south of Belleview — were built out in the postwar era, and the homes there have been through multiple roofs already.

A home built in 1948 or 1955 is not approaching its second replacement. It is on its third or fourth. The question at that point is not whether to replace, it is whether the current installation was done correctly, whether the ventilation was addressed the last time someone was up there, and whether what is underneath the shingles is what a crew should be tearing into without an inspection first.

Pre-1978 construction frequently involves asbestos-containing material in older underlayment layers. Colorado law requires a certified inspection and removal before re-roofing when asbestos is present. In a city where this many homes were built before 1978, that is not an edge case. It is a routine part of the job on older homes, and a contractor who has worked these neighborhoods knows to account for it from the start rather than discover it after tear-off has begun.

Because our Colorado operation is based here, we know this city’s homes well. We have been on the roofs in these neighborhoods, dealt with the permit office on West Hampden, and worked through the claim process with Arapahoe County homeowners more times than we can count. When you call us for an Englewood job, you are not calling a company that is dispatching a crew from somewhere else.

Hail Finds Englewood the Same Way It Finds Every City Along the Front Range

Englewood sits about 15 miles east of the foothills, in the standard path that Front Range hailstorms take as they move northeast off the mountains. Storms that form over the high terrain west of Denver cross through the metro and reach Englewood carrying the same energy they built up over the foothills. Stormersite records 83 radar-detected hail events near Englewood since radar records began. The Front Range averages 7 to 9 hail days per year, with peak activity in May and June. Arapahoe County was within the primary impact zone of the June 2018 event that produced $2.8 billion in statewide insured losses and the July 2019 event that produced $1.2 billion. A May 2023 severe weather outbreak with tornado warnings across the south metro brought golf ball-sized hail to Englewood’s area.
At 5,368 feet, hailstones arrive with more force than the same storm produces closer to sea level. There is less atmosphere to slow them down. Stones that measure an inch and a half at this elevation hit harder than the size suggests. Combined with Front Range UV intensity at altitude, which degrades shingle granules faster than lower-elevation warranties account for, Englewood roofs age under real conditions that a bare-minimum installation does not hold up to for long. Hail damage to a home’s roof does not always show from the ground. Granule loss, bruised shingles, bent flashing, and cracked pipe jacks require a roof-level inspection to document. If a storm came through Englewood and you are not sure what your roof looks like, call us for a free inspection.

When an Englewood Roof Needs Replacing, It Usually Starts with a Claim or a Calendar

The first reason Englewood homeowners call is storm or hail damage. Given the city’s position in the Front Range hail corridor and how many of its homes were built before 1960, this is where most conversations begin. That One Construction Co. will meet your insurance adjuster on-site, document what we find, handle the estimate submission, and stay with the claim through reinspections and disputes if the initial settlement comes in short. We have staff whose job every day is talking with insurance companies. Separate wind and hail deductibles are common in Colorado policies, and those deductibles are often a percentage of the home’s insured value rather than a flat dollar figure. Knowing what your policy covers before you file is worth a conversation. The second reason is age. A roof installed on an Englewood home in the late 1980s or 1990s is at or past the end of its rated lifespan. Architectural shingles are rated for 25 to 30 years. At 5,368 feet, with the UV load and storm frequency Englewood gets, that timeline can run shorter than the warranty implies. We use the same threshold insurance companies use: we do not recommend replacement unless the damage or age warrants it. If a repair is the right call, we will say so, even when it means walking away from a replacement job.

What Englewood's Permit Process Requires Before a Crew Starts Tear-Off

Englewood issues its own contractor license, separate from a Jefferson County or state license. Roofing falls under the Class D-2 trade contractor classification. The license and certificate of registration must be in place before pulling any permit. Applications and renewals go through the city’s iMS portal at ims.englewoodco.gov.

A permit is required for any re-roofing work. The threshold is one square, or 100 square feet: repairs at or under that area do not require a permit. Anything above it requires a permit pulled and approved before work begins.

One detail worth understanding before an Englewood re-roofing project starts: the city’s inspections page requires a Mid-roof Compliance Form for all one and two-family residential re-roofs. This is not a separate in-person inspection visit. It is a contractor-signed compliance document certifying that mid-roof code requirements were met, submitted through the iMS system as part of the permit record. The re-roofing guidelines confirm that mid-roof inspections are not required. The form and the inspection are two different things, and knowing that before scheduling matters for keeping a project on track.

The final inspection is required after installation is complete. A ladder must be set for the inspector. The reinspection fee is $75 if a callback is needed.

On the code side: ice and water shield is required in Englewood, extending 24 inches inside the exterior wall line of the building. Drip edge is required on all roof edges. A maximum of two layers of asphalt shingles is allowed before a full tear-off to the deck is required. Any chimney or roof penetration wider than 30 inches requires a cricket or saddle on the ridge side. Roof jacks and vents must be raised to the level of the new roof and replaced if they are in poor condition. 

That One Construction Co. holds the required Englewood Class D-2 contractor license, pulls the permit, completes the Mid-roof Compliance Form, and handles the final inspection through to sign-off.

How That One Construction Co. Approaches a Roofing Job in Englewood

Joe Huber built homes from the ground up before That One Construction Co. focused on exterior work, and that background shows up on every Englewood job. The inspection does not stop at the shingles. We look at how the roof connects to the rest of the house: whether the attic ventilation is balanced, whether the drainage works with the yard grade, whether the flashing at the chimney and wall transitions was done right the first time. On a 1950s Englewood bungalow, those details are as important as which shingles go on top. A contractor who learned one trade sees one layer. Joe sees the whole system. We use CertainTeed as our preferred shingle product and are ShingleMaster certified. At Englewood’s elevation and under its UV and storm load, shingle grade is one of the most consequential decisions in a replacement job. We will walk through the options and explain what the differences mean for how long the roof performs, not just what they cost. That One Construction Co. is privately owned. No private equity, no outside investors. The roofing industry has seen significant consolidation in recent years, and the incentive for a PE-owned company is volume and margin, not the installation standard on a specific job. The crew we have largely came from PE-acquired companies, and they left for a reason. In Englewood, where the homes are older, the inspection process requires more attention, and the permit office has specific requirements, the contractor who installs to the standard the house actually needs is the one worth calling. When we finish a job, we make sure it looks like we were never there. Magnet passes for nails, landscaping protected from start to finish, garage doors boarded before tear-off begins. On an Englewood street where neighbors are close and the homes have been there for decades, how the site looks when we leave matters.
