Roofing Contractor Westminster, CO
That One Construction Co. works with homeowners in Westminster, CO who need a roofing contractor with real experience handling insurance claims, navigating a permit process that added a new contractor registration requirement in May 2026, and replacing roofs on the 1970s and 1980s homes that make up the core of this city. We handle the full process from the initial inspection through the final walk, for homeowners dealing with hail damage or a roof that has reached the end of its run.
Westminster Sits Between Two Storm Corridors and Has the Hail History on Both Sides to Show for It
Westminster spans Adams and Jefferson counties, and that geography puts the city in a position that most Front Range communities are not in: exposed to two distinct storm pathways. The western portion of Westminster, in Jefferson County, sits along the foothills corridor that storm cells follow as they descend from the mountains and track northeast through Arvada and Wheat Ridge. The eastern portion, in Adams County, sits in the northern metro track that systems follow as they move from Broomfield toward Thornton and the Adams County corridor.
On May 8, 2017, Colorado’s costliest hailstorm tracked from Golden northeast through Wheat Ridge and Arvada, directly adjacent to Westminster’s western boundary. NWS documented the storm hitting the full corridor from the foothills through the western suburbs, and 9News reported large hail across Arvada, Wheat Ridge, and surrounding communities. Westminster’s Jefferson County portion is contiguous with both. On May 30, 2024, a storm that became Colorado’s second-costliest hailstorm tracked from Broomfield southeast through Thornton and the northern metro, producing $1.9 billion in insured losses. Westminster sits directly between those two named cities on that corridor. The June 2018 event, which produced $2.8 billion in statewide insured losses, tracked through both Adams and Jefferson counties, the two counties Westminster spans.

A City Built Primarily in the 1970s and 1980s Where Most Roofs Have Been Replaced at Least Once Already
Westminster’s median home build year is 1987. The 1970s and 1980s represent the dominant construction era, when Westminster grew rapidly as families moved in along the US-36 corridor and commuted into Denver and the growing tech employment centers nearby. Homes built before 2000 account for more than three quarters of Westminster’s residential stock. The established neighborhoods that define most of the city, the ranch homes and split-levels that line Westminster’s residential streets, have been standing for 40 to 50 years.
A home built in 1978 or 1984 has had at least one roof replaced already, and in many cases two. The question for homeowners in these neighborhoods is not whether the roof is original. It is not. The question is whether the current installation was done correctly, whether ventilation was addressed the last time a crew was on the roof, and whether the materials used were appropriate for Westminster’s hail exposure and Front Range UV load at 5,384 feet. A 30-year shingle installed in the early 1990s on a Westminster ranch home is at or past the end of its rated lifespan. At this elevation, with this city’s storm frequency, that timeline can run shorter than the warranty suggests.
Westminster also has a meaningful share of homes built after 2000, particularly along the US-36 corridor and near the Westminster City Center redevelopment area. Those roofs are younger, but they are not exempt from storm damage, and homeowners in those neighborhoods may be navigating their first insurance claim without a prior frame of reference for how the process works.
What Foothills Wind, Open Terrain, and Two Decades of Storm Seasons Do to a 1987 Roof
Westminster sits at 5,384 feet on flat to gently rolling terrain with no significant natural features to deflect or weaken a storm before it arrives. The Jefferson County side of the city is approximately 12 to 15 miles east of the foothills, close enough that storm cells descending off the mountains reach Westminster carrying significant energy before they continue northeast. The Adams County side sits in the open northern metro corridor where storms track after crossing the foothills.
At 5,384 feet, hailstones have less atmosphere to fall through before impact. They arrive harder than the same storm produces at lower elevations. The Front Range averages seven to nine hail days per year, with peak activity in May and June. A 1987 home in Westminster has absorbed that exposure for nearly four decades. Even without a single catastrophic event, the cumulative effect of repeated hail seasons on a roof that has already been replaced once is real. Granule loss compounds. Flashing degrades. Sealant strips fail. A roof that looks intact from the street may have been losing ground for years.
Hail damage requires a roof-level inspection to document properly. 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 does not reflect what the damage warrants. We have staff whose job every day is communicating with insurance companies. Wind and hail deductibles in Colorado are often a percentage of the home’s insured value rather than a flat dollar figure. We help homeowners understand what their policy actually says before they commit to anything.
If storm damage is not the primary driver, the conversation starts the same way: a free inspection, an honest assessment of where the roof stands, and a recommendation that reflects the actual condition. We apply the same threshold insurance companies use. If a repair is the right answer, we say so.
Westminster's Permit Process Changed in May 2026 and Now Requires Contractor Registration Before Any Permit Is Released
Westminster requires a permit for any roofing or re-roofing work exceeding one square, which is 100 square feet. All applications are submitted through the city’s eTRAKiT portal. As of May 1, 2026, Westminster added a new requirement: the general contractor and all subcontractors on a permit must be registered with the City of Westminster before the permit will be released. This requirement was posted directly to Westminster’s eTRAKiT portal homepage and took effect just days before the research date. Contractors who have worked in Westminster before but have not completed the new city registration are blocked from permit issuance until they do.
For homeowners, this matters because it affects which contractors can legally pull a permit in Westminster right now. A contractor who arrives after a major storm without current Westminster registration cannot get a permit. That One Construction Co. maintains current registrations in the jurisdictions where we work. Westminster’s new requirement is part of how we operate, not a surprise that stalls a project.
Westminster operates under the 2021 International Residential Code with local amendments. Ice and water shield is required under Colorado state amendment R905.1.1 to the 2021 IRC, which mandates that ice barrier extend from the eave edge to at least 24 inches inside the exterior wall line. The state amendment cites a documented history of ice forming along eaves in Colorado as the basis for the statewide requirement.
For inspections, Westminster has made photo documentation the primary option for both mid-roof and final inspections. The city’s eTRAKiT inspection page states directly that photo documentation submitted through the portal is the primary method, with in-person inspection as the fallback. Contractors who know this submit documentation photos during the job rather than scheduling a separate in-person visit for each inspection phase. For homeowners, it means inspections can move efficiently without depending on inspector scheduling windows after a major storm.
If an in-person inspection is required, ladders must be provided, set, and secured. A $50 fee applies if an in-person inspection is cancelled or fails due to unmet requirements, including a wet roof, missing ladder, or unconfirmed contractor registration in the system.
Why Westminster Homeowners Work With That One Construction Co.
Joe Huber came to roofing from home building. He built homes from the ground up before he ran a roofing company, and that background changes how we inspect a roof on a 1978 Westminster ranch. Where most contractors see shingles, we see a system: deck condition, ventilation balance, flashing integrity, and how the roof interacts with the house underneath it. A home that has had two roofs installed by two different crews over 40 years may have ventilation that was never addressed correctly, flashing that was run over instead of replaced, or a deck that has shifted in ways that affect how new materials will perform. We look at all of it before we write a scope, because what is underneath determines how long the next roof lasts.
That One Construction Co. is independently owned with no private equity investors and no outside financial pressure. PE firms have been buying roofing companies across the Denver metro, and the incentives that come with that ownership change how individual jobs get handled. No quarterly targets. No franchise requirements. Joe makes the calls. In an established market like Westminster, where the roofing work is steady and the competition is dense, that independence shows up in how we treat individual homeowners rather than in marketing language.
We do not recommend replacement unless the damage or age warrants it. Our threshold matches what insurance companies use: if repair addresses the problem, we say so. On a 1984 Westminster home where the current roof is ten years old and the damage from a recent hail event is real but limited, the honest answer may be repair, not replacement. We will tell you that, document what we found, and let you make the decision with accurate information.
