Repair or Replace? A Roof Checker for Littleton, CO
Wondering if a patch will do, or if the whole covering has to go? Answer five quick questions about its age, material and condition, and this checker for Littleton, CO points you toward one of three outcomes. It's a guide for homeowners across Arapahoe County, not a diagnosis, and it never tells you your roof is damaged.
Instructions
Pick the answer that fits best for each question; on the third one you can choose several. If you don't know, choose Not sure, which keeps the result on the careful side. Look from the ground or a window only, since getting onto a roof is a job for a roofer. In the City of Littleton, 61.2% of homes are owner-occupied (U.S. Census Bureau), so for most households this choice, and the bill, rests with the people living under the roof.
The City draws its own line between the two. Under its roofing policy, work on one square (100 sq ft) or less counts as a repair, and a bigger job is treated as a replacement, with a permit required and the old roof stripped to the deck. A roofer will know which side of that line a job falls on.
Next Steps
Whichever result you get, having a roofer look at the roof in person comes next. Use the form, and your request lands with a single independent roofer who books a visit and writes down any price. The roofer pays this site for passing it along, and nothing is charged to you. Read the Colorado roofing rules before you sign anything, or get a planning range from the roof cost calculator.
