What we do
From a single repair to a full restoration, we handle it all.
One local, licensed team for everything above your walls: roofing, gutters, siding, painting and storm restoration, each backed by the same standard of care.
Every hail season brings out-of-state crews into Colorado Springs, and most of them are gone before the next one. Here is what separates them from the company that will still answer the phone the year your warranty finally matters.
01
Locally owned and operated
Cornerstone is owner-run out of Colorado Springs, not a branch office reporting to a call center in another state. You deal with the people whose name is on the truck, and we are still here in five years when a question comes up.
02
Insurance claim specialists
We inspect the roof, document the damage in photographs, and meet your adjuster up there to walk through it. The claim stays yours and so does every decision. Our job is making sure nothing the storm did goes unrecorded.
03
Licensed, registered and insured
We are licensed, registered and carry insurance covering our crews and your property, and you get the certificate before work starts rather than after you ask. Colorado registers roofers locally, so requirements change by address. Ask any contractor which apply to yours.
04
Premium materials, real warranties
Atlas systems fitted by an Atlas Diamond Contractor, with the manufacturer's warranty behind the materials and our own guarantee behind the workmanship. Thin felt and a rushed flashing detail both pass a glance from the driveway. Neither one gets through a Front Range winter.
05
Free roof inspections
Every inspection is free and carries no obligation. We get on the roof, photograph what we find, and talk you through it, including the times the honest answer is that your roof has years left in it and does not need us yet.
Every Cornerstone roof is an Atlas system rather than a stack of parts bought on price. Ice and water shield where water backs up, synthetic underlayment across the whole deck, new drip edge on every perimeter, then the shingle. Every layer has a job, and the warranty needs all of them.
We are an Atlas Diamond Contractor, the top tier of Atlas' contractor program, and we specify for the Front Range instead of fitting the same roof everywhere. In practice that usually means an impact-resistant shingle, a ventilation plan that moves moisture out of the attic, and flashing cut to your roof rather than bent to fit it.
Cornerstone works out of Colorado Springs, on roofs up and down the Front Range. Owner Briley Wahl brings seven years in roofing and exteriors, and a reputation for being straight with homeowners: quick to spot the real problem, honest about what it takes to fix it. Alongside co-owner Zach Flagg, who served four years in the U.S. Army, he holds Cornerstone to a higher standard: honest advice, expert workmanship, and care from the first inspection to the final nail.
One Colorado Springs home, before and after a full replacement. Drag to compare. The same standard of work on every roof we touch.

From your first call to the final cleanup, you always know what’s next.
01
Free Inspection
We start with a thorough, no-cost roof inspection. Honest findings and clear, transparent recommendations. No pressure to sign.
02
Clear Plan & Financing
A straightforward scope and upfront pricing, with flexible financing through GoodLeap if you need it.
03
Expert Installation
Our licensed crew handles it from the first inspection to the final nail. Installed to standard and cleaned up completely.
On install day
The seven steps every Cornerstone roof goes through.
Inspect, plan, install is how the job runs from your side of it. This is the other half: the build standard our crews work to once the truck is in your driveway, in the order it happens.
Step 01
Property protection
Tarps go over the landscaping, the AC condenser and anything else exposed before a single shingle comes off. A wrecked flower bed and a dented condenser are avoidable, so we avoid them instead of apologizing for them at the end of the day.
Step 02
Complete tear-off
Everything comes off, down to the bare decking. We do not lay a new roof over an old one. A layover buries the deck where nobody can inspect it, adds dead weight, and shortens the life of the shingles you just paid for.
Step 03
Deck inspection
With the deck exposed we walk all of it. Anything soft, rotted or water-damaged is cut out and replaced with new OSB or plywood. This is not an upsell. It is what the manufacturer's warranty is written against, and a bad deck voids it.
Step 04
Premium underlayment
Ice and water shield at the eaves, through the valleys and around every penetration, then synthetic underlayment across the entire deck. Both outperform the felt paper a storm-chasing crew rolls out, and this is the layer that keeps water out when wind lifts a shingle.
Step 05
Flashing and drip edge
Step, valley and chimney flashing cut and fitted to your roof's geometry rather than reused from the old one, and new metal drip edge on every perimeter, which the code here requires. Most leaks we get called out to are a flashing detail somebody rushed.
Step 06
Shingle installation
Laid to Atlas' pattern by the crews of an Atlas Diamond Contractor, and fastened with six nails per shingle. Six is not the code minimum, which is four, and it is more than Atlas' standard application requires. We run it as standard rather than as an upgrade, because Front Range wind does not read the minimums.
Step 07
Cleanup
Magnetic sweepers over the drive, the lawn and the beds, more than once, and a walk of the property with you before the crew pulls out. You should not be finding roofing nails in a tire in August.
Every step above is our standard, not a premium tier. If a bid you are comparing does not spell out what it does at steps two, four and five, that is the question worth asking before you sign anything.
Insurance claims
Your side of a claim is the short side.
Hail, straight-line wind or a limb through the deck, it is the same process every time, and we have walked hundreds of El Paso County homeowners through it. Here is exactly who does what, so you can see which parts of it are actually yours.
Yours 3 things
Make one call
Call us or send a message and we get on the roof for a free inspection. That is the whole ask at this stage. Nothing goes to your carrier until you know whether there is damage worth filing on.
Be home for the adjuster
Your carrier sends its own adjuster and the meeting happens at your house. Be there to let everyone in, and we will be on the roof alongside them. It is the one appointment in the process worth rearranging a day for.
Pick your shingle
Once the scope is agreed you choose the color and the class, including whether to go impact resistant. We bring samples to the house. Everything else on this page is our job, not yours.
We walk every slope and document what is there, damage and no damage both, dated. A claim is only as strong as its evidence, and evidence gathered after an adjuster has already been out and gone counts for much less.
Write the scope the way carriers read it
The damage goes into a detailed line-item scope of work built to insurance industry standards, so your adjuster is reading a document in the format they work in rather than a contractor's one-page bid.
Meet the adjuster on the roof
We arrange that visit with your carrier and we are up there for it, pointing at what we found. Adjusters are covering a whole county in the weeks after a hailstorm. Somebody walking the roof with them is how detail gets recorded.
Read the policy with you
Deductible, recoverable depreciation, replacement cost against actual cash value. Those terms decide what you are actually paid. We go through the paperwork and tell you what it says, including the parts that are not in your favor.
Build to what was approved
Then we do the work, to the scope the claim covers. If the tear-off shows a deck worse than anyone could see from above, that gets photographed and supplemented through your carrier, not quietly absorbed and not quietly skipped.
Nobody can pay your deductible
Every hail season somebody knocks on a door in Colorado Springs offering to cover the homeowner's deductible. Colorado does not allow it. C.R.S. 6-22-105 bars a roofer working from insurance proceeds from advertising or promising to pay, waive, rebate or absorb your deductible, and C.R.S. 6-22-103 requires our contract to tell you so in writing. The consequences are civil rather than criminal: your insurer does not have to consider that contractor's estimate, and you or your insurer can sue. So we will never offer it, and anyone who does has told you something useful about how they work.
Read someone who is not us
The Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety fires hailstones at roofing assemblies in a laboratory and publishes what happens. Their page on impact-resistant roofing explains what a Class 4 rating is worth, and no contractor or manufacturer had a hand in writing it.
A roof here does not fail the way a roof at sea level fails. Hail, freeze-thaw and altitude each go after a different part of the system, and a specification written for this address has to answer all three of them.
Hail
Class 4impact-resistant rating
El Paso County is among the busiest hail claim regions in the country. Quarter-sized stones crack the granule surface and take years off a roof that still looks fine from the ground. We install Class 3 and Class 4 impact-resistant shingles, and many carriers discount a home that has them.
Freeze-thaw
40-50 degreesswing in a single day
A forty to fifty degree swing between noon and midnight is an ordinary Front Range day. Fasteners work loose, flashing cracks, and meltwater refreezes at the cold eave into an ice dam. The answers are attic ventilation, ice and water shield where water backs up, and drip edge that is actually there.
Altitude
6,035 ftof ultraviolet exposure
Colorado Springs sits at 6,035 feet, with markedly more ultraviolet reaching the roof than the same shingle would take at sea level. Asphalt dries out, curls at the edges and gives up its granules faster here, which is why the wrapper's warranty length is not a forecast.
How to check a Colorado Springs roofer
Ask for proof of liability insurance and workers' compensation. Look for a physical local address instead of a PO box, ours is 890 Point of the Pines Dr, Colorado Springs, CO 80919. Ask who certifies them, ask for local references, and get the warranty in writing on both materials and workmanship.
Straight about money
What actually moves the price of a replacement.
A full replacement on a typical 1,500 to 2,500 square foot home lands somewhere between $8,000 and $18,000 in this market. That spread is not evasiveness, it is six variables, and here is every one of them before anybody gets on your roof.
$8,000$18,000Typical lowTypical high
Typical 1,500 to 2,500 sq ft home in this market.
Pushes up01
Roof size and pitch
Square footage sets the material and most of the labor. Pitch sets how fast a crew can safely move. Past about a 6/12 the job needs fall protection and slows down, so a steep roof and a walkable roof of identical size are not the same price.
Pushes up02
Material selection
Standard architectural shingles are the value option and a perfectly good roof. Class 4 impact-resistant costs more up front, and many carriers discount a home that carries it. Designer profiles and standing-seam metal sit at the top of the range.
Depends03
Decking condition
Nobody knows what is under the shingles until they come off. Rotted or water-damaged OSB and plywood has to be replaced before anything new goes down. We price the roof we can see, then show you the deck before we swap a single sheet of it.
Pushes up04
Roof complexity
Valleys, dormers, skylights and chimneys all mean cutting, flashing and slow detail work. A simple gable is the cheapest roof there is to replace. Two houses with the same square footage can sit a long way apart on this factor alone.
Pushes up05
Underlayment and accessories
Ice and water shield, synthetic underlayment, drip edge, ridge vent, step flashing. These are the line items a suspiciously low bid quietly leaves off, and they are where the leaks come from three winters later.
Pulls down06
Insurance coverage
The one factor that moves the number the other way. On a covered storm claim your out-of-pocket can come down to the deductible, whatever the roof itself costs. We document the damage thoroughly so the claim reflects what is actually up there.
Not a quote
Nobody can price your roof from the street, and a number given without one is a guess dressed up as a quote. The range above is a starting point. The inspection is what turns it into a real figure, and the inspection is free.
A Colorado Springs crew covering El Paso and Douglas counties, from Fountain up over the Palmer Divide to Castle Rock and out to the eastern plains. Not sure if we reach you? We probably do. Call (719) 600-7852.
We work out of Colorado Springs and cover the Front Range from Fountain up over the Palmer Divide to Castle Rock, out east to Peyton, and north to Aurora. Hail, high-altitude UV, freeze-thaw and downslope wind are the conditions we build for.
The questions that come up most on the first call, answered the way we would answer them on the phone. Free inspections, insurance claims, warranties, financing, emergencies, and exactly which parts of the Front Range we cover.
Still have questions?
Our team is on standby. Call (719) 600-7852 or drop us a line and you will get a straight answer from someone who works on roofs, not a sales call.
Yes. Every roof inspection is 100% free and no-obligation. We assess the condition of your roof, walk you through what we find, and give you honest, transparent recommendations. There’s never any pressure to sign.
What areas do you serve?
Colorado Springs and the Front Range. Our office is at 890 Point of the Pines Dr, Colorado Springs, CO 80919, and we work throughout El Paso and Douglas counties and up into the Denver metro, including Briargate, Broadmoor, Manitou Springs, Stratmoor, Security-Widefield, Fountain, Gleneagle, Monument, Black Forest, Falcon, Peyton, Castle Rock, Larkspur and Aurora, along with the surrounding neighborhoods. Not sure whether we cover your address? Give us a call. We probably do.
Are you insured?
Yes. Cornerstone Roofing & Restoration carries insurance covering our crews and your property on every job, and we’re happy to provide a certificate before work starts. Worth knowing: Colorado has no statewide roofing license. Registration and permitting are handled by the jurisdiction your property sits in, such as the Pikes Peak Regional Building Department, so requirements differ from one address to the next. Ask us and we’ll tell you what applies to yours.
Do you handle insurance claims?
Yes. We specialize in storm-damage insurance claims. We’ll inspect and document the damage, meet with your adjuster, and work alongside you to help make sure you receive the coverage you’re entitled to.
Do you offer financing?
We do. Cornerstone has partnered with GoodLeap to offer flexible financing options that fit your budget. GoodLeap is the lender, so your rate and terms come from them.
What if I have a roofing emergency?
We answer 24/7 for roofing emergencies. If you have an active leak or storm damage, call (719) 600-7852 anytime.
Do you work on both homes and commercial buildings?
Yes. We provide residential roofing, repairs, gutters, siding, painting and interior restoration for homeowners, and flat, TPO/EPDM, metal, and coating systems for commercial and industrial properties across Colorado Springs and the Front Range.
What roofing products do you install?
We install Atlas shingles and roofing systems as an Atlas Diamond Contractor, including Class 4 impact-resistant options built to take hail. A Front Range roof has a harder job than most: hail through the spring and summer, intense UV at altitude, downslope wind off the mountains, and freeze-thaw cycling all winter. We specify for those conditions rather than fitting the same roof everywhere, and every installation is backed by the manufacturer’s warranty.
Do you offer warranties?
Yes. Every installation is backed by industry-leading manufacturer warranties on your roofing materials.
What makes Cornerstone different?
We’re an owner-run company with a veteran co-owner: Zach Flagg served four years in the U.S. Army before he came into the trade. We treat every project and every customer like family: honest advice, quality craftsmanship, and care from the first inspection to the final nail.

Where we work
Serving our community.
We built this reputation one roof at a time.
Residential reroofs through hail season, commercial TPO on the flat roofs across town, and a phone that gets answered at two in the morning when a leak will not wait for Monday. Same crews, same standard, whichever one you are calling about.
We work directly with adjusters when there is a claim, we finance through GoodLeap when spreading the cost helps, and we stand behind the workmanship long after the invoice is settled.
