A Top-Rated Roofing Contractor in Security-Widefield, CO
Security and Widefield are two adjoining unincorporated communities south of Colorado Springs, built in large part for families working at Fort Carson and the bases on the east side of the city. The housing is straightforward: modest footprints, simple gable roofs, and a great many of them on a second asphalt roof or working past the end of one.
That changes the job. A newer subdivision mostly needs storm response. Here the work is usually a genuine replacement, which means what sits under the shingles matters as much as what goes over them: the decking, the flashing at every wall and chimney, and attic ventilation that was sized for a different era.
Cornerstone Roofing & Restoration prices the whole system rather than the shingle, and the inspection that gets you to a number costs nothing.

Residential Roofing & Exterior Services in Security-Widefield, CO
Security and Widefield were built in large part for families working at Fort Carson and the bases east of the city: modest footprints, simple gable roofs, and many of them now well into a second or third covering.
A newer subdivision mostly needs storm response. Here it is usually a real replacement, so we quote the decking, the flashing and the attic ventilation alongside the shingle, because leaving those out is how a new roof develops old problems.
Residential roofingSecurity-Widefield Commercial Roofing & Exterior Renovation
Small commercial and multi-unit rental property makes up a good share of the work on this side of the county, and both are judged on downtime. A roof that takes a week longer than quoted costs a landlord more than the difference in price.
Downtime is what this work gets judged on, so the timeline is quoted to be held rather than to win the job. Across a portfolio we sequence the buildings so tenants are disrupted once instead of repeatedly, working in flat, TPO, metal and protective coatings as each roof needs.

Roof Inspections
Free, written down and photographed. We inspect rentals for owners who cannot be on site, document it clearly, and recommend what the roof actually needs rather than what is easiest to sell.Learn more
Vinyl Siding Installation & Replacement
Hail does not stop at the roofline. On a storm restoration the dented fascia, cracked siding and torn screens go into one scope, which on a rental means one disruption to your tenant rather than four.Learn more
Gutter Installation & Protection
Seamless gutters and guards, fitted so the water coming off a re-roofed house actually reaches them. On a house of this age the drip edge is often missing entirely, which is why the fascia rots while the gutter looks fine.Learn more
Roof Repairs
Leaks, lifted courses and failed flashing, traced to the source. On a roof this far into its life we will also tell you when a repair stops making financial sense, which is not the same answer every time.Learn more
Commercial Roofing
Low-slope, TPO and metal for the small commercial and multi-unit property across this side of the county, plus the coatings that renew a membrane while the deck under it is still sound.Learn more
Residential Roofing
Genuine replacements rather than storm patches, which is what most of this housing actually needs. The decking, the flashing and the attic ventilation get quoted alongside the shingle, because leaving them out is how a new roof develops the old roof's problems.Learn more
Why Security-Widefield homeowners choose Cornerstone
On housing this age the difference between contractors shows up in what they do after the tear-off, not in what they promise before it. Here is ours, plainly stated.
You get a per-sheet price in the estimate, so the number that appears when the old roof comes off is one you already agreed rather than one you are told on the day.
Inspections and maintenance on rentals for owners who cannot be on site, documented clearly, with one visit covering several addresses and the paperwork kept straight between them.
And replacement when it will not. On a roof this far into its life those are genuinely different answers, and we will give you the one that is true rather than the larger one.
Based in Colorado Springs and working this side of the county every season, not just the weeks after a hailstorm. Still reachable when a warranty question comes up.
Here the age of the house sets the problem
Roofing in Security-Widefield is shaped as much by when the houses went up as by the weather. Both matter, but only one of them is what makes this area different from the newer subdivisions north of it.
Roofs at the end of their working life
This is the defining fact here. A large share of these homes went up for families working at Fort Carson and the bases east of the city, and their original or first-replacement roofs are well past the point they were meant to last. Colorado sun accelerates all of it, drying the asphalt, fading the color and stripping the granules that shield the mat. Most homeowners are surprised how much shorter a roof's real working life is here than the number printed on the wrapper suggests.
Old roofs come with old roof systems
When an aging roof comes off in Security or Widefield it is common to find decking that has weakened over the years, flashing corroded past sealing, and attic ventilation well short of what the house needs to manage heat and moisture. A replacement that only addresses the shingle leaves all of that in place. We price any decking replacement up front so the number is agreed rather than announced, and the new roof goes on over a sound, properly ventilated structure.
Hail, as the thing that finally decides it
This area sits firmly in the Front Range's hail corridor. On a roof that was already near the end, a significant storm is usually the event that settles the question rather than the one that creates it, and whether that becomes a covered replacement or a denied claim comes down to how well the damage was documented on the day. Because it is so often invisible from the ground, an inspection after a major storm is the only reliable way to know.
Wind on low, open ground
The lower-lying terrain along Fountain Creek and out toward the plains leaves these roofs exposed, and wind works at the edges and the ridge rather than the middle of a slope. On an older roof whose seals have already given up their flexibility, it does not take much of a gust to get a handle on a course.
From the first call to the finished roof
The process is built so that the parts most likely to produce a surprise on an older roof, the decking and the ventilation, are settled before the work rather than during it.
Free inspection
A proper look at the roof, the attic and the ventilation, documented with photographs. On a rental we will do it without you needing to be there and send you the write-up.
A written estimate, with the decking priced
Detailed scope and materials, including a per-sheet price for decking replacement. On housing this age some is likely, so agreeing the rate in advance is what keeps the final number honest.
Insurance coordination
Where storm damage is involved we document everything and meet your adjuster on the roof. Across several rental addresses we keep the paperwork straight between them.
Installation
Most residential roofs are finished in one to three days. Across a portfolio we sequence the buildings so tenants are disrupted once rather than repeatedly.
Walkthrough and warranty
We walk the finished job before the crew leaves, with a written count of the decking sheets actually replaced and photographs of them. You are covered by the manufacturer's warranty and ours.
Roofing materials that make sense here
On a house that is due a genuine replacement, the material question is really a question about how long you intend to own it. A warranty term is not a service life, and hail can end any of these early.
- Architectural asphalt20 to 25 years here
- The sensible default on most of this housing, and a real step up from the three-tab that is probably up there now: better wind ratings, longer warranties and more depth, for a modest difference in price. On a rental or a house you may not hold for twenty years, this is usually where the money is best spent.
- Class 4 impact-resistant asphalt25 to 30 years here
- Tested to UL 2218 and built to absorb the hail impact that cracks a standard shingle. Many Colorado carriers discount the premium on a roof carrying one, with the amount set by the carrier rather than by law. On a house you intend to keep, that discount plus the longer life usually makes the arithmetic work.
- Metal, standing seam or panel40 years and up
- The long play, and worth considering on a property you plan to hold indefinitely or on outbuildings that are awkward to re-roof often. Higher up front, considerably lower per year across the run, and it wants an installer who has done it before.
Signs a roof here needs attention
On a roof this far into its life the signs are usually age rather than damage, and they arrive gradually enough to be easy to live with. Most are visible from the ground, which is where you should stay.
Curling, cupping or brittle tabs
Edges lifting away from the course below. On a roof past twenty the shingles have given up the oils that kept them flexible, and they will crack rather than bend when anyone walks them.
Granules in the gutters
What looks like coarse black sand collecting at the downspout outlets. Gradual loss is age; a sudden pile after a storm is impact, and the two lead to different conversations with an insurer.
Daylight or damp in the attic
A sunny-day look can show light through the boards, stains on the decking or insulation that is damp. On this housing stock that is often the ventilation rather than a leak, and it is worth knowing which.
Fascia rot with the gutter still sound
A giveaway on houses of this age: the drip edge was never fitted, so water tracks off the deck and behind the gutter instead of into it. The gutter looks fine and the wood behind it is going.
An old roof is not a problem you can defer
This area has a sizeable share of rental property, much of it serving the Fort Carson and Peterson Space Force Base community, alongside houses that have been in the same family for decades. In both cases a roof is easy to put off until it forces the issue, and that is precisely the point at which it becomes expensive.
A roof that has quietly worn out does not simply risk a leak. It lets water reach decking, insulation and ceilings, which turns a planned replacement into an emergency repair plus an interior job. For a landlord that is also tenant disruption, an out-of-hours call-out and a conversation nobody wanted. Catching it early avoids all three.
For a long-time owner the arithmetic is the same. A roof replaced on your own schedule, chosen and budgeted for, costs less and takes less out of you than one replaced in a hurry after a leak or after a filing window has quietly closed. If yours is old enough that you have started to wonder, the useful move is simply to find out where it stands.
Across Security, Widefield and the 80911 area
Security and Widefield are counted as a single place rather than two, and unincorporated El Paso County at that, which is why a roof here is permitted through the Pikes Peak Regional Building Department rather than a city department. We work the whole of it, along with the surrounding 80911 and 80925 addresses, for owner-occupiers and landlords alike.
The names on the original plats are still worth knowing if you are trying to date your roof: Security Village was platted in 1953 and the first model homes opened in January 1955, with Widefield Homes following in 1957. If your house belongs to either of those first waves, it is on at least its second covering by now and probably its third, and what is under the shingles matters as much as what goes over them.

Flexible financing to fit your budget
A roof rarely fails at a convenient moment, and a storm sets its own schedule. We finance through GoodLeap so a replacement can happen when the damage says it needs to, rather than when a savings account is ready for it.
We will walk you through the options alongside the estimate, in the same conversation, so you can see the whole picture before deciding anything.

Frequently asked questions
Questions we hear across Security and Widefield, from what a tear-off finds on an older roof to how claims work on a rental.
How old is too old for a roof around here?
Colorado is harder on asphalt than the wrapper assumes. Past about twenty years in this sun a shingle is usually brittle, thin on granules and no longer sealing properly, even if it has never leaked. If you do not know when your roof was last done, that alone is reason enough for an inspection.
What happens if the decking underneath turns out to be bad?
We replace what has failed at the per-sheet price agreed before the tear-off, so the number does not move on you mid-job. On homes of this age some decking replacement is common, usually around old leak paths and penetrations rather than across the whole roof.
I own a rental here but live somewhere else. Can you still help?
Yes. We can inspect with the tenant's cooperation, document the condition in photos and writing, and send you the report so you can make the call from wherever you are. We will also say when a repair is the right answer, because a repair on a roof with life left is cheaper for you and less disruptive for the tenant.
Are impact-resistant shingles worth it in Colorado?
For most Front Range homeowners, yes. Class 4 impact-resistant shingles are built to survive hail that would bruise or crack a standard shingle, and many Colorado insurers offer a premium discount for installing them. We’ll show you the options and let you weigh the up-front cost against the discount and the reduced chance of another claim.
How do I know if my roof has hail damage?
Hail damage is often invisible from the ground. The signs we look for are bruising (soft spots where the granules have been knocked loose and the mat beneath is exposed), along with dented vents, gutters and flashing. If a storm has come through, get a free inspection rather than waiting for a leak, because insurers usually limit how long you have to file.
Do you help with insurance claims?
Yes. Storm claims are a large part of what we do. We document the damage, meet the adjuster on site, and make sure the scope of the loss reflects what we actually found on the roof.
Why does altitude matter for a roof?
Thinner air at elevation means more intense UV, which ages asphalt shingles faster than the same product would at sea level. Combined with sharp freeze-thaw swings, it puts far more stress on materials and sealing than a mild climate does. A roof can warm well above freezing in the sun and drop below it after dark, repeatedly, in a single winter week.
