Repair or Replace? A Roof Quiz for Boulder, CO
Patch or full replacement: which way is your roof leaning? Answer five short questions about a home in Boulder, CO, or anywhere in Boulder County, and this quiz suggests a sensible next step. It reads only what you tell it, so treat the answer as a guide to your next conversation with a roofer.
How to Use This Tool
Pick the answer that fits best on each step, and choose "Not sure" whenever you can't tell. Step 3 lets you mark every sign you have noticed. Look from the yard, the gutters and the attic only; there's no need to climb onto the roof. High-altitude sun, big temperature swings, downslope winds, hail, heavy wet snow and falling limbs can all wear a roof here, so the quiz weighs age, material, signs, storms and past repairs together.
What to Do With the Result
Whatever result you got, note the signs you picked and when you first saw them; a roofer will ask. For a rough idea of what a new roof might run, try the roof cost calculator, and read the Colorado roofing rules before signing anything. Once you feel ready, use the request form; your details go to one independent local roofer, who sets up a visit and writes up its own estimate.
