Integrated Solar Roofing
Beyond standard solar panel add-ons, new building-integrated options like Tesla’s roof tiles promise to replace shingles themselves – providing shelter and free electricity simultaneously in attractive, durable, and pre-wired packages ideally suited for Colorado’s ample sun.
Lightweight Metal Roofing
Newly formulated aluminum, copper, and zinc alloys allow sleek standing seam roofs to be installed over existing decking where traditional materials once required complete tear-offs adding cost and labor. DIY appeal increases as well.
Cool Roof Coatings
The latest elastomeric coatings not only repel water brilliantly but also reflect heat, slashing summer utility bills by up to 15%. Extended warranties approach 20 years as product performance continues to strengthen.
Nature-Based Solutions
Green roofs featuring drought-tolerant native grasses and wildflowers mount directly over waterproof membranes supplementing rainwater control functionality with biodiversity perks. Demand grows as these living roofs become more affordable.
Drones for Inspections
Aerial drones capture high-definition infrared imagery of entire sloped roofs in mere minutes versus traditional costly and risky ladder assessments. Accuracy supports proactive maintenance budgets too.
