Protect Your Home from Above
Roofing Service in Aurora, Colorado
Your roof keeps everything inside your Aurora home dry and protected, but constant sun exposure and sudden hailstorms can wear down even the most durable materials. When shingles start to curl or you notice dark streaks running down from the ridge, the problem usually goes deeper than what you can see from the ground. Rodvar 5280 LLC works on roofs throughout Aurora, addressing everything from missing granules to full replacements when the decking has been compromised.
Roofing work involves inspecting the underlying structure, replacing damaged sections of plywood or OSB if moisture has caused rot, and installing new underlayment before laying down shingles or metal panels. The goal is to seal the building envelope so water cannot enter through nail holes, valleys, or poorly flashed penetrations. In Aurora, where temperature swings can cause expansion and contraction, proper fastening and ventilation keep the roof system stable year after year.
If your roof is showing signs of wear or you have leaks appearing in the attic after storms, contact Rodvar 5280 LLC to schedule an inspection in Aurora.
What Happens During the Roofing Work
The work begins with removing old shingles down to the deck, which allows for a full assessment of any wood damage or improper framing. In Aurora, older homes sometimes have inadequate ventilation, which traps heat and shortens shingle life. New ice and water shield goes down along the eaves and valleys, followed by synthetic underlayment across the rest of the deck.
Once the roof is finished, you will notice that water runs cleanly off the edge into the gutters instead of pooling in low spots or seeping under lifted shingles. The attic stays dry even during heavy rain, and ceiling stains stop spreading.
Flashing around chimneys, skylights, and plumbing vents is cut and sealed to match the new roofline. Ridge vents are installed if ventilation is inadequate, and drip edge is nailed along the perimeter to keep water from running back under the fascia.
Cleanup includes magnet sweeps to collect stray nails and disposal of all debris.
Questions About Roof Work Are Normal
Homeowners in Aurora often ask about timing, materials, and what to do when damage is not obvious from the ground. These five questions cover the most common concerns that come up before starting a roofing project.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most single-family homes in Aurora take one to three days depending on the size of the roof and the complexity of the valleys and penetrations. Weather delays can extend the timeline if rain or high winds move in.
What if the decking is rotted?
Rotted plywood or OSB is cut out and replaced with new sheets before any underlayment or shingles go down. You will be notified of the extent of the damage once the old shingles are removed.
Why do shingles fail early in some areas?
Poor ventilation traps heat in the attic and bakes the shingles from underneath, which causes premature granule loss and cracking. Adding ridge vents or increasing soffit intake helps extend the life of the new roof.
What happens if hail damaged the roof?
Hail dents the shingles and bruises the mat underneath, which leads to leaks within a year or two. An inspection will show whether the damage is isolated or widespread enough to warrant a full replacement.
When should flashing be replaced?
Flashing should be replaced anytime the roof is replaced, especially around chimneys and skylights where old sealant has dried out. Reusing bent or corroded flashing usually leads to leaks within the first season.
Rodvar 5280 LLC handles roof inspections, repairs, and full replacements in Aurora, and can walk you through what is needed once the old layer is pulled back. Reach out to discuss your roof and schedule a time to review the condition of the deck and flashing.
