A New Roof for Your Security-Widefield Home
Security-Widefield is a Census-designated place in unincorporated El Paso County, Colorado, about 8 miles south-southeast of downtown Colorado Springs. The 2020 Census counted 38,639 residents across 12.99 square miles. Widefield School District 3 describes it as the largest unincorporated area in the state.
It is a community of owners. Census data for 2020 to 2024 puts the owner-occupied rate at 87.2 percent, far above the 60.9 percent figure for Colorado Springs. With nearly nine in ten homes owner-occupied, a new roof is a long-term choice, so compare warranties as closely as prices.
Homes and Roofs Across Security-Widefield
The median value of an owner-occupied home here was $387,500 over 2020 to 2024, and the median household income was $91,142. No median build year is published for the area, so your own roof's install date tells you more than the street's age.
Many families here serve in the military. District 3, which runs 18 schools for about 9,348 students, reports that 28 percent of its families are active-duty. Orders can mean selling on short notice. An inspection before you list gives you time to fix or replace on your own terms.
A mailing address may name a nearby city, so let your roofer confirm the parcel's jurisdiction.
What Security-Widefield Homeowners Can Request
- A whole new roof. Ask for a full roof replacement when the roof is near the end of its life or patching no longer holds.
- Damage after a storm. For storm and hail damage, a roofer can record what the storm did. Negotiating the claim stays between you and your insurer.
- Standing-seam metal. Metal roof replacement costs more up front. Owners who plan to stay a long time often price it.
- Asphalt shingles. Shingle roof replacement covers standard architectural shingles and Class 4 impact-rated ones.
- A smaller fix. If the damage is limited, roof repair may be enough. Patches under 100 sq ft need no PPRBD permit.
Hail Close to Home in 2018
On the evening of August 6, 2018, NWS Pueblo logged its largest hail report of that storm, 4 inches across, about 2 miles east-southeast of Security at 8:57 p.m. The agency listed Security among the places affected, along with Fountain, Manitou Springs and the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo.
Two months earlier, on June 13, 2018, a rare nighttime storm dropped 3.0-inch hail over the southern Colorado Springs metro and Fountain, with about $169 million in damage. NWS did not name Security-Widefield for that June storm, but it struck the areas just north and south of here.
If you file a claim, the deductible is yours. Under Colorado law, no roofer may promise to cover or waive it.
Permits Come From PPRBD, Not a City Hall
Because the area is unincorporated, there is no town permit desk. The Pikes Peak Regional Building Department (PPRBD) handles roof permits for unincorporated El Paso County, including Security-Widefield. What that means for your job:
- A permit for anything over 100 sq ft. That covers repairs and full replacements alike.
- An active PPRBD contractor license first. PPRBD will not issue the permit until the roofer holds one, and the roofer pulls the permit.
- A full tear-off. New asphalt shingles can't go over old layers.
- Inspection booked by the roofer. The contractor who took out the permit schedules it, and re-roof inspections are not same-day.
You can look up a permit's status and inspection results on pprbd.org. PPRBD's main office is at 2880 International Circle, and its North Office is at 3939 Cordera Crest Avenue, both in Colorado Springs, CO (719-327-2880).

| Colorado standing-seam metal, per sq ft | $9.00–$14.00 | askdoss (2026) |
The biggest swing here is usually material. Class 4 shingles cost more per square foot than standard ones, but many insurers offer a discount for Class 4 roofs, so ask yours before you choose. Try the cost calculator or the cost guide for more detail.
Built With Security-Widefield in Mind
A big unincorporated area can feel like it falls between offices. This page puts the county-level rules in one place.
- The right office, named. PPRBD issues the permit and licenses the roofer, so there is one place to check.
- Timing that fits a move. Ask for an inspection early if a sale or a change of station is coming.
- Your own checks. Search the roofer on pprbd.org, ask for liability insurance that covers re-roofing, and get a local address.
- Paperwork on your side. Colorado requires a written, signed roofing contract before work begins.
Check Coverage and Roof Condition
Type in your ZIP code or town to confirm coverage. Then answer five quick questions in the repair-or-replace quiz to see whether a repair may do or a full roof is likely on the table.
Before Your Security-Widefield Inspection
Who issues roof permits in Security-Widefield?
PPRBD does, because Security-Widefield sits in unincorporated El Paso County and has no building office of its own. Any roof repair or replacement over 100 sq ft needs a permit. Your roofer pulls it, and PPRBD only issues it to a contractor with an active PPRBD license.
Did the 2018 hailstorms reach Security-Widefield?
NWS Pueblo listed Security among the places affected on August 6, 2018, and its largest report that night, 4-inch hail, came from about 2 miles east-southeast of Security. The June 13, 2018 storm hit the southern metro and Fountain, but NWS did not name Security-Widefield.
Can the roofer deal with my insurance company for me?
A roofer can inspect, photograph and price the damage. Colorado law says a roofer cannot act as your public adjuster or negotiate your claim. You and your insurer settle it, or you can hire a licensed public adjuster.
What if my insurer denies the claim after I sign?
Colorado gives you 72 hours to cancel a roofing contract after you receive written notice that your insurer denied the claim in whole or in part. That is separate from the 72-hour window you get right after signing.
