The Most Common Roof, Explained
General William Jackson Palmer founded Colorado Springs in 1871 as a resort town in view of Pikes Peak. The views remain, and so do the sun, wind and hail that roofs here have to handle. For most owners, that roof is asphalt shingles.
Architectural shingles are the usual pick today. They're thicker than the older flat three-tab style and give the roof more texture. Class 4 impact-resistant shingles carry the top rating in a standard impact test and cost more per square foot. In Colorado Springs they're a choice, not a rule. What the city does require is a Class A fire rating on one- and two-family homes, so ask your roofer to show that rating for the shingle in the quote.
Typical Reasons to Request Shingle Roof Replacement
- Curling, cupping or cracking. Shingles that no longer lie flat can lift or snap in strong gusts.
- Grit in the gutters. Granules shield the asphalt from sun, so heavy loss speeds up aging.
- Bruises on every side. Scattered hits can be patched, but damage on many slopes points to new shingles.
- Shingles keep blowing off. Repeat losses after windy days can mean seal strips have failed roof-wide.
- A move up to Class 4. Some owners replace an aging roof early to switch to impact-resistant shingles.
What Shingle Roof Replacement Typically Costs
Shingles are the lower-cost choice for a full replacement. The gap between architectural and Class 4 lines shows in the per-square-foot rows:
| Cost row | Figure | Source (year) |

From Inspection to Cleanup
- Inspection and quote. The roofer checks shingles, flashing, vents and attic, and can price architectural and Class 4 side by side.
- Contract. Both of you sign it before work. You then have 72 hours to cancel.
- PPRBD permit. Only a roofer with an active PPRBD contractor license can pull it.
- Full tear-off. PPRBD doesn't allow new asphalt shingles over existing layers on a home.
- Deck and underlayment. Soft boards are replaced, then underlayment, drip edge and flashing. Above 7,000 feet, an ice barrier runs in from the eaves.
- Shingles and ridge. Asphalt jobs don't usually need a mid-roof inspection.
- Final check. PPRBD inspects, and the roofer clears debris and nails.
What You Can Expect
A clear quote names the shingle brand and product line, the underlayment, how much decking is included and the price for extra boards. Ask what the manufacturer's warranty covers and how long the roofer backs the labor. Colorado law has the roofer hold your payment in trust until the shingles are delivered or most of the work is done. Look up the roofer on pprbd.org and confirm their liability policy includes re-roofing.
What People Want to Know
Are Class 4 shingles required in Colorado Springs?
No. The city requires a Class A fire rating on one- and two-family homes. Class 4 is a hail-impact rating, and choosing it is up to you. These shingles cost more per square foot, so ask your roofer to price both kinds and compare the totals before you decide.
Will Class 4 shingles lower my insurance bill?
They might. Many insurers offer a discount for Class 4 roofs; ask yours. Do it before you sign the roofing contract, and find out what paperwork the insurer wants, such as the product name and proof of the install date. Discounts vary by company and policy, so we can't say what yours will be.
Can my HOA stop me from using Class 4 shingles?
Check your HOA's rules first. Colorado's 2024 HOA law covers fire-hardened roofing materials and says nothing about hail-resistant shingles. Many HOAs also set color and style rules. Get approval in writing before your roofer orders materials, so what arrives matches what was approved.
Is there a state grant for a stronger roof?
Not yet. Colorado created a roof-strengthening grant program in 2026 under SB26-155, but grants are not open yet. No amount or start date has been published, so don't put off urgent work waiting for one. If a roofer says a grant will pay for your roof today, be careful.
