Frequently Asked Questions

TPO and EPDM flat roofing systems offer excellent hail resistance and durability in Colorado's storm-prone climate. Metal roofing is another strong option for commercial buildings exposed to frequent hail. At Chambers General Contractors, we design roofing systems specifically for Golden and west-metro conditions where hail, wind, and snow loads are common.

Commercial roofs are typically flat or low-slope and use materials like TPO, EPDM, or metal rather than shingles. They must handle heavier snow loads, larger drainage systems, and rooftop equipment. At Chambers General Contractors, we focus exclusively on commercial roofing systems built to meet the demands of Golden and Denver-area businesses.

Inspect your commercial roof after major hail or windstorms, at least once annually, and whenever you notice leaks or pooling water. Colorado's severe weather can cause hidden damage that worsens over time. At Chambers General Contractors, we recommend proactive inspections for aging or storm-damaged systems to prevent costly repairs.

Roof size, material choice, slope complexity, and existing damage all influence pricing. Colorado's snow and wind loads near the foothills may require additional structural support or reinforcement. At Chambers General Contractors, we also consider insurance coordination and energy-efficient upgrades when planning your roofing investment.
