Golden roofs, between the mesas and the foothills.

Roof repair, emergency leak service, replacement, and gutters for Golden and the Jefferson County foothills, from a family roofing company with roots back to 1968.

Golden, CO. Jefferson County.

Hail on the mesas, wind off the canyon.

Golden sits between North and South Table Mountain and the first wall of the foothills, and the weather uses all of it. The hailstorm of May 8, 2017 grew over Jefferson County between Golden, Wheat Ridge, and Lakewood, dropped stones as large as baseballs, and at about $2.3 billion in insured losses became the costliest hailstorm in Colorado's history. A great many roofs on this side of the metro were replaced in the year that followed.

Wind is the other half. Golden sits at the mouth of Clear Creek Canyon, and the winds off the foothills are hard enough to lift tabs, crease shingles, and strip ridge caps. Most wind calls are repairs, done with matched shingles and backed by a two-year craftsmanship guarantee. When we replace a roof here, we install it to the manufacturer's high-wind instructions.

A Golden address is not always inside Golden. Applewood, Pleasant View, and Genesee are unincorporated Jefferson County, and so are many homes on Lookout Mountain. There the county issues the permit, and GEN 3 holds a Jefferson County contractor license. Inside city limits, the City of Golden issues it. We confirm which office your address falls under before we write the proposal.

Up the hill, roofs face one more thing: snow that sits. We clear ice dams and correct the ventilation behind them, and for foothills homes we quote standing seam metal side by side with Class 4 shingles. Gutters, downspouts, and fascia are part of the same scope.

Emergency and leak repair in Golden

Wind and water do not wait for business hours. Call (303) 923-5039 and tell us what you see.

Shingles gone after a windstorm

We cover anything open to the weather the same day with secured tarps or temporary membrane, then replace what is gone with matched shingles.

An active leak or an ice dam

We trace the leak from the roof side and repair the cause. In winter we relieve the ice dam, stop the water, and come back when it is dry to fix what caused it.

After hours

Call the same number. If you reach voicemail, leave the address and a callback number, and we respond as fast as a crew can be dispatched.

Homes in Applewood, Pleasant View, and Genesee, and many on Lookout Mountain, carry a Golden mailing address but sit in unincorporated Jefferson County, so the county issues the permit. GEN 3 holds a Jefferson County contractor license. Inside city limits, the City of Golden issues it. We confirm which applies before we write the proposal.

Often. A few lifted, creased, or missing shingles are a repair, done with matched shingles and backed by a two-year craftsmanship guarantee. If the damage runs across a slope or more, we explain the options, including an insurance claim, and what the permit office for your address requires.

Yes. Standing seam metal sheds snow, handles wind, and resists hail better than any shingle, which is why it is common above Golden. We quote it side by side with Class 4 shingles so you can compare cost and service life.

Yes. We install and replace seamless aluminum gutters and downspouts, with guards where trees make them worthwhile, on their own or under the same scope as the roof.
