Lakewood roofs, from Belmar to Green Mountain.
Roof replacement, repair, and emergency leak service across Lakewood, from a family company registered with the City of Lakewood.
Down to the deck, every time.
A roof replacement in Lakewood starts with the city's rules. They require a permit before any tear-off, the old roofing removed down to the deck, and a Class A fire-rated covering to go back on. GEN 3 is registered as a contractor with the City of Lakewood, pulls the permit, and submits the inspection photographs the city asks for.
Lakewood was in the path of the May 8, 2017 hailstorm, the one that closed the Colorado Mills mall for months and did about $2.3 billion in insured damage across the west metro. A great many roofs here were replaced in the year that followed, which makes them most of a decade old now. When one is due again, Class 4 impact-resistant shingles are the upgrade we recommend most often, and many carriers discount premiums for them.
The work changes with the house. In Eiber, Morse Park, and the older streets near Belmar, we sometimes find spaced-board decking under the shingles, which Lakewood requires to be sheeted over with plywood or OSB before a new roof goes on. Out toward Green Mountain, on the city's west edge, roofs take wind off the foothills as well as hail. We work across the city, in Southern Gables, Union Square, and Applewood too.
Not every call ends in a new roof. A repair of less than 100 square feet needs no permit in Lakewood, and we back ours with a two-year craftsmanship guarantee. One exception: the old interlocking T-lock shingles are no longer made, and Lakewood does not approve them for re-roofing, so on a T-lock roof the conversation is about replacement. Either way the inspection is free, and the written estimate follows within 24 to 48 hours.

A roof open to the weather
Hail, wind, or a fallen limb opened the roof? We cover it with secured tarps or temporary membrane the same day, then schedule the permanent repair.

Lakewood roofing questions
A permit before tear-off, the old roofing removed down to the deck, a Class A fire-rated roof covering, and drip edge at the eaves and rakes. The city inspects asphalt shingle roofs from photographs uploaded to the permit, with one final inspection. GEN 3 is registered with the City of Lakewood and handles the permit and the photographs.
We answer that on the roof, for free. A leak at a pipe boot or flashing and a few missing shingles are repairs, and a repair under 100 square feet needs no permit in Lakewood. Hail bruising across whole slopes, or old T-lock shingles, which Lakewood does not approve for re-roofing, point to replacement. You get photographs and the numbers for both.
