What Longmont homes are up against

Longmont took 1.75" hail (golf-ball sized) in the May 9-10, 2023 Northern Front Range hail event — one of the most documented severe weather outbreaks of that year. Longmont also carries unique wind exposure from its location between Boulder's foothills and the eastern plains. The mix of historic downtown homes and explosive new-subdivision growth means roof stock runs from 1890s to 2024 — every age group needs different considerations.

Longmont FAQ

Questions from Longmont Homeowners

Real, location-specific answers — permits, insurance, hail history, and the Colorado laws that matter.

Do you service all of Longmont?
Yes — Western Edge Exteriors serves every neighborhood in Longmont and the surrounding Boulder County area, including Longmont, Firestone, Mead, Frederick, Berthoud, and more. We typically have same-week inspection availability, and our crews are experienced with Longmont-specific permit and inspection workflows.
Who pulls the roofing permit in Longmont?
In Longmont, residential roofing permits go through City of Longmont Building Services (303-651-8332). Permit fees are typically $150–$400. We pull the permit as part of the job — you don't have to handle that paperwork yourself. The current code adopted is 2021 IRC / 2021 IBC.
What's the hail damage history in Longmont?
Longmont has been impacted by multiple significant hail events in recent years, including May 9-10, 2023 — Northern Front Range Hail. The Front Range sees damaging hail regularly, and even one storm can reduce a roof's lifespan dramatically. We offer free post-storm inspections — the only reliable way to confirm whether your roof was affected.
Does my homeowners insurance cover hail damage in Longmont?
Most Colorado homeowners policies cover hail damage to your roof under your dwelling coverage, regardless of where you live in Longmont or Boulder / Weld County. You're responsible for your deductible; insurance covers the rest up to policy limits. Your policy type (ACV vs RCV) and roof age affect what you actually collect. We help document damage and work directly with your adjuster throughout the claim.
How much does a roof replacement cost in Longmont?
Most residential roof replacements in Longmont run between $12,000 and $35,000+ depending on roof size, pitch, material, and how much decking repair is needed. Permit fees in Longmont typically run $150–$400 and are included in most estimates. We give a free written estimate at the inspection — no pressure, no obligation.
Is it legal for a roofer to waive my deductible in Longmont?
No. Under Colorado Senate Bill 12-038 (SB38), it's illegal anywhere in Colorado — including Longmont — for a roofing contractor to pay, waive, rebate, or credit your insurance deductible. If a contractor offers this, the contract is unenforceable and both parties can face penalties. It's one of the clearest red flags for a storm chaser. Legitimate roofers won't ever propose it.
