Lyons Roofing & Exterior Contractor

Lyons is the gateway to the foothills and Rocky Mountain National Park — with unique weather, flood-recovery history, and tight-knit community expectations. We handle roofing, painting, siding, gutters, and full exterior restoration with the foothills expertise Lyons needs.

What Lyons homes are up against

Lyons sits at the base of the foothills, exposed to chinook winds, occasional hail, and — historically — the catastrophic September 2013 flood that damaged much of the town. Many Lyons homes are still in post-flood rebuild or retrofit mode. The May 2023 Northern Front Range hail event passed through the region. High-wind nailing patterns and heavier ice-and-water shield coverage matter extra here.

Lyons FAQ

Questions from Lyons Homeowners

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

Do you service all of Lyons?
Yes — Western Edge Exteriors serves every neighborhood in Lyons and the surrounding Boulder County (Foothills) area, including Lyons, Hygiene, Longmont, Allenspark, Ward, and more. We typically have same-week inspection availability, and our crews are experienced with Lyons-specific permit and inspection workflows.
Who pulls the roofing permit in Lyons?
In Lyons, residential roofing permits go through Town of Lyons Planning and Building (303-823-6622). Permit fees are typically $160–$420. 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 Lyons?
Lyons 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 Lyons?
Most Colorado homeowners policies cover hail damage to your roof under your dwelling coverage, regardless of where you live in Lyons or Boulder 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 Lyons?
Most residential roof replacements in Lyons run between $12,000 and $35,000+ depending on roof size, pitch, material, and how much decking repair is needed. Permit fees in Lyons typically run $160–$420 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 Lyons?
No. Under Colorado Senate Bill 12-038 (SB38), it's illegal anywhere in Colorado — including Lyons — 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.
