Bulldog Roofing strives to exceed expectations and is one of the top roofing companies in Longmont, Colorado and surrounding areas. We are experts in Residential and Commercial Roof Repair and Replacement. Call now, we can help you today. We take pride in the quality of our work, customer service, honesty, responsiveness, and in the competitive pricing we offer. The majority of our business comes from a strong referral base. We are one of the top-rated roofing companies in Longmont, Colorado because of the recommendations from people just like you. Our dedication to customer satisfaction is unsurpassed. 'If our customer is not happy, we are not happy' We have been successfully growing our business exponentially on this philosophy alone. We look forward to taking care of all your roofing needs and thank you for your word of mouth referral and in such for helping our business grow.

"When last year's hail and windstorm damaged our roof, we knew it needed to be replaced. We took our time interviewing five different roofing contractors. After narrowing it down to the last three, we chose Bulldog over the other more 'well-established' roofers because of how thorough Bulldog was with every single detail. Filing an insurance claim can be overwhelming, but Darby and Tyler met our insurance adjuster on site and then spent a lot of time helping me understand the insurance estimate. Once Darby and his crew showed up on site, it was like a swarm of bees took over our property. Every person, to the person, was motivated and focused on our job. Incredibly professional and polite and after each day, they thoroughly cleaned up the job site as if the property was their own! Darby was there during the entire 4 day job watching every detail of the work and was always available to answer questions. It was clear that he had the respect of his crew and that surely was due to the respect he had for them. To watch the way he interacted with his crew was really amazing. He wasn't just managing our project, he was managing the people that represent him and the company and it was clear that he admired and respected the work they did. When we did the final walk through, Darby was very insistent on completing everything on the final punch list so that it was perfect. It was as if he was working on his own Dad's house! Even though I just met Darby, he treated me with so much respect and care....just like he does with his entire crew. I honestly don't know if there could have been a better person for our project. I have nothing but praise for Bulldog roofing, but even more praise for the guy that IS Bulldog roofing to me. Darby, you'r simply the best and I'm so proud of how you do your business. What an incredible experience we had with Bulldog Roofing! I wish there was a sixth star that I could give you, Darby! Well done and thank you for taking such great care of our family!"

We are a fully licensed, insured, and warranted roofing contractor that specializes in roofing repairs and roof coatings. We can have a licensed roofer at your home within 48 hours to get your issues solved! Our company was founded because most professional roofing companies will not do small repairs. This left homeowners with only two options. Work with a reputable company on a full roof replacement sooner than they needed it, or have the repairs done by a unexperienced, unlicensed, and uninsured individual. Now you don't have to choose! All our repairmen have a minimum of 10 years of experience and are trained specifically for handling technical repairs including: - Using a roofing snake/Pactool. This slower method allows us to surgically repair small areas without cracking the surrounding shingles. - Sistering rafters if the wood underneath has become compromised by water intrusion. - Tests for identifying the source of water intrusion.

"Fantastic repair. Highly professional, very clean and neat in his work as well as very reliable. A true professional a term that is very difficult to find in the industry today."

Roofing questions, answered by experts

The most common roof pitch is 4:12, which means a rise of 4 inches for every 12 inches of horizontal run. However, roof pitch varies widely based on roof design, climate, and even the roofing materials you plan to install. Your building type also plays a role, as flat roofs are common on commercial buildings and some modern homes.

The ridge is the horizontal line where two sloping roof sections meet at the top, forming the highest point of the roof. A hip, on the other hand, is the external angle formed where two roof sections meet and slope downward toward the walls, typically at a lower angle than the ridge. The ridge runs horizontally along the peak and the hip runs diagonally from the peak to the roof's edges.

Homeowners insurance does not usually cover roof soft spot repair. Since this damage is usually caused by wear and tear and often found on aging roofs, your insurance claim will likely be rejected. If a soft spot develops due to damage from a storm, repairs may be covered, but in general, expect to pay out of pocket for soft spot repairs.

While you don’t have to let roofers inside your home, it is proper etiquette to offer the use of your restrooms. And if it’s a hot day, it’s polite to invite the roofers into your house to cool off and have a chilled drink.

You’re going to need a permit for nearly every roof-raising project. This is a very important step, as the work you’re doing has serious safety considerations. Professionals are the ones to handle this type of work—including sourcing the permits—as they have the expertise required to perform the work safely. Insurance and warranty are usually voided if you do this work without a permit, and you may even be required to halt construction and tear it down as a penalty for working without a building permit.
