How Much Does a New Roof Cost in Colorado?

When homeowners across Denver and the Front Range start planning a roof replacement, one of the first questions they ask is:

“How much does a new roof actually cost?”

On average, a new roof in Colorado costs between $12,000 and $25,000, depending on the size of the home, the chosen roofing material, and the complexity of the project. Smaller homes may fall just below that range, while larger or custom builds can exceed it. Most homeowners will see their roof replacement cost falls somewhere in that window when using high-quality materials and professional installation.

At Lifted High Roofing, we believe homeowners deserve more than just a number — they deserve clarity. Through our RSRA (Roofing Sales Redefined Approach), we help Colorado homeowners understand what drives cost, what affects longevity, and how to make a smart investment for their home.

Class 3 vs. Class 4 Shingles: What You Need to Know

Across Denver and the Front Range, Class 3 architectural shingles remain the most popular roofing option. They deliver dependable performance, strong wind resistance, and beautiful curb appeal at an attainable price — often keeping the total replacement cost around $13,000 to $19,000 for most average-sized homes.

More homeowners are upgrading to Class 4 impact-resistant shingles for maximum hail and wind protection. These shingles represent the top tier of asphalt roofing — built to withstand severe weather and often qualify for insurance premium reductions.

However, Class 4 shingle pricing has risen sharply in the past year, pushing many replacements closer to $20,000 – $25,000 depending on roof size and pitch. Major suppliers such as GAF, CertainTeed, Beacon Building Products, and ABC Supply have all reported increases due to higher manufacturing and transportation costs.

That’s why many Colorado homeowners continue to choose Class 3 systems — they are economical, durable, and visually appealing while still providing strong performance against our unpredictable weather.

What Impacts the Cost of a New Roof in Colorado

Every roof is unique, and no two projects cost the same. The biggest factors include:

1. Roof Size and Design

Larger or more complex roofs require additional materials and labor. A small ranch home in Denver may sit near the low end of the $12,000 – $25,000 range, while steep, multi-level homes can exceed it.

2. Tear-Off and Decking Repairs

If your old roof must be removed or the decking underneath shows rot or water damage, replacement is essential for long-term performance. Investing in proper prep work prevents costly issues later.

3. Materials and Supplier Partnerships

Lifted High Roofing proudly partners with Beacon Building Products, ABC Supply, Metal Roofing Solutions, GAF, and CertainTeed to source top-quality products. These suppliers offer roofing systems engineered for Colorado’s demanding climate — from architectural Class 3 and Class 4 shingles to standing seam metal and concrete tile.

4. Ventilation and Insulation

Proper attic ventilation and insulation prevent moisture, ice dams, and heat damage. Every Lifted High Roofing inspection includes a full ventilation assessment as part of our RSRA process.

5. Workmanship and Warranty

Even the best materials can fail under poor installation. We stand behind every project with a 5- to 20-year workmanship warranty, ensuring lasting protection and performance.

Architectural Shingles: Colorado’s Most Reliable Choice

Architectural shingles — especially Class 3 and Class 4 — are built for hail, high winds, snow, and UV exposure at high altitude.

• Class 3 shingles: reliable and affordable, keeping most projects within the $13,000 – $19,000 range.
• Class 4 shingles: premium impact resistance and extended lifespan, typically $20,000 – $25,000 for a full replacement.

At Lifted High Roofing, our goal isn’t to upsell — it’s to educate. We help you choose the system that best fits your home, budget, and long-term plans.

Upgraded Roofing Systems: Metal and Concrete Tile

When longevity and architectural beauty are top priorities, metal and concrete tile roofs stand above the rest.

Metal Roofing

Our standing-seam systems, supplied through Metal Roofing Solutions and ABC Supply, can last 30 to 50 years. They’re fire-resistant, hail-resistant, energy-efficient, and ideal for mountain or foothill homes. While the cost is typically above $25,000, metal roofs deliver decades of performance with minimal maintenance — a one-time investment that pays off in peace of mind.

Concrete Tile Roofing

For timeless style and unmatched durability, concrete tile roofs — sourced through Beacon and CertainTeed — can exceed 50 years of service. Though heavier and more expensive to install, concrete tile systems add significant home value and withstand Colorado’s sun, snow, and hail like few other materials.

At Lifted High Roofing, we guide you through comparing Class 3, Class 4, metal, and tile side-by-side, so you understand both the upfront costs and lifetime benefits.

The Roofing Sales Redefined Approach (RSRA)
