Hail rarely stops at the shingles. The same storm that bruises a roof in Gunnison County dents gutters, splits siding and starts leaks, so the six services below are the ones local pros are called for most after a storm here.
A full replacement removes the damaged roof down to the deck, so hidden bruising and soft spots in Gunnison County are fixed in the open, not covered over and forgotten. Pros check the deck, fit new underlayment and ice-and-water shield, then install shingles rated for Colorado hail, all in the.
📞 Call NowGutter damage is strong claim evidence, because bent metal records the storm's direction and stone size in a way shingles alone sometimes cannot show. A pro checks the slope, seams and downspouts, then straightens, reseals or replaces the crushed runs so the whole line drains the way it should again.
📞 Call NowYou get a written report you can hand to your adjuster, which separates hail damage from wear, blistering and old repairs that are not storm related. Slope-by-slope hit counts, not impressions, are what the report leads with — the numbers the claim will be argued from on both sides.
📞 Call NowFast repairs stop a small entry point from rotting decking and insulation, which is where a cheap fix quietly turns into a structural bill later. Emergency leaks are first dried in to stop the water today; the permanent repair is then scheduled and documented for your claim file as well.
📞 Call NowUndersized or sagging old lines are upgraded at the same time, so heavy Front Range downpours stop overwhelming the system every single summer storm. Replaced gutters protect the new roof's edge, the fascia behind it and the foundation below — three payoffs from one straightforward job in Gunnison County.
📞 Call NowWhere an exact colour match is impossible on weathered walls, the pro plans panel placement so the replaced runs sit on the least visible elevation. Small areas are patched panel by panel; long cracked runs are re-sided so the wall sheds water properly again instead of trapping it behind panels.
📞 Call NowWhy roofs in Gunnison County live the lives they do: the storm record, the spread of towns under it, the housing those towns hold, and the winter that follows every hail season.
Start with the record. Gunnison County logged 1 hail events in the 30 years from 1995 to 2024 — among the heaviest totals in Colorado — and the largest stone measured 0.88 inches. Those are county figures, and Almont sits squarely in the storm track that produced them. The storms build over the high country in the afternoon and strengthen as they move, which is why hail here is a recurring season rather than a freak event.
The county seat is Gunnison, and the towns on this page run from valley floors to high settlements — every one of them inside the same storm system. Afternoon cells build over the ranges and move; the county's 1 recorded events are the sum of those passages, town by town, year by year. Altitude changes the details — thinner air, stronger sun, deeper winters — but no town in Gunnison County sits outside the pattern. Gunnison County sits west of the Front Range corridor Coloradans call Hail Alley — but its own recorded 1 events say the risk is real here too.
Roofs here are as varied as the towns: farmhouses and ranch buildings, mountain homes built for snow, subdivisions of architectural shingles near the seat. What they share is exposure — the same hail, the same sun, the same freeze-thaw winters — and the same advice after a storm: document early, count honestly, and let the evidence carry the claim.
Hail is the summer problem; winter writes the second act. The Crested Butte station normals give Almont about 203.0 inches of snow a year and 269.0 nights at or below freezing. Meltwater from that snow finds every hail crack, freezes in it overnight and prises it wider. Ice dams at the eaves and freeze-thaw in the valleys are why a roof that 'survived' the storm in July can be leaking by February.
Materials earn their keep differently at this elevation. Standard asphalt shingles are the baseline; Class 4 impact-resistant shingles buy real odds against the next big stone, and some insurers price that in. Underneath, ice & water shield at the eaves guards the freeze line, while starter strips and closed valleys handle the wind-driven rain that rides in with hail. Add the county's snow load on top and the specification nearly writes itself — the pro's job is matching it to your roof's pitch, age and exposure.
Storm season here has a rhythm: the first severe cells arrive in May, the peak runs through June and July, and late storms can still drop damaging hail into September. Roofs in Gunnison County therefore get inspected on a cycle, not on a hunch — a spring check before the season, a look after any storm that drops stones nearby, and repairs finished before the snow load arrives. It is unglamorous, and it is exactly how roofs here reach their full working life.
The freeze-thaw cycle works meltwater into every hail crack all winter, widening small damage a little more each cold night.
