Roofers in Thornton specialize in a range of services, from roof repair and replacement to roof cleaning. Some even provide additional services like installing solar panels. Here's a breakdown of some common services offered:
- Metal roofing: Many Thornton roofing contractors specialize in installing metal roofs, which are good for homeowners looking for an energy-efficient option.
- Roof cleaning: Another service sometimes required in Thornton is roof cleaning. Moss can be detrimental to your roof by pulling up shingles, which decreases your home's energy efficiency and exposes your underlayment to water. Roof cleaning is also useful to increase the curb appeal of your home if you're planning on selling.

Thornton is vulnerable to extreme weather that can lead to severe storm damage. These issues must be fixed promptly to avoid more property damage.

When Should I Replace My Roof in Thornton?
The lifespan of a roof varies depending on the type of roofing material and which area your Thornton home is in, but there are a few factors you should pay attention to in order to help you determine when it's time to replace your roof. Several leaks coming through the roof or other considerable damage that can't be repaired is a sign that your roof should be replaced.
A roof not only protects your home from the weather, but also makes a good base for solar panels. Thornton homeowners who plan on putting on solar panels soon may want to plan on replacing their roof first. Otherwise, you might need to take down the panels later to replace your roof.
Lastly, it's time to start planning for a replacement when your roof's lifespan is nearly up – typically around 20 to 30 years depending on the roofing material. See the table below for some details on when you might want to replace your roof based on the kind of roof material you have.
