"Boulder and the Front Range see some of the most active hail in the country. When a storm hits, you want a trusted local contractor in your corner — one who documents the damage right, works directly with your insurer, and restores your roof correctly. That's what Thomsen Roofing has done since 1985."
The Front Range sits squarely in "Hail Alley" — one of the most hail-prone regions in the entire country. Boulder, Longmont, Erie, and the surrounding communities can take a serious beating in a single storm, and the damage isn't always obvious from the ground. A roof can look fine from the driveway while shingles overhead have been bruised, cracked, or stripped of the protective granules that keep water out. Left unaddressed, that hidden damage turns into leaks, rot, and far more expensive problems down the road.
That's where Thomsen Roofing comes in. We provide free, thorough storm-damage inspections and, when there's a legitimate claim, we document the damage properly and work directly with your insurance company to make sure your roof is restored correctly — from the first inspection all the way through a completed, code-compliant installation. The difference between an approved claim and a denied one often comes down to how the damage is documented, and that's something we take seriously.
Just as importantly: we're a local company that's been here since 1985, not a storm-chaser that blows into town after a big hailstorm and disappears the next season. When your roof needs attention years from now, we'll still be right here in Boulder. That long-term accountability is exactly why more than 90% of our business comes from referrals.
From the first inspection through the final shingle, we guide you through the entire process so you're never navigating a claim alone.
We climb up and thoroughly assess your roof for hail bruising, wind damage, granule loss, and compromised flashing — no charge, no obligation, no pressure.
We document everything with the photographs, measurements, and detailed reports insurance adjusters expect — the foundation of a successful claim.
We can meet your insurance adjuster on-site, walk the roof together, and make sure the full scope of damage is accounted for — not just what's easy to see.
Insurance claims are confusing. We guide you through each step in plain language so you understand what's happening and what to expect along the way.
Once your claim is approved, we restore your roof correctly and to current code — premium materials, new flashings, proper ventilation, and a workmanship warranty.
We've been in Boulder since 1985 — not a storm-chaser passing through. We're here for the long haul and stand behind every roof we restore.
Hail damage is often invisible from the ground, and the window to file a claim doesn't stay open forever. After a significant storm, it's worth having your roof inspected even if everything looks fine from below — catching damage early protects both your home and your ability to file a valid claim.
If you've had a hailstorm and notice any of these, call us for a free inspection. There's no cost and no obligation — just an honest assessment of where things stand.
After every big hailstorm, out-of-state "storm-chaser" crews flood the Front Range knocking on doors, pressuring homeowners to sign contracts on the spot. They do high-volume work, cut corners on the details that matter, and are long gone by the time a problem shows up. If your roof leaks two years later, there's no one local to call.
Thomsen Roofing is the opposite of that. We've been right here in Boulder since 1985, our reputation is built on referrals from neighbors, and we'll be here years from now to stand behind the work. We don't pressure you, we don't chase storms — we just document the damage honestly and restore your roof the right way.

Final walkthrough, full cleanup, and your workmanship warranty in writing.
Often you can't tell from the ground — that's the tricky part. Signs include dented gutters and flashing, granules in your gutters, dings on vents or AC units, and bruised or cracked shingles. The only way to know for sure is a proper roof-level inspection. After any significant hailstorm, we recommend a free inspection even if everything looks fine from below, because hidden damage can lead to leaks down the road.
Hail and wind are considered "acts of nature," and claims for storm damage are generally treated differently than at-fault claims. Many homeowners are able to file legitimate storm-damage claims without the kind of rate impact a fault-based claim might bring. We're not insurance agents, so we always recommend confirming the specifics with your provider — but storm damage is exactly what your homeowner's policy is designed to cover.
Most policies have a limited window to file after a storm — often a year, sometimes less — so it's important not to wait. The sooner you have your roof inspected and documented after a hail event, the stronger your claim. If you think a recent storm may have damaged your roof, don't put off the free inspection — the window can close before you realize there's a problem.
Yes. We document the damage thoroughly, provide the photos and reports adjusters expect, and can meet your adjuster on-site to walk the roof together and make sure the full scope of damage is accounted for. We guide you through each step so you're never navigating the claim alone. You file the claim with your insurer; we handle the roofing expertise on your side.
On an approved storm-damage claim, your out-of-pocket cost is typically your policy deductible, with your insurer covering the approved scope of the restoration. The specifics depend entirely on your policy and your claim. The inspection and damage documentation from us are always free — you owe nothing to find out where you stand.
We'd urge caution. After big storms, out-of-state storm-chaser crews flood the area with high-pressure door-knocking, do high-volume work, and leave town — so if a problem appears later, there's no one local to call. Thomsen Roofing has been in Boulder since 1985 and will be here for the long haul. Take your time, never sign under pressure, and choose a contractor who'll stand behind the work.
