"From the established neighborhoods around the Boulder Country Club to the homes near Gunbarrel's thriving tech corridor — Thomsen Roofing has served this community right next door since 1985."
Gunbarrel is practically in our backyard — a Boulder-adjacent community known for its mature, tree-lined neighborhoods, its respected golf community, and a thriving business and tech corridor that's home to some of the region's best-known employers. Thomsen Roofing & Restoration Services is based just minutes away in Boulder and has served Gunbarrel homeowners since 1985, with owner Scot Thomsen personally on every job. From the established homes around the Boulder Country Club and Heatherwood, to the neighborhoods near the Gunbarrel Commons and the businesses along Spine Road and the tech corridor, Scot has roofed homes throughout this community for four decades — which is why more than 90% of our business comes from referrals.
Many Gunbarrel homes were built in the 1970s, 80s, and 90s, which means a large share of the area's roofs are at or past the age where they need attention — especially after a hard Front Range hail season. Gunbarrel sits squarely in "Hail Alley," where damaging hailstorms are an annual threat that can bruise shingles and strip granules in a single afternoon, and its open setting catches the full force of the region's powerful downslope winds. Add heavy snow loads, the freeze-thaw cycle that drives ice dams, and the intense high-altitude sun, and you have a climate that punishes any roof not built and ventilated correctly. This is why Thomsen is big on ventilation — proper attic airflow is the difference between a roof that lasts 10 years and one that lasts 30, and most manufacturers won't honor their warranties without it.
That's why Gunbarrel homeowners choose Thomsen Roofing & Restoration Services. You get a GAF-certified, licensed and insured contractor with 40 years of Front Range experience, an owner on every job, a comprehensive attic ventilation assessment on every project, all flashings and pipe boots replaced (never reused), premium materials, and a strong workmanship warranty. From roof replacements and standing-seam metal roofing to hail and insurance restoration, honest repairs, and seamless gutters, one trusted local crew handles everything that protects your Gunbarrel home. When you're protecting your biggest investment, local expertise matters — and Scot has been bringing it to Front Range roofs since 1985.

"Our 1980s home near the country club needed a full replacement. Scot walked us through every option, did beautiful work, and the ventilation upgrade made a real difference. Couldn't recommend him more."

Answers to the most common questions Gunbarrel homeowners ask before scheduling their free roof estimate.
Possibly. A large share of Gunbarrel homes were built in the 1970s–90s, so many roofs are at or past the age where they need attention — especially after Hail Alley storms. A free inspection tells you honestly whether you need a repair, a replacement, or simply have good years left. We never recommend unnecessary work.
Yes. Gunbarrel sits in Hail Alley, and damaging storms are an annual threat. We provide a thorough free inspection, document the damage the way adjusters expect, and can meet your adjuster on-site, guiding you from inspection to a completed restoration. See our Hail & Insurance Restoration page.
Gunbarrel's intense high-altitude sun, snow loads, and freeze-thaw cycle make proper attic ventilation critical. Most manufacturers won't honor their shingle warranties without it, and poor ventilation raises energy bills and shortens roof life. Thomsen is big on ventilation because it's the difference between a 10-year roof and a 30-year roof.
