"From the historic brick storefronts of Old Town Lafayette to the newer neighborhoods near Indian Peaks — Thomsen Roofing brings four decades of Front Range experience to every Lafayette home. Since 1985."
Lafayette blends genuine small-town character with one of the most walkable, artsy downtowns in Boulder County — a community proud of its coal-mining heritage and its tight-knit feel. Thomsen Roofing & Restoration Services has served Lafayette homeowners since 1985 from our base in nearby Boulder, with owner Scot Thomsen personally on every job. From the historic brick storefronts and early-1900s homes of Old Town Lafayette along Public Road, to established neighborhoods like Centaur Village, to newer master-planned communities such as Indian Peaks and Coal Creek Village near the golf course, Scot has roofed homes of every era in this community — which is why more than 90% of our business comes from referrals.
Lafayette's mix of century-old miners' cottages and modern subdivisions means roofs of every type, and they all face the same demanding Front Range climate. Lafayette sits squarely in "Hail Alley," where damaging hailstorms are an annual threat that can bruise shingles and strip granules in minutes, and the town's position along the foothills means it catches the region's powerful downslope winds that lift and tear shingles. Add heavy snow loads, the freeze-thaw cycle that drives ice dams, and the intense high-altitude sun that bakes asphalt shingles most of the year, 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 Lafayette homeowners choose Thomsen Roofing & Restoration Services.

When you're protecting your biggest investment, local expertise matters — and Scot has been bringing it to Front Range roofs since 1985.

Answers to the most common questions Lafayette homeowners ask before scheduling their free roof estimate.
Yes. Lafayette 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.
Absolutely. Old Town Lafayette has miners' cottages and homes dating to the early 1900s coal-mining era, with original details and complex rooflines. Scot's 40 years of Front Range experience equip him to handle these older homes with care and deliver workmanship worthy of their character.
Lafayette'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.
Lafayette's position along the foothills means it catches powerful downslope winds, which routinely lift and tear shingles — especially on roofs without proper fastening. A properly installed roof holds up far better. If wind has damaged your shingles, our repair team can re-secure and replace what's needed.
