Flying Horse is a master-planned golf community in far northern Colorado Springs, near Highway 83 and Northgate Boulevard by the Air Force Academy. Homes here are larger, with multiple roof planes, hips, valleys, dormers, and turrets. Many use concrete tile or premium designer shingles.
The earliest Flying Horse homes are now approaching 20 years old. That is the age when underlayment beneath tile roofs starts to wear out and first-generation shingle roofs start showing their age, especially after several north Springs hail seasons.
More valleys, transitions, and wall intersections mean more places for water to get in and more places for hail damage to be missed. Every plane needs to be walked and documented.
Concrete tile handles hail better than most shingles, but large hail and foot traffic crack tiles. Broken tiles expose the underlayment below, which is what actually keeps water out.
Tile can outlast the underlayment beneath it. When the underlayment fails, the fix is to lift the tile, replace the underlayment, and reset the tile, not just swap a few broken pieces.
Flying Horse has detailed architectural standards. Material, profile, and color changes need approval before any work starts.
Repair or Replace?
For tile roofs, a handful of cracked tiles is usually a repair. Widespread cracking, or leaks from worn-out underlayment, usually means a lift-and-relay or full replacement. For designer shingle roofs, hail damage on a roof approaching 15 to 20 years old is often best handled as a full replacement through insurance. Because replacement costs are high here, the insurance estimate needs to match the actual materials and roof complexity.
