Rockrimmon Roofs Are Older, Steeper, and Close to the Foothills
Rockrimmon is an established neighborhood in northwest Colorado Springs, on the hills west of I-25 around Rockrimmon Boulevard and Ute Valley Park. Most homes were built in the 1970s and 1980s, many with contemporary designs and steep or multi-level rooflines.
Being close to the foothills brings two things other parts of the city do not deal with as much: strong downslope winds off the mountains, and wildfire risk. The 2012 Waldo Canyon Fire burned homes in nearby Mountain Shadows, and fire-rated roofing is now a real consideration here.
Local Roof Problems
What Roofs in Rockrimmon Deal With
Legacy wood shake roofs
Wood shake was common on homes built in this era. Shake roofs that remain are well past their life, split and curl, and offer little fire protection compared with a Class A rated roof.
Foothill wind
Downslope winds can gust hard enough to strip shingles and ridge caps. Steep, tall rooflines catch even more of it.
Older decking and ventilation
On 40 to 50 year old homes, decking can be soft or damaged, and attic ventilation is often below current code. Both get addressed properly during a replacement.
Wildfire exposure
Embers are the main way homes ignite in a wildfire. A Class A rated roof, ember-resistant vents, and clean gutters reduce that risk.
Repair or Replace?
Should You Repair or Replace Your Roof in Rockrimmon?
If your Rockrimmon home still has a wood shake roof, replacement is almost always the right move, for both leak protection and fire safety. For asphalt roofs, a 20 plus year old roof with wind or hail damage is usually a replacement, while a younger roof with a few missing shingles is a repair. Expect us to check the decking closely, because older homes here sometimes need sections replaced.

Rockrimmon Roofing Questions
Should I replace my wood shake roof in Rockrimmon?
In most cases, yes. Remaining shake roofs are typically well past their life and are far less fire resistant than Class A asphalt, metal, or synthetic roofing. Given Rockrimmon’s wildfire exposure, it is one of the best safety upgrades you can make.
Why do older Rockrimmon homes sometimes need new decking?
After decades of roof replacements and weather, some decking gets soft, delaminated, or damaged. Shingles need a solid, nailable surface, so damaged sections are replaced during tear-off. We show you photos before replacing anything.
Do you offer roofing services in Rockrimmon?
Yes. Revival Roofing serves Rockrimmon and the rest of El Paso County with roof replacement, roof repair, hail and storm damage repair, insurance claim help, Class 4 impact-resistant roofing, seamless gutters, and exterior painting.

Will insurance pay for a new roof in Rockrimmon?
If your roof was damaged by hail or wind, your homeowners policy may cover repair or replacement. We document the damage, meet your adjuster, and make sure code-required items are included in the claim. Permits in Rockrimmon go through the Pikes Peak Regional Building Department (PPRBD), and we pull them on every job.
