Security-Widefield is an unincorporated community south of Colorado Springs, between Fort Carson and Peterson Space Force Base. Much of it was built in the 1960s through the 1980s, and many homes have been owned by military families and have seen several owners and several roofs.
Storms moving north from Pueblo along the I-25 corridor often cross Security-Widefield before reaching the city.
Older homes sometimes have a second layer of shingles installed over the first. Code limits roofs to two layers, so a replacement means a full tear-off.
After 50 plus years, some decking is soft or damaged from old leaks. Bad sections need to be replaced before new shingles go on.
Homes from this era often have too little ventilation by today’s standards. That shortens shingle life and can cause moisture problems in the attic.
Repair or Replace?
On many Security-Widefield homes, the roof is old enough that repair only buys a little time. If your roof has two layers, visible curling, or leaks in more than one place, replacement is usually the better value. If hail was involved, insurance may cover much of the cost, so get an inspection first.

It means the next roof requires a full tear-off. Building code does not allow a third layer. Tear-off also lets us inspect and fix the decking underneath.
