Your roof takes the full force of a Southwest Colorado year: intense high-altitude sun, heavy mountain snow, freeze-thaw swings, and late-summer monsoon downpours. Universal Roofing has installed, replaced, and repaired residential roofs across La Plata County since 2005, and roofing is still the heart of what we do.
Whether you need a small repair, a full tear-off and replacement, or honest advice on how much life your current roof has left, we will walk the roof, show you what we find, and give you a free estimate with no pressure.

Built for our climate
At Durango-area elevations the sun degrades roofing faster than it does at sea level, and snow load plus freeze-thaw can open up seams and flashing over a single winter. We spec materials and details for that reality, not for a catalog photo, so your roof holds up to real mountain and high-desert weather.
Frequently asked questions
How long should a roof last in this climate?
It depends on the material and exposure. A quality asphalt shingle roof commonly lasts 20 to 30 years here, while metal can go considerably longer. Altitude UV and snow load shorten the low end, which is why proper installation and ventilation matter so much.
Metal or shingle for a home up here?
Both work well when installed correctly. Metal sheds snow and lasts longer; shingles cost less up front and are easy to repair. We will look at your roof's pitch, exposure, and your budget and give you a straight recommendation.
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes. Every residential estimate is free and no-obligation. Call (970) 759-6008 and we will set up a time to look at your roof.
