Front Range Christian School

Front Range Christian School experienced a large hailstorm in August of 2023. Through a long battle with insurance, Western Roofing was called in to talk about a new roof with them in April of 2024. In partnership with the school, Western Roofing was able to assist in correcting the insurance scope of work and get the correct cost to replace the roof for the school. Not only did Western Roofing assist in the insurance side of things but the time frame and pressure the school was under to complete the job was shortened due to the delays caused by insurance. With only 2 months to do the project before school started back up in the fall of 2024, Western Roofing was able to finish the 110,000 sq. ft. job with quality and total satisfaction of the school.

Colorado Grain Elevators

Grain elevators are everywhere in America. Their tall, cylindrical cement construction is iconic, but people don’t think of them as having a traditional roof. 

Still, grain elevator roofing exists, and it can crack. Historically, grain elevator cracks have been sealed with tar, which is imperfect, because it is also subject to weather and erosion. 

Officials hired us to apply Duro-Last roofs to grain elevators in Colorado. Because Duro-Last provides an edge-to-edge seal that caps the cement, it provides better rooftop water protection. 

When water gets in, it can destroy an entire crop, and with a hail-rated rooftop, we can provide the best protection for this kind of industrial application.

Writer's Square

When we roofed Writer’s Square, we were working on two buildings across a road from one another. Logistically, we wanted to be as efficient as possible, so we positioned the crane on Lawrence Street to deliver loads to both buildings across the roadway. That cut cost, time, and impact on traffic.

Historic Armory

When asked to reroof the historic Colorado National Guard Armory, Western Roofing knew we had received a unique request. Built in 1913, The Armory, as the area has named it, is on the National Registry of Historic Places and stands as an iconic Jefferson County building. 

Originally designed to be built with brick, cost-cutting led to constructing the building out of 6,600 tons of river-sourced cobblestone hauled in 3,300 wagonloads to the site.

Because of the historic nature of the building, the roof replacement had to go through added review to be accepted, and the interface of the roof with the existing structure required approval before starting the work. 

We were honored to be part of maintaining this historic building to allow it to provide meaningful use for decades to come.

Disabled American Veterans

This project was interesting because the building is broad and open, which typically makes roofing work easier. But the task was logistically complicated because the roofing was only one part of the overall refurbishing of the whole building. 

We coordinated work with internal construction, painting, plumbing, masonry, and carpeting contractors to time deliveries and production schedules so they could stay on track with their work. On big projects, if one team is behind schedule, others are paid to stand around and wait, increasing construction costs.

 With this project, we were able to get ahead and complete the entire installation ahead of schedule, which kept the overall project moving.

Cherry Creek Towers

When we reroofed the Cherry Creek Towers, we boosted our logistical capacity. The area of town has limited space and parking, so we scheduled delivery, crane services, and teams to load and tie down materials to keep roads moving. The neighborhood appreciated our efficiency. Because of the building's height and because the roof doesn't have built-in barriers, safety was a priority.

We used safety harnesses and a lot of teamwork to stay safe on the job. The roof is interesting because there are only two drains, so we had to consider ways to prevent ponding water in the design. Inspectors had updated the building's codes, and we took much care to ensure the roof would meet or exceed each required upgrade.

St. Mary Magdalene Episcopal

This job was a complete tear-off, deck replacement, insulation, secure rock, and Duro-Last re-roof. This job was particularly challenging due to the rotting decking and short parapet walls. St. Mary Magdalene Episcopal Church had many leaks and desperately needed a new roof. We are so glad we could get them everything they needed to stay dry and be up-to-date on city codes.

Downing Street Station

Getting the opportunity to reroof the Downing Street Station was a great privilege. We are so happy to have turned this black roof into a clean, white, energy-efficient Duro-Last top. There was some uniqueness to this job, as we had to store the debris from the tear-off on the roof as we went until specific times when we could crane off the debris due to the height and access of the building. It was hard not to enjoy this job as Denver's view was beautiful every day.

AAA Insurance

Western Roofing won the opportunity to roof the AAA Insurance building in the spring of 2021. This project was a 50,000 sq. ft. job that required the removal of gravel, additional insulation, fire-rated and hail-rated board, and “The World’s Best Roof” Duro-Last. 

We faced many weather challenges during the project and had to respond immediately to tackle those challenges, resolve them and continue the job. We are so thankful to AAA Insurance for trusting us with their roofing project and look forward to a long relationship with them.
