Roofing, siding, windows, gutters, and exterior paint built for Berthoud's Front Range hail, foothill wind off Carter Lake, and high-altitude sun.

Family-owned · Licensed & insured · 4.9★ from 150+ Front Range reviews · Serving for over a decade

Berthoud's housing runs from the Victorian-era homes and tree-lined streets of the old downtown grid near the Berthoud Mercantile to the brand-new builds going up in Heritage Ridge, Hammond Farm, and the Heron Lakes community around TPC Colorado. CR Custom Exteriors is a family-owned, Erie-based contractor that's worked the Front Range for over a decade, and we know the difference between re-roofing a century-old home off Mountain Avenue and replacing builder-grade shingles and gutters on a house that's barely a decade old. We handle roofing, siding, windows, gutters, and exterior paint with experienced crews and no storm-chaser pressure.

Berthoud sits in the southeast corner of Larimer County at about 5,030 feet, spread along the Little Thompson River where the plains start their climb toward the foothills. That position puts the town squarely in the Front Range hail belt, so the spring and summer storms that build over the mountains regularly hammer shingles, gutters, and siding before they ever reach the open plains. The same foothills that hold Carter Lake just northwest of town funnel hard downslope and Chinook winds across Berthoud that lift shingles and drive rain behind siding, and the thin, high-altitude air lets UV bleach paint and dry out roofing faster than it would at lower elevation. The town's housing splits the same way its history does: the "Garden Spot of Colorado" core holds graceful older homes with original wood trim and aging roofs that need real care, while the fast-growing subdivisions on the edges are now hitting the age where their first roofs and builder-grade gutters start to give out.

We know Berthoud's hail belt

Sitting where the plains meet the foothills along the Little Thompson, Berthoud takes direct hits from the spring and summer hail that builds over the mountains. We inspect for the impact bruising and granule loss that quietly shortens a roof's life, and we install impact-rated systems built to hold up to the next storm.

Built for foothill wind and sun

The same foothills that hold Carter Lake just northwest of town channel hard downslope and Chinook winds across Berthoud, while high-altitude UV punishes south-facing paint and shingles. We spec and fasten roofing, siding, and exterior paint to handle both, not just a calm day.

Right approach for every Berthoud home

Berthoud spans Victorian-era homes in the old downtown grid and brand-new builds in Heritage Ridge, Hammond Farm, and Heron Lakes. We tailor the work to the home in front of us, whether that's careful re-roofing and trim repair on an older house or replacing failing builder-grade gutters and siding in the newer subdivisions.

Do I need a permit for a roof or siding replacement in Berthoud, CO?
Yes. A re-roof or siding job in Berthoud almost always requires a permit, which is issued by the Town of Berthoud building department (some outlying properties fall under Larimer County instead). We pull the permit as part of your project and handle the required inspection, so the paperwork is not on you. Confirm current fees and requirements with the Town of Berthoud, since local codes are updated periodically.
How does Berthoud's weather affect my roof and exterior?
Sitting near 5,030 feet along the Little Thompson River where the plains start climbing toward the foothills, Berthoud homes take direct hail, strong downslope wind, intense high-altitude UV, and constant freeze-thaw swings. That combination cracks and granule-strips shingles, chalks and fades exterior paint, and works fasteners loose over time. It is why we favor impact-resistant Owens Corning shingles and check flashing, sealants, and caulk lines on homes throughout Heritage Ridge, Hammond Farm, and the Heron Lakes area.
Which Berthoud neighborhoods do you serve, and how fast can you start?
We work across all of Berthoud, including Heritage Ridge, Hammond Farm, Heron Lakes at TPC Colorado, Vantage, and Farmstead, plus nearby Loveland, Longmont, Johnstown, and Mead. Free estimates are usually scheduled within a few days, and start dates depend on materials, weather, and permit timing. After a big hail storm rolls through, demand spikes across the northern Front Range, so it is worth booking your inspection early.
Can you help with a hail damage insurance claim in Berthoud?
Yes. Berthoud sits in an active hail corridor, so storm claims are common here, and we will inspect your roof and exterior, document the damage, and meet your adjuster on site to walk the findings together. You file the claim with your own carrier, and we work from their approved scope. Coverage and deductibles vary by policy, so confirm the specifics with your insurer before work begins.
