CR Custom Exteriors – Brighton, CO

Roofing, siding, windows, gutters, and paint for Brighton homes — from the old grid near Main Street to the newer subdivisions out by Prairie Center.

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

CR Custom Exteriors is a family-owned contractor that has worked Brighton and the rest of Adams County for over a decade. We know the difference between a 1950s brick ranch off Bridge Street and a builder-grade two-story out in Bromley Park — and we price and install for each accordingly. Free in-home estimates, no storm-chaser pressure, and a real local crew.

Brighton sits in the South Platte River bottomland, and that river valley does something the higher, drier suburbs don't: it funnels storms straight up the corridor and holds moisture from generations of irrigated farm ground around Barr Lake and the old vegetable fields east of town. When a summer cell tracks the Platte, Brighton catches the hail and the sideways rain before it ever reaches the foothills, and the damp valley air is harder on north-facing wood trim, fascia, and gutter seams than people expect this far out on the plains. That mix — hard hail, river-valley moisture, and the dry mile-high sun that splits south-facing paint by August — is why exterior work here can't be treated like a generic Front Range job.

We work both Brighton housing eras

From the mid-century brick ranches and bungalows around historic Main Street to the newer builds in Bromley Park, The Crossings, and Prairie Center, we match materials and methods to the house in front of us instead of running one template across town.

Built for the South Platte valley, not a brochure

Storms ride the river corridor and Barr Lake basin, and the valley holds moisture longer than the drier suburbs. We seal gutters, soffits, and fascia for that damp-and-hail combination — the failure points we actually see on Brighton homes.

Adams County local for over a decade

We're based up the road in Erie and have served Brighton, Henderson, and Fort Lupton for years. You get the same crew start to finish, an Owens Corning install, and no out-of-state truck that disappears after the check clears.

Do I need a permit to replace my roof or siding in Brighton, CO?
Yes. Re-roofs, siding replacements, and most window and exterior projects in Brighton require a permit pulled through the City of Brighton Building Division, and Colorado generally requires a licensed contractor to pull it. We handle the permit and the required inspections as part of every job, whether you're in Bromley Park, Prairie Center, or an unincorporated Adams County pocket nearby. Since exact requirements and fees can change, confirm the current rules with the City of Brighton before you start.
How does Brighton's weather affect my roof and exterior?
Brighton sits in the South Platte River valley, and that corridor funnels storms and holds moisture, so homes here see a rough mix of spring and summer hail, high plains wind, intense UV, and hard freeze-thaw cycles. That combination cracks and granule-strips shingles, fades and chalks paint, and works loose siding and gutter seams over time. In neighborhoods like The Crossings and East Farms we most often see hail bruising and wind-lifted shingles, which is exactly what we inspect for on a free roof check.
What does a new roof cost in Brighton?
There's no flat number, because price depends on your roof's size, pitch, the number of layers to tear off, and the material you choose, so a full replacement for a typical Brighton home generally lands somewhere in the mid five figures. We install Owens Corning shingles, which carry Owens Corning's standard manufacturer warranty on materials, plus our own workmanship warranty. The honest way to get a real figure is a free on-site estimate where we measure and inspect the actual roof.
Can you help with a hail insurance claim after a Brighton storm?
Yes. Storms coming up the South Platte corridor regularly drop hail on Brighton, and we'll do a free inspection, document the damage with photos, and meet your adjuster on-site so nothing legitimate gets missed. We work with homeowners across Brighton Terrace, Bromley Park, and the nearby Henderson and Commerce City areas on storm claims. Every policy is different, so confirm your coverage, deductible, and deadlines directly with your own insurer.
