CR Custom Exteriors – Lafayette, CO

Lafayette sits in southeastern Boulder County at roughly 5,200 feet, out where the foothills give way to the open plains, which puts it squarely in Colorado's Front Range hail belt. Spring and summer storms tracking off the mountains regularly drop hail and push downslope winds across town, denting gutters, pocking siding, and lifting shingles on exposed elevations. The Coal Creek corridor and the open ground around Waneka Lake and the Indian Peaks golf course leave plenty of homes without much of a windbreak, and the high-altitude sun bakes south- and west-facing roofs and paint faster than the manufacturer's chart would suggest. The city's split housing stock makes the work uneven block to block: the small coal-era cottages and frame homes near Old Town often carry original wood trim, fascia, and aging roofs that need careful attention, while the large 1990s and 2000s subdivisions like Indian Peaks, Centaur Village, and the neighborhoods around Baseline Reservoir are now hitting the age where their first roofs, builder-grade gutters, and sun-faded paint are all wearing out at once.
