CR Custom Exteriors – Mead, CO

Roofing, siding, windows, gutters, and exterior paint built to hold up to Weld County hail, I-25 wind, and high-plains sun.

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

CR Custom Exteriors is a family-owned exterior contractor based just down the road in Erie, and we've worked the Front Range for over a decade. Mead grew fast off the beet farms and the railroad into subdivisions like Highlands Preserve and Lakeside Canyon, and most of that housing went up in the mid-1990s or later, which means a lot of roofs and siding are now hitting the age where Weld County weather catches up to them. We bring Owens Corning roofing and experienced crews to every job, with free in-home estimates and zero storm-chaser pressure.

Mead sits right on the open high plains at about 5,000 feet, straddling Interstate 25 with Highway 66 cutting through as its main east-west arterial, and that exposed position east of the foothills puts it square in the Front Range hail and wind belt. There's little tree cover or terrain between Mead and the storms that roll off the mountains, so roofs and west-facing siding take the full brunt of summer hail, sustained gusts funneling along the I-25 corridor, and relentless high-altitude UV that bakes shingles and fades paint faster than people expect. Because the bulk of Mead's housing stock dates to the 1990s building boom and the newer subdivisions still filling in former farmland, a large share of homes are now reaching the point where original roofing, gutters, and exterior finishes need replacing rather than patching. We build for those exact conditions, not for milder climates.

Built for the I-25 hail and wind belt

Mead's flat, exposed spot on the high plains beside Interstate 25 leaves homes with no shelter from hail and wind sweeping off the Front Range. We spec impact-rated roofing and properly fastened siding and gutters to take that punishment season after season.

We know Mead's 1990s-and-newer housing stock

Most of Mead's homes in subdivisions like Highlands Preserve and Red Barn Meadows were built from the mid-1990s on, so original roofs and finishes are aging out together. We assess what's genuinely worn versus what's still got life, and recommend the minimum fix you actually need.

Local Weld County crews, no storm chasers

We're based in Erie, a short drive down Highway 66, not a out-of-state outfit that shows up after a storm and disappears. You get a licensed, insured Colorado contractor with a 4.9-star rating and 150-plus verified reviews, plus a free in-home estimate with no high-pressure pitch.

Do I need a permit to replace my roof or siding in Mead, CO?
Yes. Most roofing, siding, and window replacements in Mead require a building permit, and for homes inside town limits that permit typically comes from the Town of Mead. We pull the permit and handle inspections as part of the job, but you should always confirm current requirements with the Town of Mead building department before work begins, since rules and fees can change.
How does Mead's weather affect my roof and exterior?
Mead sits out on the open high plains at roughly 5,000 feet with little to break the wind coming off the foothills, so homes here take direct hits from spring and summer hail, strong downslope wind, intense high-altitude UV, and repeated winter freeze-thaw cycles. That combination chalks paint, cracks caulk and sealant, and shortens the life of shingles and gutters. We build roofs and exterior finishes to stand up to that specific mix of hail, wind, and UV exposure.
Which Mead neighborhoods do you serve?
We serve homes throughout Mead, from the older established streets near town to the newer subdivisions on the edges of town. We also work across the surrounding Front Range, including nearby Longmont, Firestone, Berthoud, and Johnstown. If you're anywhere in or around Mead, we can get to you.
A hailstorm damaged my Mead home. Can you help with the insurance claim?
Yes. Hail is a regular fact of life along this stretch of the Front Range, so we're used to walking Mead homeowners through the process. We'll inspect your roof and exterior, document the damage, and meet your adjuster on-site so nothing gets missed. Coverage and deductibles vary, so confirm the details of your specific policy with your insurer, and we'll handle the repair once the claim is approved.
