CR Custom Exteriors – Wheat Ridge, CO

Roofing, siding, windows, gutters, and exterior paint built for Wheat Ridge's brick ranches and mid-century homes, from a family-owned Front Range crew.

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

CR Custom Exteriors works on the homes that give Wheat Ridge its character, from the 1950s and '60s brick ranches across Applewood Villages and Barths to the newer two-stories in Applewood Place and Fireside. We handle roofing, siding, windows, gutters, and exterior paint, and we've served Jefferson County and the rest of the Front Range for over a decade. No storm-chasers, no high-pressure pitch, just a licensed and insured crew that shows up and does the work right.

Wheat Ridge sits in a tough spot for exteriors: it's squarely on the Front Range hail and wind belt just west of Denver, and a lot of its housing stock dates to the mid-century carnation-and-orchard era, meaning original roofs, fascia, and single-pane windows that have weathered decades of intense high-altitude sun. Spring and early-summer hail rolling off the foothills regularly batters shingles and dents gutters from Crown Hill over to the 38th Avenue corridor, and older Applewood ranches with wide eaves and mature shade trees need gutters and flashing that actually keep water off aging siding. On top of that, the dry Colorado sun fades and chalks exterior paint fast on these brick-and-frame homes, so south- and west-facing walls take a real beating year after year.

We know mid-century brick ranches

Much of Wheat Ridge, especially Applewood and the Barths, is filled with 1950s and '60s brick ranches and mid-century moderns. We match siding, soffit, and trim to that older housing stock instead of treating every house like new construction.

Built for Front Range hail off the foothills

As an Owens Corning roofing contractor with experienced installers, we install roofs and gutters that hold up to the spring hail and wind that sweep across Jefferson County from the mountains just to the west.

We're family-owned and based up the road in Erie, serving Wheat Ridge and the Front Range for over a decade. You get free in-home estimates and a crew that stands behind its work, not an out-of-state outfit chasing the next storm.

Do I need a permit to replace my roof or siding in Wheat Ridge?
Yes. Wheat Ridge is its own home-rule city, so roofing, siding, and window permits are pulled through the City of Wheat Ridge Building Division, not Jefferson County or Denver. We handle the permit and required inspections as part of the job, but you should always confirm current requirements and fees directly with the city before work begins.
How does Wheat Ridge weather affect my roof and exterior?
Wheat Ridge sits on the Front Range hail and wind belt just west of Denver, so spring and summer hail plus strong downslope winds are the biggest threats to shingles, gutters, and siding. Add intense high-altitude UV and repeated freeze-thaw cycles, and older exteriors on the mid-century homes around Fruitdale and The Barths tend to wear out faster than the same materials would elsewhere. We build for that exposure with impact-rated options and proper flashing and sealing.
Which Wheat Ridge neighborhoods do you serve?
We work throughout Wheat Ridge, including the Applewood Villages and Applewood Place areas, Fireside at Applewood, Fruitdale, and The Barths, along with nearby Arvada, Lakewood, Edgewater, and Golden. If you're inside the city or right along its edges, we can come out and take a look.
I think I have hail damage. Can you help with my insurance claim and give a free estimate?
Yes. Wheat Ridge takes regular hail hits, so we do free, no-pressure inspections and will document any storm damage we find to support your claim. We can meet your insurance adjuster on-site and walk the roof and exterior with them, though the final claim decision and coverage terms are always up to your insurer. Reach out and we'll get you on the schedule for an estimate.
