roof replacement in Lakewood done right the first time
A full roof replacement in Lakewood is a one-day-to-three-day project when it's run right. Better Builders tears off to the deck, inspects and replaces damaged sheathing, and rebuilds the roof as a complete system — underlayment, ice barrier, starter, shingles, hip and ridge, and balanced ventilation — using Malarkey and CertainTeed materials.
Lakewood's west-side exposure catches wind coming off the foothills as well as hail, so uplift at ridges, rakes, and eaves is a common find on aging three-tab roofs.

Lakewood roofing questions
How much does a roof replacement cost in Lakewood?
Most Lakewood homes land in a range driven by square footage, pitch, layers, and shingle line. We give a fixed written price after measuring the roof — no ballpark-then-upcharge. If it's an insurance claim, your out-of-pocket is generally just your deductible.
How long does the job take?
Most residential roofs are torn off and reinstalled in one to two days, with the permit inspection following shortly after. Steep or complex roofs can run a third day.
Which shingles do you install?
Primarily Malarkey (rubberized NEX asphalt, Class 4 impact rating) and CertainTeed Landmark (America's best-selling architectural shingle). Both are installed as complete systems so the warranty holds.
