Because we care more, build better, and do things the right way — every single time. Faraday is built differently: we combine the skill of a master roofer, the precision of an engineer, and the integrity of a family-owned business. We’re local, licensed, and invested in this community. We live here, we work here, and we protect homes here. We’re not chasing insurance money — we’re building a reputation. Every roof we install represents who we are: honest, detail-oriented, an

A Faraday -installed roof is built to last 30–50 years , depending on the system you select. Our preferred Class 4 impact-resistant shingles are rated to withstand hail, wind, and temperature extremes — backed by industry-leading manufacturer warranties. Because Faraday installs every roof to precise manufacturer specs, your warranty remains 100% valid. That means you’re covered for both materials and labor — giving you decades of confidence. But longevity isn’t just about s

We take cleanup as seriously as the roofing itself. Every Faraday project includes full property protection and cleanup protocols  that exceed industry standards. Before installation begins, we cover landscaping, AC units, decks, and driveways with tarps. After completion, our crew performs multiple sweeps with industrial magnetic rollers — often collecting hundreds of nails the average roofer would miss. Then, our project manager walks the property with you personally to en

That’s where having Faraday pays off big. When we tear off your old roof, we inspect the decking, flashing, and ventilation. If we uncover additional issues — such as rotten decking, code-required upgrades, or hidden damage — we document it immediately and handle it with your insurance company. This process is called supplementing , and it’s one of Faraday’s strongest skill sets. We submit photos, code references, and cost adjustments directly to your adjuster so that the a

Most residential roofs are completed in just 1–2 days  — but the Faraday difference is that speed never comes at the cost of quality. We start by prepping your property with full protection: tarps, coverings, and magnetic nail barriers. Materials are delivered only when ready to install — no mess, no clutter. Once we begin, your project manager stays on-site throughout the build to coordinate crew timing, material flow, and cleanup. We don’t leave your roof exposed overnight

We only install materials we’d trust on our own homes — and that’s why Faraday exclusively uses premium, impact-resistant, Class 4 roofing systems  from brands like Owens Corning. Colorado’s weather demands durability. So our roofs are built for wind, hail, and heat — combining upgraded underlayments, advanced ventilation, and high-strength fasteners that exceed code. We also offer designer and architectural shingle options for homeowners who want a modern, high-end look. Fa

This is where Faraday truly shines. Most roofing contractors just “do the roof.” Faraday manages your entire insurance claim  from start to finish — inspection, documentation, supplementing, and depreciation recovery. We use the same estimating software as the insurance company (Xactimate), ensuring every line item matches their format. Our in-house claims specialists handle all supplements — ventilation upgrades, code-required materials, and flashing — that adjusters often

At Faraday , quality isn’t a buzzword — it’s our identity. Every Faraday roof is installed by experienced, certified crews  who specialize in residential roofing. We don’t subcontract unknown labor; our teams are vetted, insured, and trained to follow exact manufacturer guidelines for every shingle, nail, and vent. We use industry-best materials — impact-resistant shingles, proper starter and ridge systems, synthetic underlayment, ice-and-water shield, and modern ventilation

Because Faraday isn’t just another roofing company — we’re a full-service storm restoration team built on trust, craftsmanship, and integrity. When hail hits, every roofer in the state suddenly knocks on doors. But Faraday stands apart. We’re local to Colorado, fully licensed, and rooted in this community. Our crews have been with us for years, not weeks. We don’t chase storms — we serve neighbors. Faraday uses only premium Class 4 shingles, certified installers, and top-tie

While every claim varies, most projects with Faraday move from inspection to completion within 3–6 weeks , depending on carrier response times and weather conditions. Here’s our proven timeline: Day 1–3:  Inspection, damage documentation, and claim filing (if needed) Week 1–2:  Adjuster meeting and estimate review Week 2–4:  Supplements, approvals, and material selections Week 4–6:  Project completion and depreciation release What makes Faraday faster than most is our full

Not at all — that’s a common misconception. You have the legal right to choose any  licensed contractor you trust. Insurance “preferred vendors” often work at discounted rates or limited scopes, which can lead to shortcuts or lower-quality materials. Faraday is completely independent — we work for you , not the carrier. That means our only priority is restoring your home to full condition, not saving the insurance company money. We coordinate everything with your adjuster pr

Most adjusters write what’s called an initial scope of loss  — it’s just a baseline. They often don’t include code upgrades, material upgrades, detached structures, paint touch-ups, or trades beyond the main damage. That’s why Faraday’s supplement team exists. We review every line, cross-check it with local building code, and identify underpaid or missing items. Then we professionally submit a supplement with supporting documentation. In most cases, our supplements increase

Homeowners often confuse these two, but they’re completely different.Your deductible  is your out-of-pocket portion — the amount you’re required to pay toward the claim per your insurance policy. It’s non-negotiable and fixed. Depreciation , on the other hand, is money withheld by the insurance company temporarily until the work is completed. Once Faraday finishes the job and submits proof, that money comes back to you as part of your recoverable depreciation check. Here’s t

That’s standard procedure — and it’s one more thing Faraday takes care of for you. Once the project is complete, your carrier requires a final invoice  to verify the total cost matches the approved claim. It’s a formality, but it needs to be done precisely to release your depreciation payment. We prepare and submit that invoice on your behalf, formatted exactly the way carriers expect it. We include all job details, completion photos, and any approved supplements so there’s

A supplement  is a formal request to your insurance company to add missing or underpaid items to your claim. It’s one of the most important — and most misunderstood — parts of the process. After the adjuster’s initial estimate, Faraday carefully reviews the scope and compares it to our own inspection and code requirements. If something’s missing — like flashing, underlayment, permit fees, or ventilation — we prepare a supplement backed by photos, code citations, and pricing

This happens all the time — and it’s almost never because they’re right. Sometimes adjusters approve only one slope of the roof or one side of the house, citing “spot damage” or “partial repair.” But in reality, matching laws and manufacturer requirements often make full replacement necessary. Faraday’s experts know these codes and requirements inside and out. We don’t just accept partial approvals — we fight them with code documentation, manufacturer letters, and photograph

Recoverable depreciation is the portion of your claim withheld by your insurance company until the job is finished — usually 20–40% of your total claim amount. It’s essentially the carrier’s way of ensuring the work actually gets completed. Once the project is done and documented, that money is yours. Here’s where Faraday makes it effortless: as soon as your project is completed, our office sends your carrier all required proof-of-completion documents — final invoices, photo

These two terms confuse nearly every homeowner — but understanding them is key to knowing how much you’ll actually receive. ACV (Actual Cash Value)  is the depreciated value of your damaged property — basically what it’s worth today, not what it costs to replace. RCV (Replacement Cost Value)  is the full amount needed to rebuild or replace the damaged area with new materials. When your claim is first approved, your carrier usually pays you the ACV amount — a partial payment.

When your insurance adjuster sends the estimate, it’s filled with line items, abbreviations, and numbers that look like another language. That’s because carriers use an estimating system called Xactimate , which breaks every piece of work into coded line items — materials, labor, taxes, overhead, and depreciation. Faraday’s claims specialists are trained in Xactimate and read it every day. We’ll sit down with you, walk line-by-line through your scope, and explain exactly wha

Great question — and one that causes a lot of confusion. The truth is: most hail claims in Colorado do not raise your individual rates.  That’s because hail is considered an “Act of God”  — a weather-related, non-negligent event. Insurance companies typically spread the risk across entire ZIP codes, not individual homeowners. Where Faraday makes the difference is in helping you handle the claim strategically and correctly.  If you file prematurely, or without clear evidence
