Anderson Builders has been a licensed and insured roofing contractor in Littleton since 2009. We are local and have been based in the Littleton area helping our neighbors with new roof installation & expert roof repairs. Over the years and have seen roofs damaged and destroyed by powerful hail storms, extreme summer heat, tornados, harsh winters and intense wind storms – all of which blast Littleton, Highlands Ranch and the entire Denver metro area year after year.
The city of Littleton is a beautiful place with fun, unique small town vibes and has over 45,000 homes. It has the history of an established city and overall tends to have more older homes than some of the newer areas.
Roofing Inspections for in Older Roofs
When roofing older homes you want to verify a number of things when you are completing a re-roof. First of all, the sheeting or plywood base layer of the home’s roofs. When doing the tear off of an old roof, this must be carefully checked for rotting and weakening areas as well as new code upgrades required.
This month alone we had multiple Littleton homes’ with roofs that had their plywood base layer (decking) was the older 1 inch by 8 inch planning that has gaps between the boards. This is too thin and too far apart to meet current code requirements. Anderson Builders has an employee on site to check for and verify the plywood layer is safe and if not will require the re-decking of the roof.
Other roofs we have seen recently had very old plywood that was delaminated and no longer could be safely used to hold the shingles securely. This problem could also require a re-deck to meet current Littleton or county codes. Most insurance policies cover code upgrades but require documentation of pictures of the damage or older plywood.
A quality and experienced roofing contractor like Anderson Builders knows to be on site to check for this potential situation during the tear off process of a roof. Most Littleton homes built prior to 1990’s with original decking had the old plywood decking. We know how to supplement this additional cost with your insurance company so the home owner should not have to pay.
In the city of Littleton, there are different building codes, inspections and permit processes than there are in surrounding areas. For example, in Littleton a contractor must schedule a mid-roof inspection as well as a final roof inspection. If an inexperienced contractor doesn’t schedule a mid-roof inspection and instead only has a final inspection, the city will require that shingles be removed so the inspector can verify underlayment, plywood etc… This is an expensive and time intensive mistake.
Many homes with mailing addresses in Littleton are technically in Littleton, but they are not within city limits. Meaning that they fall under the jurisdiction of Jefferson County for roofing permits, and inspections. It is important to use a local roofing contractor who knows the various regulations and inspection procedures for each area.
Anderson Builders is very seasoned in all of the local building permit and roof inspection regulations within the Littleton, and Jefferson County area.
In fact, we have had county inspectors refer our business to homeowners that call the county office to look for a high-quality roofing contractor.
