Request a free estimate
Kinetic Roof Works is a full-service residential roofing contractor based in Durango, Colorado. We install, repair, and replace roofs for homeowners throughout La Plata County and the Four Corners region, using materials and techniques selected specifically for Southwest Colorado’s demanding climate: heavy snow loads, intense high-altitude UV exposure, and wide temperature swings that test every component of your roofing system.

We are an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, which means we install their premium shingle lines with enhanced manufacturer warranties most roofers can’t offer. We also operate a complete in-house metal shop for custom standing seam and metal shingle installations. Every project is handled by our own trained crews, not subcontractors, so you work with the same team from estimate through final inspection.

Kinetic Roof Works handles full roof replacements, storm damage repairs, pre-sale inspections, and new gutter installations with the same professional-grade workmanship we bring to our commercial projects.

Residential Roof Repairs & Emergency Leak Service

Roof damage doesn’t improve with time. A few missing shingles after a storm can quickly become water intrusion in your attic, damaged insulation, and mold growth in your ceilings and walls. Kinetic Roof Works provides residential roof repair service throughout the Durango area with a dedicated repair technician who can respond quickly and work on any roof type. Our crews are equipped to access and work on properties with challenging terrain, steep pitches, and hillside lots that are common throughout Southwest Colorado’s mountain communities.

Common Residential Roof Repairs
● Missing, cracked, or wind-lifted shingles
● Storm and hail damage assessment and repair
● Flashing failures around chimneys, skylights, and vent pipes
● Roof valley leaks and ice dam damage
● Metal panel re-seaming and fastener replacement
● Emergency tarping for severe damage

How We Handle Repairs
When you call us with a roof issue, we schedule a repair visit promptly. Our technician inspects the roof, identifies the source of the problem, and provides a clear explanation of what needs to be fixed and what it will cost before any work starts. We don’t upsell unnecessary replacements. If a repair will solve the problem, that’s what we recommend. If the damage is extensive enough that repair costs are approaching the value of a replacement, we’ll tell you that honestly and help you weigh your options.

Roof Inspections
Not sure about the condition of your roof? We offer detailed roof inspections for homeowners who want to assess their roof’s remaining life, identify potential problem areas, or prepare a home for sale. A professional inspection can catch small issues before they become expensive repairs and gives you documentation of your roof’s current condition.

Asphalt Shingle Roofing: Owens Corning Preferred Contractor

Asphalt shingles remain the most popular residential roofing material in the U.S. for good reason. They offer proven weather protection, a wide range of color and style options, and a strong balance of performance and value. At Kinetic Roof Works, we install Owens Corning architectural shingles, and our status as a Preferred Contractor means your roof comes with warranty coverage that goes beyond what standard installations receive.
Owens Corning Shingle Lines We Install

Duration Series

Owens Corning’s flagship architectural shingle, engineered with SureNail Technology for superior wind resistance up to 130 MPH. Duration shingles are one of the most specified residential roofing products in the country and are available in a wide selection of colors designed to complement Colorado’s architectural styles.

Oakridge Series

A popular architectural shingle that provides the dimensional look of a wood shake at a more accessible price point. Oakridge shingles offer solid performance and come in a range of colors that pair well with mountain and southwestern home designs.

Duration STORM

An impact-resistant upgrade to the standard Duration line, designed for regions with hail exposure. Given Durango’s seasonal hail risk, this option is worth discussing with homeowners who want added protection or potential insurance premium discounts.
What Makes an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor Different?
Not every roofing company can offer the same warranty terms. As an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, Kinetic Roof Works is listed on the Owens Corning website and can offer their enhanced warranty packages, including options that cover both materials and workmanship. Standard installations from non-preferred contractors typically only include a material warranty. This distinction gives you an additional layer of protection and accountability.
New Roof Installation Process
A roof replacement is a significant investment, and we treat it that way. Our process starts with a thorough inspection of your existing roof and decking to identify any damage or deterioration that needs to be addressed before new materials go on. We provide a written estimate that details materials, labor, any necessary deck repairs, and a projected timeline. During installation, our crew handles full tear-off, decking inspection and repair, ice and water shield application in valleys and at eaves, underlayment, and shingle installation to Owens Corning specifications. We clean up the job site daily and conduct a final walkthrough with you when the project is complete.

Residential Metal Roofing & Custom Fabrication

Metal roofing is one of the best long-term investments a homeowner in Southwest Colorado can make. A properly installed metal roof can last 50 years or more, handles heavy snow loads without issue, reflects solar heat, and requires very little maintenance compared to other roofing materials. For homeowners who plan to stay in their home long-term or want to maximize resale value, metal is a strong option.

Kinetic Roof Works installs residential metal roofing and siding with a capability that sets us apart from most contractors in the region: a complete in-house metal fabrication shop. We custom-bend panels, trim, flashing, and ridge caps at our facility or on-site, which eliminates the lead times and limitations that come with ordering pre-fabricated materials from a third party.

Standing Seam Metal Roofing

The premium choice for residential metal roofing. Standing seam panels feature raised, interlocking seams with concealed fasteners, creating a clean look and eliminating exposed screw holes where leaks can develop over time. Standing seam is particularly well-suited to Colorado homes with steeper roof pitches and heavy snow loads.

Metal Shingles

For homeowners who want the longevity and performance of metal with a more traditional shingle appearance. Metal shingles mimic the look of architectural asphalt shingles or wood shakes while delivering the durability and lifespan that only metal provides.

Metal Siding and Wall Panels

We install architectural metal siding for accent walls, gable ends, and full exterior applications. Our metal shop allows us to match custom colors and profiles to fit your home’s design.
Metal Roof vs. Shingles
One of the most common questions we hear is whether a metal roof is worth the higher upfront cost compared to asphalt shingles. The short answer is that metal costs more to install but lasts two to three times longer, requires less maintenance, and often qualifies for insurance discounts due to its impact and fire resistance. Over the life of the roof, metal frequently ends up costing less than shingles when you factor in the avoided cost of one or two full shingle replacements. We’re happy to walk you through both options with specific pricing for your home so you can make an informed decision.

Seamless Gutter Installation for Durango Homes

Your gutters play a critical role in protecting your home’s roof, foundation, siding, and landscaping from water damage. When gutters fail, the problems show up fast: eroded landscaping, stained siding, flooded basements, and ice dams that trap water under your roofing material. Kinetic Roof Works installs seamless gutter systems that eliminate the most common failure points found in standard sectional gutters.

How Seamless Gutters Work

We manufacture seamless 5-inch K-style gutters on-site using our portable gutter machine. Each gutter run is formed as a single continuous piece of material, custom-cut to the exact length of your roofline. This means no seams, no splice joints, and no weak points where leaks develop and debris collects. The result is a gutter system that performs better, looks cleaner, and requires significantly less maintenance than sectional alternatives.

Custom Box Gutters

For homes with unique architectural profiles, oversized rooflines, or specific aesthetic requirements, we custom-fabricate box gutters in our metal shop to any size or width. Box gutters are a practical solution for historic homes, modern builds with flat or low-slope sections, and any property where standard K-style profiles aren’t the right fit.

Gutter Service Options

Gutter installation is available as part of a roofing project or as a standalone service. If you’re getting a new roof, adding seamless gutters at the same time is the most cost-effective approach, since our crew is already on-site and can integrate the gutter system with your new roofing materials. We also install gutters independently for homeowners who need to replace aging or damaged gutter systems without a full reroofing project.

Frequently Asked Questions About Residential Roofing

How much does a new roof cost in Durango?

Residential roof replacement costs in the Durango area depend on several factors: the size and pitch of your roof, the material you choose (shingles vs. metal), the condition of your existing decking, and accessibility. We provide free, itemized estimates so you can see exactly what you’re paying for. As a general guide, asphalt shingle roofs are the most affordable option, while standing seam metal roofs carry a higher upfront cost but last significantly longer.

How long does a shingle roof last?

A quality architectural shingle roof, properly installed, typically lasts 20 to 25 years in Colorado’s climate. Factors that affect lifespan include the shingle product used, ventilation, installation quality, and exposure to UV and severe weather. Owens Corning Duration shingles are engineered for durability, and our Preferred Contractor status means your installation meets the standards required for their best warranty coverage.

How long does a metal roof last?

Metal roofing systems commonly last 30- 50 years or more with minimal maintenance. Standing seam metal roofs with concealed fasteners tend to have the longest lifespan because there are no exposed penetration points where water can enter. In Durango’s climate, metal handles heavy snow, UV exposure, and temperature swings better than most other residential roofing materials.

Is a metal roof better than shingles?

Both materials have their strengths, and the right choice depends on your budget, how long you plan to stay in your home, and your aesthetic preferences. Metal costs more upfront but lasts two to three times longer, requires less maintenance, and can lower insurance premiums. Shingles have a lower initial cost, offer a traditional appearance, and perform well when installed with quality products like Owens Corning Duration. We’re happy to provide estimates for both options so you can compare total cost of ownership.

Does a new roof increase home value?

Yes. A new roof is consistently ranked among the top home improvement projects for return on investment. Industry data generally indicate a 60%-70% recovery of the project cost at resale, though in competitive housing markets, the return can be higher. Beyond the dollar figure, a new roof removes a major objection for buyers and can speed up the sale process.

How long does a roof replacement take?

Most residential roof replacements in the Durango area take about a week, depending on the size of the roof, the material being installed, weather conditions, and the extent of any deck repairs needed. Metal roof installations typically take longer than shingle projects due to the precision required in panel fitting and fastening. We provide a projected timeline with every estimate so you know what to expect.

Does homeowners insurance cover roof replacement?

Homeowners insurance typically covers roof damage caused by specific events like hail, wind, or fallen trees, subject to your policy’s terms and deductible. It usually does not cover replacement due to normal wear and aging. If you believe you have storm damage, we recommend filing a claim with your insurance company and scheduling an inspection with us. We can document the damage and provide the information your adjuster will need to process the claim.

How much does a roof inspection cost?

Roof inspection costs vary depending on the size and accessibility of your roof. We offer inspections for homeowners who want to understand their roof’s current condition, plan ahead for maintenance or replacement, or need documentation for a real estate transaction. If it’s for a report we usually charge $150. Contact us for current inspection pricing.

What is an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor?

Owens Corning’s Preferred Contractor program recognizes roofing companies that meet their standards for professionalism, installation quality, and customer service. Preferred Contractors are listed on the Owens Corning website and can offer enhanced warranty packages that cover both materials and workmanship. Standard contractors can only offer the basic material warranty. This designation provides homeowners with an extra level of confidence and protection.
