Over the past 11 years, Douglas County has recorded 164 hail events (up to 2.5-inch stones), 23 damaging-wind events and 4 tornadoes — exactly the kind of weather that shortens a roof's life and drives sudden repair and replacement calls.

Douglas County has logged 164 hail events in the last 11 years, some with stones up to 2.5 inches. Hail bruises shingles, knocks loose the protective granules, and cracks aging shingles — damage that often doesn't leak right away but shortens roof life.
Many Franktown homes were built around 1989, so roofs here are commonly 37+ years old — near or past the 20–30 year lifespan of asphalt shingles, when curling, granule loss, and leaks set in.
With 23 damaging-wind events recorded across Douglas County, lifted, creased, and torn-off shingles are among the most common roofing calls near Franktown.
Douglas County has seen 4 tornadoes in the past 11 years. Severe storms can strip shingles, puncture decking, and cause leaks that need fast, professional repair.
Cold CO winters mean snow and ice build up at the eaves of Franktown roofs, forming ice dams that force water back under the shingles and stress the structure.
| Season | What it means for your roof |
|---|---|
| Spring | Inspect for winter damage — ice-dam leaks, loose flashing, and shingles cracked by freeze-thaw. |
| Summer | Best window for repairs and full replacements; warm, dry weather lets sealant and shingles bond properly. |
| Fall | Clear gutters and schedule a pre-winter inspection so small issues don't become ice-dam leaks. |
| Winter | Watch for ice dams and interior leaks; emergency repairs and tarping only — full work waits for a thaw. |
