Altitude
High-altitude UV
Thinner air means stronger UV on rooftops than at lower elevations.
Wind

Full-Scope Capabilities for Colorado Springs Facilities
Every service is self-performed by our crews — no subcontractors, no middlemen. Each system is specified for Colorado Springs’ altitude, UV exposure, and hail environment.
Ballast Removal in Colorado Springs
Before a ballasted roof in Colorado Springs can be recovered or coated, the stone has to come off so the membrane and deck can be evaluated. Taking off that weight also matters on older structures, where the next system adds load of its own. We plan removal and disposal to fit the site, including base access rules where they apply.
Learn MoreEmergency Roof Repair in Colorado Springs
Hail and strong downslope winds off the Front Range can damage a Colorado Springs roof in a single storm. We send Colorado crews out for hail damage and active leaks, closing up the roof to keep water out of offices, schools, and secure facilities. Then we document what failed so the permanent repair is scoped correctly.
Learn MoreEPDM Roofing in Colorado Springs
Colorado Springs sits in the Front Range hail belt, and roofs here see storm after storm through spring and summer. A thick EPDM membrane absorbs impact better than many roof surfaces and does not turn brittle in winter. It works well on schools, churches, and commercial buildings with large low-slope roofs.
Learn MorePolyurethane Coatings in Colorado Springs
Polyurethane coatings form a tough elastomeric film that protects roofs, decks, and equipment surfaces from abrasion and weather. In Colorado Springs, where high-altitude sun and hard freezes both stress exposed surfaces, they are used on spray foam roofs, rooftop walkways, and structural steel at industrial and defense-related sites.
Learn MoreSilicone Roof Coatings in Colorado Springs
At high altitude, Colorado Springs roofs absorb intense UV that dries out and cracks older membranes. Silicone is one of the most UV-stable roof coatings available, and a high-solids application restores a worn roof under a continuous white surface. It is a practical option for warehouses and offices with a sound deck.
Learn MoreTPO Roofing in Colorado Springs
Colorado Springs is ringed by military installations, and secure sites like these set strict rules for who works on the roof. For TPO work there, our crews are background-checked and badged. We install heat-welded TPO systems and provide as-built documentation for facility and compliance review.

Commercial & Industrial Roofing
Commercial & Industrial Roofing
A commercial roof is a major building asset, and the right solution depends on more than the system that is already in place. Condition, moisture, drainage, insulation, facility operations, budget, warranty requirements, and long-term plans for the property all influence whether repair, restoration, retrofit, or replacement provides the best value.
Strong Contractors brings experience across virtually every major commercial roofing system, along with waterproofing, coatings, spray polyurethane foam, restoration, repair, and specialized services. That breadth allows us to execute projects designed to established plans and specifications or work with owners, engineers, and consultants to evaluate options and determine the most practical path forward for the facility.

Fluid Applied Roof Systems
Fluid Applied Roof Systems
Fluid-applied roofing systems can be an effective way to restore and extend the service life of an existing roof without automatically moving to a full tear-off and replacement. When the existing assembly is a suitable candidate, these systems can address difficult transitions, penetrations, drainage conditions, and irregular roof geometry while creating a seamless, fully adhered protective surface.
Strong Contractors is an SPFA Accredited Contractor with extensive training and experience in spray polyurethane foam (SPF) and fluid-applied roofing systems. These systems depend heavily on proper substrate preparation, application thickness, detailing, environmental conditions, and quality control, which makes contractor experience and technical training especially important to long-term performance.
Industrial Coatings
Industrial Coatings
Industrial coating systems help protect concrete, steel, and other substrates exposed to moisture, corrosion, chemicals, abrasion, and demanding operating conditions. These systems are commonly used on tanks, containment areas, concrete surfaces, structural components, and other specialized areas where durability and long-term protection are critical.
Selecting the right coating depends on the substrate, existing surface condition, service environment, chemical exposure, and expected performance of the finished system. Strong Contractors installs protective coating systems for commercial and industrial facilities, with careful attention to surface preparation, application conditions, product compatibility, and quality control—factors that directly affect adhesion, durability, and long-term performance.
Specialized Services
Specialized Services
For Colorado facilities, Strong Contractors provides emergency roof repair and ongoing maintenance plans to address active issues, reduce recurring problems, and help owners stay ahead of larger roofing failures. Strategic repairs and maintenance can extend the useful life of an existing roof, help bridge the time until a larger capital project is planned, and support manufacturer warranty requirements where ongoing maintenance is required.
Strong Contractors also provides specialized building-envelope services, including air and vapor barrier systems and below-grade waterproofing. Our experience includes large-scale industrial and complex new-construction scopes where sequencing, access, detailing, and coordination are critical.

Local FAQ
Colorado Springs Roofing Questions
Straight answers to what Colorado Springs owners and facility managers ask us most.
Let's Discuss Your ProjectCan you work on military installations around Colorado Springs?
Every crew member is background-checked, and crews are badged for secure work. On an installation, access, escort, and work-hour rules come from the base, so we plan logistics and scheduling with the contracting office before crews arrive. We test welds, photograph details, and provide as-built documentation for compliance and facility review.
Which roof coating holds up best to high-altitude UV?
Silicone handles high UV and occasional ponding well and is common over sound single-ply, metal, and SPF roofs. Acrylic is a cost-effective choice where drainage is good and water does not pond. Either one only works over a dry, sound substrate, so we survey for wet insulation before recommending a coating. Warranty terms depend on coating thickness and the system.
How do you design a roof for the wind that comes off the mountains?
Wind uplift design follows the locally adopted building code, with higher pressures at roof corners and perimeters. On exposed buildings we look closely at fastener patterns, adhered versus mechanically attached membranes, and the edge metal that holds everything down. Most wind failures start at the edge, so that is where we focus first.
Does a hail-dented metal roof in Colorado Springs need full replacement?
Not always. Cosmetic dents on a standing seam or R-panel roof do not always reduce its ability to shed water. Damage to seams, fasteners, and panel laps matters more.
Where the panels are sound, foam or a coating can restore weather protection over them. Where they are not, a recover or replacement may be the better path. We document conditions so you and your adjuster see the same facts.
