Strong Contractors serves Fort Collins and Northern Colorado’s commercial, industrial, and institutional facilities with self-performed roofing and building envelope systems. Heavy hail seasons, high winds off the foothills, and rapid freeze-thaw cycling define Fort Collins roofing. Every system we specify is built for Northern Colorado’s conditions.

Fort Collins Climate At A Glance
Campus
University and federal labs
A large university campus and federal research labs mean dense, high-ventilation roofs.
Food and drink
Breweries and food plants
Breweries and food plants add wet, washdown-heavy buildings with exhaust on the roof.
Wind
Cold-season wind
Cold, dry winter wind dries out sealants and works at loose flashing.
Hail
Hail on campus roofs
Hail can crack skylights and dent rooftop unit fins over labs and classrooms.

Full-Scope Capabilities for Fort Collins Facilities
Every service is self-performed by our crews — no subcontractors, no middlemen. Each system is specified for Fort Collins’ altitude, hail, and wind environment.
Ballast Removal in Fort Collins
In Fort Collins, a ballasted roof carries the weight of its stone and, in winter, the snow piled on top of it. Removing the ballast frees structural capacity for a new roof assembly or added insulation. It also uncovers the membrane, so leaks that were hidden under the gravel can be found and fixed.
Learn MoreEmergency Roof Repair in Fort Collins
Spring and summer hail regularly moves off the foothills, and a punctured roof over a lab, classroom, or production line needs attention before the next rain. In Fort Collins, our crews take storm and leak calls, make temporary repairs that protect equipment and stock, and then plan the permanent repair with you.
Learn MoreEPDM Roofing in Fort Collins
Snow can sit on a Fort Collins roof for days in a northern Colorado winter, melting and refreezing at the edges and drains. EPDM is a waterproof rubber membrane that handles that standing moisture and stays pliable in deep cold. It is a long-serving option for school buildings, offices, and research facilities.
Learn MorePolyurethane Coatings in Fort Collins
Polyurethane coatings protect surfaces that take wear, chemicals, and weather, from rooftop walkways to concrete and steel in industrial spaces. In Fort Collins breweries, food plants, and manufacturing buildings, they hold up to washdown, foot traffic, and long winters while staying flexible enough not to crack.
Learn MoreSilicone Roof Coatings in Fort Collins
Silicone coatings seal an existing roof under one continuous, moisture-resistant layer that holds up to UV without chalking. Many Fort Collins retail centers and office parks have single-ply roofs that leak at seams and penetrations but are otherwise sound. A coating addresses those weak points without a tear-off or the waste that comes with one.
Learn MoreTPO Roofing in Fort Collins
Fort Collins pairs a large university campus with research, manufacturing, and medical buildings, many of them under broad low-slope roofs. TPO gives those roofs a reflective, heat-welded membrane that cuts solar heat gain. As a Carlisle, Firestone, GAF, and Tremco certified installer, we can offer full-system manufacturer warranties of up to 30 years.

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
Fort Collins Roofing Questions
Straight answers to what Fort Collins owners and facility managers ask us most.
Let's Discuss Your ProjectHow do you coordinate a roof project on or near a university campus?
Campus work runs around classes, research schedules, and events. We plan crane lifts, material staging, and noisy tear-off for low-occupancy windows, keep fumes away from building air intakes, and set up clear safety zones along pedestrian routes. Summer break is often the best window for larger work, so early planning helps lock it in.
What does a lab roof with fume hood exhausts need during a reroof?
Lab roofs carry fume hood exhausts, air handlers, and dense penetrations that all need flashing and safe work zones. We coordinate shutdowns or temporary exhaust plans with facility engineers before touching anything near a stack. Each penetration is flashed to the manufacturer’s details and photographed, so the as-built record shows exactly what was done.
Can a commercial roof be replaced in winter in Fort Collins?
Often, yes, with the right system. Some adhesives and coatings need minimum temperatures, so cold-weather work leans on mechanically attached or induction-welded single-ply, low-temperature adhesives, and careful daily tie-ins. Weather here changes fast, so we close the roof watertight at the end of each day and plan around forecast wind and snow.
What is an NDL warranty, and does it matter for a Fort Collins facility?
NDL stands for No Dollar Limit. It is a manufacturer warranty that covers repairs to the roof system without capping the cost at the original price, typically for both material and labor. As a certified Carlisle, Firestone, GAF, and Tremco installer, we can offer NDL and full-system warranties up to 30 years, depending on the system and specification.
