What Your Roof Warranty Covers: Manufacturer vs. Workmanship
Manufacturer vs. workmanship roof warranties for Colorado homeowners: what each covers, what they usually exclude, and how to keep coverage in place.
We inspect your roof for free, document what we find and give you a written scope. Then we plan the work around your tenants and operations, and we keep your facility team in the loop through the final walkthrough.
We repair, restore and replace flat and low-slope roofs, including TPO roofing, EPDM roofing and spray foam and roof coatings. Call (303) 808-0687 for a free commercial roof inspection.
Commercial roof problems get expensive fast. Water intrusion damages inventory, equipment, and finishes. We inspect your roof, document everything, and give you a clear plan.
If any of these sound familiar, call (303) 808-0687. We inspect commercial roofs for free.
Most flat roof bids start by comparing membranes. We start one layer down. On a TPO or EPDM roof, the condition of the insulation and deck under the membrane usually decides whether the answer is a repair, a restoration, a re-cover or a full tear-off.
For TPO and EPDM replacements we install GenFlex and Elevate systems, and we are certified with both. Qualifying systems from either can carry a 20-year NDL manufacturer warranty, which requires a scheduled maintenance program to stay in force. Compare the membranes on our TPO roof repair and replacement page and our EPDM roof repair and replacement page.
Clear drains and scuppers so meltwater has somewhere to go, and have open seams and rooftop unit flashing sealed. If the roof leaked this year, ask us to check the insulation before winter, because water trapped in insulation can keep spreading, and wet insulation adds weight to the roof.
Call 303.808.0687 and we will show you what is under your membrane before we talk options.
Call (303) 808-0687 or submit the form. We schedule a full inspection of your commercial roof at no charge.
Step 1
We photograph the entire roof surface, document problem areas, measure the square footage, and present your options: repair, restore, or replace.
Step 2
We put the recommended work in a written scope with photos, walk you through it line by line, and set a schedule that fits your operations.
Step 3
We keep you informed while our crew works around your operations. We clean up, run a magnetic nail sweep, pass inspection and walk you through the finished job.
Step 4
We line up roof access, staging and crew hours with your building staff before work starts.
We keep you informed as the work moves along and keep a photo log of the roof.
At completion we clean up and run a magnetic nail sweep around the building.
We walk the finished roof with you before we call it done.
Your workmanship warranty terms are written into your contract, and we register the manufacturer warranty.
Photo-Documented Inspections
We photograph and record your roof's condition so owners, managers and boards can see exactly what we found.

Site Coordination
We work directly with your facility or property manager on access and timing.
After the Job
We offer roof maintenance programs and can set up a regular inspection schedule for your roof.
Single-ply membrane with heat-welded seams for a watertight bond. Energy-efficient white surface reflects UV and reduces cooling costs. A common choice for commercial flat roofs in Colorado because of its balance of cost and performance. Available in 45, 60, and 80 mil thicknesses. Best for retail, office, and warehouse buildings where energy efficiency and budget matter.
Synthetic rubber membrane known for flexibility in extreme temperature swings. EPDM handles Colorado's freeze-thaw cycles well. Available in black and white. Seams are adhered or mechanically fastened. A cost-effective option for buildings that need reliable waterproofing without the higher price point of PVC.
Chemical-resistant single-ply membrane with hot-air-welded seams. PVC is the go-to for restaurants, commercial kitchens, and any building where grease, oil, or chemical exhaust hits the roof surface. Stronger chemical resistance than TPO and a longer track record in harsh environments. Higher material cost, but the right choice when chemical exposure is a factor.
Multi-layer asphalt membrane applied in sheets with torch, cold adhesive, or self-adhesive methods. Modified bitumen provides good puncture resistance for roofs with heavy foot traffic or rooftop equipment. Common on older Denver commercial buildings and a reliable choice for re-covering a single existing built-up roof when the insulation is dry and the deck is sound.
Standing seam and exposed fastener metal systems for commercial buildings. Metal handles snow load and UV exposure well, with low maintenance. Popular for industrial buildings, warehouses, and retail locations where aesthetics and durability both matter.
Silicone or acrylic coatings add waterproofing, UV protection, and reflectivity over an existing roof that is aging but still sound, and reduce landfill waste from tear-off material.
Blue Peaks Roofing is a Gaco-certified silicone roof coating installer, so qualifying projects can carry a Gaco manufacturer warranty of 10, 15, or 20 years. Gaco silicone is applied over many existing flat and low-slope roofs, which lets many building owners skip a full tear-off. Warranty length, required coating thickness, and eligibility are set by Gaco and depend on your roof's condition, so we start with a roof inspection and confirm which options fit your building.
Call (303) 808-0687 to discuss which system fits your building.
Commercial roofing costs depend on the roof size, system type, number of penetrations, and condition of the existing deck. TPO and EPDM single-ply systems are generally the most affordable per square foot. PVC and metal cost more and fit specific needs. We provide a free on-site inspection and detailed written estimate before any work begins.
Timeline depends on the size of the roof and the system being installed. A small retail building may take three to five days. A large warehouse or multi-unit complex can take two to four weeks. We give you a specific schedule before starting and coordinate around your business operations to minimize disruption.
Manufacturer warranties vary by system and product. We walk you through all warranty terms before you sign, and your contract spells out exactly what is covered.
Yes. Blue Peaks pulls all required permits and meets inspectors on site. The Denver south metro spans Arapahoe County, Douglas County, and Jefferson County, each with different commercial building codes and inspection processes. We know which jurisdiction your property falls under and handle the paperwork accordingly.
Yes. Blue Peaks Roofing is licensed and BBB A+ accredited since 2022, and we carry $2M in general liability coverage and full workers' compensation. We bring proof of insurance to every commercial job site.
TPO is a common choice for flat roofs in Colorado because of its energy efficiency and competitive cost. PVC is better for restaurants and buildings exposed to grease or chemicals. EPDM is a reliable budget option with a long track record. Metal is a good fit for sloped commercial roofs. We recommend based on your building's use, budget, and exposure.
Yes. We plan every commercial project to minimize disruption. That includes phased installation, off-hours scheduling when needed, contained staging areas and cleanup at completion. We keep you informed throughout, and your business keeps running. We communicate the schedule in advance and adjust if your operations require flexibility.
We do both. Many flat roof issues, like seam separations, flashing failures, or localized membrane damage, can be repaired without a full replacement. If the existing system is still in good condition, a targeted repair or coating restoration may be a practical alternative to replacement. We inspect and give you an honest recommendation.
Yes. We regularly work with HOA boards and property managers on multi-unit roofing projects. We provide detailed proposals for board review, attend HOA board meetings, and document roof conditions across the community.

Manufacturer vs. workmanship roof warranties for Colorado homeowners: what each covers, what they usually exclude, and how to keep coverage in place.
By Andrew Ubben, Owner, Blue Peaks Roofing | Last updated September 29, 2026 Your roofing permit comes from whoever governs the property, not the city printed on your mail. A Littleton or “Denver 802xx” address can sit inside an incorporated city like Arvada, Lakewood, or Littleton itself, or in unincorporated Jefferson, Arapahoe, or Douglas County. […]
Short answer: for most Colorado homes, an impact-resistant asphalt shingle roof is the better value, and standing seam metal is a long-term option. Metal sheds snow and is built for a long service life, but it costs more up front. In hail country, impact resistance, budget and how long you plan to stay matter more […]
