Security-Widefield and El Paso County experience significant hail activity every year. Hail damage is not always visible from the ground — but it weakens shingles, accelerates granule loss, and shortens roof life. We connect you with local contractors who provide thorough hail damage assessments and repairs.

Security-Widefield is an unincorporated community directly south of Colorado Springs, built up largely from the 1960s through the 1980s as affordable housing for Fort Carson personnel, whose main gate sits just to the west. The neighborhood's ranch-style homes and low-slope roofs are now decades old in many cases, putting a meaningful share of the local housing stock past the typical service life of a standard three-tab or architectural asphalt shingle roof even before storm damage is factored in. The area's flat, open terrain offers little natural windbreak, so hail and wind events that might be partially blocked by tree cover or terrain elsewhere in the county tend to hit Security-Widefield's rooftops with less obstruction. A large share of the area's homeowners are current or former military, often working on a relocation timeline that leaves little room for a slow repair process, and many are renting out homes to incoming families rather than living in them, which changes how quickly roof problems get noticed and reported. Age of roofing stock plus flat, exposed terrain makes this one of the more consistently active repair areas in southern El Paso County.

How Hail Damages Colorado Roofs

Hail impact leaves distinctive bruising on asphalt shingles — soft spots where the fiberglass mat is broken beneath the granule surface. Larger hailstones puncture shingles outright. Even when damage looks minor, repeated hail seasons compound the problem. In Pikes Peak Region, roofs typically take multiple hail hits over their lifetime.
