Thornton, Colorado, sits just north of Denver, where wide-open views of the Front Range meet fast-growing neighborhoods and ever-changing weather. Homeowners here need more than just a roof. What they really need is real protection built to last. Elite Roofing and Solar has worked across Thornton for years, combining insurance expertise and local know-how to deliver quality roofing and solar. When it comes to repairing storm damage or integrating solar panels into a new roof system, our team helps homeowners stay prepared for Colorado’s unpredictable climate while improving energy efficiency and long-term home value.
Founded in 1953, Thornton has grown from farmland into one of the most dynamic suburbs in the Denver metro area. With over 140,000 residents, the city is a mix of established neighborhoods, new developments, and community parks spread across Adams and Weld counties.
Thornton’s homes vary from 1950s ranch-style houses to modern, energy-efficient builds—each with its own roofing demands. The city experiences dramatic temperature swings, intense UV exposure, and recurring hail events, making roof maintenance and quality materials especially important. Homeowners who invest in durable, impact-rated shingles and integrated solar systems not only protect their property but also increase energy efficiency in Colorado’s ever-evolving weather conditions.
From wind-lifted shingles to hail damage, roof issues can arise quickly in Thornton’s changing weather. Elite Roofing and Solar specializes in precise, efficient repairs that restore protection and maintain curb appeal without unnecessary replacements.
When damage is extensive or shingles have reached the end of their life cycle, our team delivers complete roof replacements using high-quality, impact-rated materials. Each installation is built for durability, energy efficiency, and seamless insurance compliance—so homeowners can focus on peace of mind, not paperwork.
Thornton averages more than 250 days of sunshine per year, making it an ideal location for solar energy. Our integrated solar roofing systems combine structural protection with renewable performance. We design, install, and reset panels as part of complete roofing solutions—helping homeowners capture the full benefit of Colorado’s natural energy.
For Thornton’s growing business districts, we provide reliable flat and low-slope roofing systems, including TPO, EPDM, and metal options. These installations are built to handle intense sun, heavy rain, and the wear of year-round temperature shifts.
Thornton’s location on the Front Range means constant exposure to the elements. Hailstorms in late spring and early summer can be severe, so choosing shingles with Class 4 impact ratings is highly recommended for better insurance outcomes and long-term durability.
Additionally, city codes require all roofing contractors to be licensed and insured, ensuring safety and compliance on every project. Many neighborhoods in Thornton also have HOAs that regulate color, shingle type, and overall roof design. Elite Roofing and Solar’s team is familiar with these requirements, helping homeowners streamline both approvals and insurance claims.
As one of Denver’s fastest-growing suburbs, Thornton features a mix of established and new communities. We’re proud to serve neighborhoods like Hunters Glen, Cherrywood Park, Eastlake, Rolling Hills, Signal Creek, Quail Valley, and Amber Creek.
Neighborhoods We Serve
After years of Colorado’s unpredictable weather, this Thornton home needed a durable new roof built for long-term protection. Elite Roofing and Solar replaced 21 squares using Owens Corning Oakridge shingles in Onyx Black (Architectural, non–impact rated). The crew followed strict safety and cleanliness protocols, using protective barriers and daily site cleanup to ensure the property stayed spotless throughout the tear-down and installation process.
This homeowner needed both a roof replacement and solar disconnect/reset. Elite Roofing and Solar installed 35 squares of Malarkey Vista shingles in Weathered Wood (Class 4 impact-resistant), ensuring exceptional performance against hail and temperature swings. The project showcased precise ridge vent installation and a smooth solar panel reset—demonstrating the team’s attention to detail from start to finish.
In another Thornton neighborhood, Elite Roofing and Solar completed a 37-square roof replacement using Owens Corning Duration Storm shingles in Estate Gray (Class 4). This project emphasized underlayment precision and corner detailing—small touches that make a big difference in roof longevity and weatherproofing. The homeowners were impressed by both the quality and efficiency of the installation.

"I used Elite Roofing twice this year—once for an insurance claim after a hailstorm, and again for my flat roof. Cody Stammers met my insurance agent, coordinated everything, and the crew extended my roof life another 10 years. I was very happy with the service and would use them again without question."

Yes. The city requires roofing permits for both replacements and major repairs. Elite Roofing and Solar handles all permitting to ensure compliance with Thornton’s building codes.
Depending on materials and maintenance, most roofs last 20–30 years. However, frequent hailstorms or poor-quality shingles may shorten that lifespan. Regular inspections are key.
Absolutely. Our team specializes in solar D&R (disconnect and reset), ensuring your panels are safely removed, stored, and reinstalled without damage or energy loss.
Class 4 impact-resistant shingles, like Malarkey Vista or CertainTeed NorthGate, perform best against hail and UV exposure. They also often help with insurance discounts.
