Asphalt shingles remain the most popular residential roofing material in CO for good reason. Architectural shingles — also called dimensional or laminated shingles — provide a thicker, textured profile that mimics wood shake or slate. Dinosaur Roofing & Maintenance installs asphalt shingle roofing throughout Dinosaur, from three-tab to premium designer shingles.
We install every shingle roof to manufacturer specifications. That means 4-6 nails per shingle in the designated nailing zone, proper offset between courses, starter strips along the eave, and ridge cap shingles at every hip and ridge. When the manufacturer inspector shows up, your roof passes.
Our Shingle Roofing Process
Shingle Selection
Our estimator examines your current roofline, checks the condition of the underlayment and flashing, and presents shingle options with honest pricing. GAF, Owens Corning, CertainTeed — you pick.
Old Roof Removal
Full tear-off to the deck. Old shingles, deteriorated felt, and corroded flashing removed and hauled to the dumpster. Deck inspection catches hidden damage — rotted sheathing, water-stained OSB, nail pops — before it's buried under new shingles.
Ice Shield & Drip Edge
Ice-and-water shield bonded at valleys and eave lines. Synthetic underlayment over the full deck. New aluminum drip edge at every eave and rake. All flashing — chimney, pipe, vent, wall — sealed and secured before a single shingle goes down.
Shingle Installation
Asphalt shingles laid from eave to ridge with precise offset between courses. Every shingle fastened in the manufacturer's nailing zone — too high or too low voids the warranty. Ridge cap and hip shingles complete the system with ridge vents for balanced attic ventilation.
