How is Homefix different from other Colorado Springs roofing companies?

• Honesty and Integrity. The roofing industry is full of slick salesmen and con artists. We pride ourselves on turning away business if a roof is in good shape. We’ll tell it like it is in order to give you peace of mind and save you money.
• Better Communication. We communicate with our customers throughout the entire process, letting them know what to expect and when to expect it.
• Wide Range of Services. We’re not just a roofing company. We are experts in all residential remodeling, repair, and roofing services.

Will my insurance company cover the cost of my new roof?

If you were to call your insurance company, file a claim, and have an insurance adjuster come out to inspect the roof, they would do their very best to find a reason not to cover it. Occasionally, they are correct – your roof might be in great shape and not need to be replaced. But most of the time, we can “open their eyes” and help them see the damage and then negotiate on your behalf in order to get them to cover the cost of the new roof.

The bottom line is: Call us first. We’ll provide a free inspection so that you can be sure to get an honest assessment and increase your chances of not having to pay for a roof out of your own pocket.

Will my insurance company cover other damage on my property?

Yes! We will inspect the rest of your property to see if there is any other damage. If we find some, we’ll put that together in the claim for you. Most of the time, we can get the insurance company to cover fences, siding, decks, drywall, and other things that have been damaged from extreme weather.

Does Homefix only do residential roofing?

No! Don’t let our name fool you. We can handle commercial roofs as well. Nearly any type of building or complex that needs to keep dry, we can handle it.

Want to finish your basement? Our team has been finishing basements for over 30 years. We take pride in helping our clients’ dreams become realities.

If you’re looking to add value to your home, finishing your basement should be one of your top three priorities. It literally adds finished square footage, which realtors and home buyers love! In Colorado Springs, the average resale value that you gain by finishing your basement is over 75%, which is the second highest yielding remodeling project according to CostvsValue.com in this report.

Griff and his team finish jobs well and see the details to complete each job correctly. I appreciate that they return phone calls in a timely manner and clean up after their work. We highly recommend Homefix to anyone!

7 basement ideas and reasons to get your basement finished:

1. Improve your resale value
2. Add a game room
3. Add a guest room, or two
4. Give the kids a place to hang
5. Make it a man-cave
6. Enjoy your own private movie theater
7. Better, more organized storage

What value does Homefix provide as a contractor? 

One of the biggest pieces of value that we provide our clients is the speed at which we work. It doesn’t matter who the contractor is, a construction project always brings a bit of stress with it. The shorter we can make the process, the better it is for everyone. We do this by using our skilled team of internal craftsmen as well as proven reliable subcontractors that we have been working with for years.

We are licensed with Pikes Regional Building Department and we understand the building codes required to pass inspection on a basement finishing Colorado Springs project. Be careful of contractors who aren’t licensed and want you to pull the permit for them. This is not necessarily a bad scenario in itself, but if they don’t know what they’re doing, the liability is on you as the home owner – and this can lead to costly reconstruction. We, on the other hand, carry that burden for you.

If you’re thinking about a finishing your basement in Colorado Springs, start and end with Homefix.

What constitutes a quality painting job? There’s a difference between knowing how to paint and knowing how to paint well. The key to every great painting project lies in the prep work. Some surfaces need to be cleaned, primed and possibly even sanded before hand. If it’s not done correctly, the paint could end up pealing off in less than a year – especially exterior painting in Colorado Springs because of the hot sun.

What does it mean to “cut in”? Cutting in is term used to describe the act of painting with a brush next to other surfaces of a different color – like next to door trim, baseboards, or ceilings. It’s very easy to mess this up and not achieve a clean straight line. When you cut-in lines are messed up, everyone one can tell that something just doesn’t feel right about the room. Proper paint preparation is key to a quality paint job.

We have the expertise needed to make sure your house painting Colorado Springs project is done right the first time – which will ultimately save you money in the long run.

What is orange-peel texture? This is the kind of drywall texture that literally looks like the peel of an orange. It’s made up of thousands of small bumps. For small drywall repair jobs, we can use a repair kit, but for larger areas we use a compressor and a hopper gun to apply this kind of texture.

What is knockdown texture? This kind of texture is best described as a thick orange-peel texture that has been flattened. It’s like chopping the tops of the mountains off. Most newer homes in Colorado Springs have knockdown texture, but higher end homes can often have troweled texture which provides a mountain-home feel and is harder to do (but we can do it!)

Can texture be matched? Yes, we can match textures when doing drywall repair in Colorado Springs, but often times it’s best to spray the entire surface that the repair is located so as to “feather it in.”

We also provide house painting services – so after we get done repairing, installing, or finishing your drywall, we can prime and paint it to look as good as new!

Do we sell tile or flooring? No, but here are a few places we recommend looking for tile at. If you pick it out, we can purchase and deliver it.

• Tom Keithley with Choice Floors: (719) 761-3055. Tom will come to your house with samples and help you decide what kind of flooring to get. Very convenient!
• Tile Traders (Fillmore and Nevada – we can get a discount here if you order through us)
• World of Tile (Academy and Lehman)
• Home Depot or Lowes (we recommend these when you are in a hurry or on a tight budget)

What is a “mud pan”? A mud pan is a custom-built waterproof tile shower basin. It can be made at any size you choose. It’s a combination of concrete, durock, rubber membrane, three-piece drain, and tile. If these are not done right, they can leak and cause expensive problem later on. But when done right, they are beautiful! And we do them right every time.

Types of Popular Tile: 

• Porcelain
• Ceramic
• Stone
• Granite
• Glass

We recommend using Porcelain or Ceramic and then using glass tiles for accent strips.

Keep us in mind for all of your tile Colorado Springs projects as well as any other flooring you might need installed. We’re here to serve.
