Tips
- Re-roofs (no modifications) review in about one week per the Review Timelines page — one of the fastest categories after like-for-like replacements.
- The re-roofing application can also be submitted by email alongside window, door, and A/C/furnace replacements for the 1-2 business day turnaround, if there are no plan modifications.
- Broomfield explicitly does NOT require ice-and-water shield at the eaves due to no local history of ice damming — a notable deviation from many other Front Range/Colorado jurisdictions; do not assume this applies elsewhere in Colorado.
