After our new home got hit with 3/4 inch hail, we needed a new roof. The great reviews for Ideal Roofing and Solar helped us make the perfect choice. They were professional, did a fantastic job, cleaned up as if the job never happened, and worked directly with our insurance company. They even partnered with our solar company to get our panels removed and reinstalled.

Jake Fairbanks explained everything and made sure he came back twice during scheduling to make my wife and I understood everything. This was seamless and it got done in a day. Even the solar panels removal and reinstall went well and with 39 panels, we were nervous. Great job Jake and team.

Great team to work with. My roof had some hail damage, and they were able to simplify this process by walking me through everything from the insurance claim to the final roof installation. Shout out to Christina for helping us through this process, and making sure we were informed along the way.

We had such a great experience working with Ideal Roofing. Eric helped us with submitting the claim with our insurance company and spent countless hours coming to our house and taking photos and setting the project up. Alex and Phil oversaw the project and drove quite a distance twice to make sure we were happy with the final work. The roofing crew worked until the late evening making sure all nails and debris were picked up before they left.

Ideal Roofing came through when I needed them the most. The previous roof contract company had left me hanging. Since the first time that we met, they walked us through everything that was going to be done. There was no hidden fees, they were clear and explained all the charges to us. The workers were very professional and finished the work in a timely manner.

The service and integrity of the folks at Ideal Roofing is hard to find these days. Eric & Sasha did inspections on our roof for hail damage and a leak repair. In two occasions they could have recommended and done fixes that were not necessary but instead they were honest with their assessment.

I had a great experience working with Jake and the team at Ideal Roofing. Their communication and thoughtfulness really stood out, and it always felt like they were looking out for my best interest instead of just making a sale. Even though I didn't need a new roof this time, I wouldn't hesitate to call them if I ever do.

Without a doubt, one of the best companies I have ever done business with. I put off the roof, gutters and paint repair from last October till the first of April. Their communication was constant.

We needed to have our roof replaced and whole house/fence painted due to hail damage. We had gotten quotes from several companies and really appreciated the time Jake took to explain the whole process. Ideal handled all the permits with the city, worked directly with my insurance company, met the adjuster for the inspection, and pointed out what the adjuster had missed.

Does Ideal Roof & Exterior Pros handle insurance claims?

Yes. Insurance claim handling is the single most-praised service in our reviews. The team meets adjusters on-site, documents damage thoroughly, files supplements for items insurance adjusters miss, and communicates directly with the carrier throughout. Reviewers consistently describe the process as "seamless" and "fire-and-forget."

Is Ideal Roof & Exterior Pros an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor?

Yes. This designation is held by fewer than 1% of roofing contractors nationwide and requires ongoing training, installation audits, and workmanship standards. It also unlocks the strongest Owens Corning warranties — including the Platinum Protection Roofing System Limited Warranty — available to homeowners.

Why is the company name sometimes "Custom Onside" in older reviews?

Ideal Roof & Exterior Pros operated as "Custom Onside Roofing & Exteriors" prior to rebranding. Same ownership, same team, same standards — just a new name that better reflects the Denver market we serve.
