There’s nothing better than businesses coming together to make a difference. 💙

We’re proud to support Elder Construction’s Summersgiving initiative, benefiting the Weld Food Bank’s Compete to Beat Hunger Food Drive.

Our team at ART came together to collect and donate these items because giving back to the communities we serve is just as important as the work we do every day. Every donation helps provide meals for local families facing food insecurity, and we’re grateful to be part of an effort that makes a real impact.

A big thank you to Elder Construction for organizing this incredible event and to everyone participating. Together, we can help beat hunger this summer! 🥫❤️

This morning, our team came together for our Annual ESOP Meeting—a chance to reflect on where we’ve been, celebrate what we’ve accomplished, and look ahead to what’s next.

Being an ESOP means every employee has a stake in our success, and that’s something we’re proud of. It’s more than ownership—it’s accountability, teamwork, and a shared commitment to delivering quality on every project.

Thank you to our incredible team for everything you do. Here’s to another year of growing stronger together! 👏🏗️

🌡️ Heat is on the horizon, and your roof feels it long before you do.

When roof surface temperatures climb above 150°F, roofing materials begin expanding, sealants soften, and small vulnerabilities can become costly problems.

Here are a few things property owners should pay attention to during prolonged heat waves:

☀️ Exposed nail heads can expand and loosen over time, creating entry points for moisture during the next storm.

☀️ Rubber pipe boots around plumbing vents are often one of the first components to crack and deteriorate under intense UV exposure.

☀️ Flashing around chimneys, skylights, and wall transitions can separate as metal expands and contracts through repeated heat cycles.

☀️ Attics with poor ventilation trap superheated air, forcing your roofing system to work harder while increasing cooling costs inside the building.

☀️ Flat roofs may develop areas of ponding after thermal movement alters drainage patterns over time.

A roof rarely fails because of one major event. More often, it’s the result of small issues being accelerated by months of heat, UV exposure, and weather extremes.

The best time to find these problems is before summer reaches its peak.

🏢🏠 Metal Roofing: Built to Last

Whether it’s protecting a commercial facility or your family home, metal roofing continues to be one of the most durable and energy-efficient roofing systems available.

🔹 What is a metal roof made of?
Most metal roofing systems are manufactured from galvanized steel, Galvalume® steel, aluminum, copper, or zinc. Each material offers unique benefits, but all are designed to provide exceptional longevity and weather resistance.

✅ Benefits for Commercial Buildings
• Long service life (40-70+ years)
• Low maintenance requirements
• Excellent resistance to hail, wind, and fire
• Reflective coatings can help reduce cooling costs
• Available in standing seam and exposed-fastener systems for different building needs

✅ Benefits for Residential Homes
• Increased curb appeal with a variety of styles and colors
• Energy-efficient performance during hot summer months
• Superior protection against Colorado’s hail, wind, and snow
• Lightweight compared to many traditional roofing materials
• Environmentally friendly and often made from recycled materials

A quality metal roof isn’t just a roofing system—it’s a long-term investment in protection, efficiency, and peace of mind.

🏢🏠 What is TPO Roofing?

TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin) is one of the fastest-growing roofing systems in the industry, known for its durability, energy efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.

Most commonly used on commercial buildings with flat or low-slope roofs, TPO is a single-ply membrane that creates a watertight barrier while reflecting UV rays and heat away from the building. This can help reduce cooling costs and improve overall energy performance.

Benefits of TPO Roofing:
✔ Heat-reflective surface helps improve energy efficiency
✔ Strong resistance to UV exposure, punctures, and weathering
✔ Heat-welded seams create a durable, watertight system
✔ Lightweight and versatile for a variety of building types
✔ Low maintenance compared to many traditional roofing systems

While TPO is primarily installed on commercial properties, it’s also becoming a popular option for modern residential homes with flat or low-slope roof designs.

Whether protecting a warehouse, office building, apartment complex, or contemporary home, TPO continues to be a proven roofing solution designed for long-term performance.

🌧️ DAILY RAIN = DAILY WEAR ON YOUR ROOF 🌧️

Colorado rainstorms don’t just “get your roof wet” — they expose the weak spots you didn’t know were there. And when rain hits day after day, small issues can turn into expensive damage fast.

Here’s what homeowners should actually be watching for right now 👇

⚠️ Overflowing guttersIf water spills over the sides instead of flowing through downspouts, it can back up under shingles and into fascia boards.

⚠️ Dark ceiling spots or musty smellsEven tiny discoloration inside your home can mean moisture is already making its way through your roofing system.

⚠️ Loose shingles after wind + rain combosRain itself isn’t always the problem — it’s the wind-driven water finding openings after shingles lift or shift.

⚠️ Granules in downspouts or around drainsThose sand-like particles are your shingles’ protective layer. If you’re seeing buildup, your roof may be aging faster than you think.

⚠️ Ponding water on low-slope areasWater that sits too long can slowly break down materials and create hidden leak points over time.

💡 Pro Tip: Most roof leaks don’t start during one huge storm — they start from repeated exposure and small neglected issues.

A quick visual inspection after rainy weeks can save thousands later. Your roof is your home’s first defense… make sure it’s ready for the next round of Colorado weat

Spring storms are fading, but summer heat is just getting started ☀️🏠

As we move from spring into summer in Colorado, your roof goes from handling heavy moisture and hail potential to intense UV exposure and rapid temperature swings. A few things homeowners should keep an eye on:

• Missing or lifted shingles after spring winds
• Gutters clogged with leaves, granules, or debris
• Soft spots or stains from hidden moisture buildup
• Cracked caulking around vents and flashing
• Excessive attic heat that can shorten roof life during summer months

A roof problem rarely starts big — it starts small and gets worse with every storm and hot day ahead. Seasonal maintenance now can help prevent expensive repairs later. 🔨🌤️

Proud to support organizations making a real impact in our community. 🎣🏕️

At Advanced Roofing Technologies, we’re honored to help sponsor and their mission of building stronger relationships through outdoor recreation and mentorship opportunities for youth and their adult role models.

Investing in the next generation goes far beyond roofing — it’s about supporting experiences, confidence, leadership, and connection outdoors. We’re grateful to be a small part of what CYO continues to do for Colorado families.

When Colorado gives you 70° one day and rain + a possible freeze the next… your roof feels it before you do. Here’s what that rapid swing can do:

🌡️ Thermal shock
Materials expand in the warmth and contract quickly when temps drop—this can cause cracking, splitting, or loosened seams.

💧 Water intrusion
Rain finds its way into small openings… then overnight temps drop and that water freezes, expands, and makes those openings worse.

🧊 Freeze-thaw damage
That cycle repeats and can lift shingles, separate flashing, and weaken your roof system over time.

🏠 Hidden leaks
You might not notice anything right away—but those small vulnerabilities can show up later as interior stains or insulation damage.

Quick tip: After big temperature swings, it’s worth a quick visual check (or having a pro take a look) before minor issues turn into costly repairs.

We see this pattern every spring in Colorado—and catching it early makes all the difference.
