About Us

In 1975 Black Roofing formed with the idea that Boulder County needed a roofing company that was both conscientious and knowledgeable. Black Roofing has since grown to become one of the largest roofing firms in Colorado. With over 90 employees and averaging nearly 2000 jobs a year, we’ve built our reputation on service and quality. Our estimators, superintendents and foremen are trained and educated in-house. Throughout the years, Black Roofing, Inc. has become an approved applicator for almost all roofing systems. Our status in the roofing business comes through years of practical experience, financial stability and the consistent demonstration of quality workmanship.
