Colorado's strong insurance market for hail claims has attracted a well-developed storm restoration contractor ecosystem in Fort Collins, but also a high rate of fly-by-night operators following major events. The city's affluent, environmentally-conscious population shows above-average interest in metal roofing, solar-integrated roofing, and Class 4 impact-resistant shingles that qualify for insurance premium reductions.
