We Started With a Truck,
a Ladder, and a Promise
I started Gates Enterprises because I was tired of watching storm chasers roll through Colorado, collect checks, and disappear. Homeowners deserved better. They deserved someone who'd answer their call on a Saturday, fight their insurance company like it was personal, and still be here seven years later when the workmanship warranty kicks in.
That's what we built. We grew from a two man crew in a basement to a team of over 100 employees with buildings dedicated to each step of the process. We earned four manufacturer certifications (GAF Master Elite, Owens Corning Preferred, Malarkey Emerald Pro, and CertainTeed Shingle Master Pro), not because they look good on a website, but because they give our customers the strongest warranties in the industry.
We've recovered millions in insurance supplements that adjusters tried to short change. We've replaced roofs on houses where grandma was told her damage “wasn't enough.” We show up, we do the work, and we don't leave until it's right.

Every veteran gets a military discount because service deserves service. And in 2026, we're committing $100K to help homeowners who've been wrongfully denied coverage or unknowingly locked into bad policies.
When your roofer lives down the street, they care different. We're proof.
