About Alex
Alex Chicilo founded Gates Enterprises in 2014 with a single truck and a straightforward philosophy: treat every roof like it belongs to your own family. What started as a one-person operation in Lakewood, Colorado has grown into one of the most trusted roofing companies on the Front Range, with over 100 employees and thousands of completed projects across 65+ cities.
Under Alex's leadership, Gates Enterprises has earned quadruple manufacturer certification from the four largest shingle manufacturers in North America: GAF, Owens Corning, Malarkey, and CertainTeed. Fewer than 1% of roofing contractors in the country hold all four certifications. Each one requires rigorous training, verified installation quality, and ongoing commitment to manufacturer standards. These certifications allow Gates Enterprises to offer the strongest warranties in the industry, including GAF's Golden Pledge Lifetime Warranty.
Alex also created HailScore, a proprietary hail risk assessment tool that analyzes over 4.5 million NOAA radar records to help Colorado homeowners understand their property's hail exposure. HailScore gives homeowners data-driven insight into storm history at their address, helping them make informed decisions about roofing materials, insurance coverage, and when to schedule inspections.
With over 301 Google reviews and a 4.8-star average rating, Alex and the Gates Enterprises team have built their reputation on honest assessments, quality workmanship, and straightforward communication. Whether it is a full roof replacement, a storm damage repair, or navigating the insurance claims process, the goal is always the same: get the homeowner the best possible outcome.
