Wapiti is a local family-owned company founded by Brent Donnelly and Heather Jenkins. Known as the "roof whisperer," Brent works alongside his son, Brennan, and his experienced team to ensure the highest quality of roofing work in the area. Deeply rooted in the community, the Wapiti team believes in supporting fellow Castle Rock homeowners by sponsoring several local athletic and academic sponsorships. "It's important to live in and support the community you serve," says Heather Jenkins.
A GAF/ELK Certified Contractor, Wapiti is appropriately licensed, insured, reputable, and committed to the continual education of the staff.
"At Wapiti, we consider ourselves a hometown roofer you can trust. Being local helps us understand the Castle Rock weather, government regulations, and terrain," explains Jenkins. "Plus, if a weather event causes damage that needs immediate attention, we can be on site quickly to repair the damage."
Putting the customer first has made Wapiti the first choice in roofing since 2009. The company takes great pride in answering phone calls, texts, and emails with a sense of neighborly urgency. "We treat others the way we want to be treated. We do everything possible to be present, especially when it's as important as a neighbor's home," says Jenkins.
Referrals are the primary way that Wapiti gains new customers, and when existing customers need repairs, they turn to Brent and his educated team of roofers. "Our roofers are highly trained and want to ensure that when working with our customers, they educate them as they do the job."
Hail and wind damage are the primary reasons customers turn to Wapiti to help them protect their homes. Shingles guard the roof underlayment that protects the plywood. Homeowners do not want weather exposure to plywood, which can cause leaks and lead to water damage throughout the home.
After weather damage, Wapiti advises that homeowners call a roofer first before filing an insurance claim. A roofer can evaluate the damage to see if it's worth filing a claim or if paying out of pocket for the repair is better. The team frequently meets with adjustors on-site to advocate for you as a homeowner.
Maintaining a roof is a meaningful way to protect the investment in your home. "We like to advise clients to do a full inspection every 3 to 5 years," says Jenkins. While roofing material does not significantly impact utilities, roof venting and insulation have an impact and can be identified early with routine inspections."
To increase the value of their homes, homeowners can consider upgrading the roofing materials to Class 4 impact-resistant shingles, which are less likely to be damaged in weather-related storms. Insurance companies may even offer a discount for using these materials.

A good roof maintenance program includes cleaning gutters and debris annually. It’s also smart to have a professional inspect a roof every 3 to 5 years for nail heads, wind, or penetration damage.
