Anatomy of a Zombie Roofer: How the Blind Lead the Blind in Colorado Roofing
By Captain Adam Nielsen | Published on September 15, 2025
After a hailstorm rattles the Front Range, a different kind of threat emerges. It doesn't shamble down the street, but it can be just as destructive to your home's long-term survival: the horde of 'zombie roofers.'
This isn't about a single bad contractor; it's about a broken system. It’s a story of the blind leading the blind, where crucial knowledge is lost at every step, leaving you with a roof that’s anything but apocalypse-proof. Here’s a breakdown of the anatomy of a zombie roofer.
The Project Manager: The Uninformed Scout
The first person you meet is usually a Project Manager. In reality, they are a salesperson tasked with managing the project. While they can tell the difference between a basic architectural shingle and an impact-resistant one, their technical knowledge is often dangerously shallow.
How can they ensure the crew installs something correctly if they don't know what 'correct' is? They can't. They are the first link in a chain of ignorance.
The Crew: The Unlicensed Grunts
Next comes the installation crew. The company holds the license, not the crew members themselves. This means the people physically building your first line of defense have likely never had to pass a licensing exam. They install what they're given, how they've always done it.
The Company: The Abandoned Command Post
The company itself holds the license, but the office staff are administrators, not roofers. The result is an entire industry acting like a mindless zombie following the horde.
