Roofing in Fountain
Fountain sits on the open plains south of Colorado Springs. Here, roof planning starts with wind exposure, drainage and the condition left by storms.
Elevation
5,558 ft
Permit authority
Pikes Peak Regional Building Dept.
Ice barrier required
No — well below the 7,000 ft line
Defining hazard
Hail and wind exposure
Open plains south of Colorado Springs
At 5,558 ft Fountain sits nearly 3,000 feet below Woodland Park and about 500 below Colorado Springs. It is out on the open plains south of the city, without the terrain that shelters parts of the west side, so wind gets a clean run at a roof here.
Below the ice-barrier threshold
PPRBD's eave ice-barrier requirement starts at 7,000 ft. Fountain is comfortably below it, so that requirement does not apply — which makes it one of the less complicated re-roofs in the county, and a bid here should reflect that rather than carrying a line item the code does not ask for.
Same permit office as the Springs
Fountain is one of the incorporated cities inside PPRBD's jurisdiction, so the permit process and the licensing requirement are the same as in Colorado Springs.
