About Us

About Old World Roofing

Old World Roofing was founded in 1977 by John Whitley, a retired U.S. Army Officer who brought the same values to roofing that he carried through his military career — integrity, accountability, and a commitment to doing the job right the first time. What started as a single-family roofing operation in Colorado Springs has grown into one of the most credentialed and longest-tenured roofing companies in Southern Colorado, now led by John's son Rolf and grandson Marshall. Three generations. One address. Nearly 50 years of standing behind every roof we put on.

Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor

Founded in 1977 by the Whitley family. Still the Whitley family today.

BBB A+ Since 1991 and BBB Excellence in Customer Service Award: 2007, 2015, 2017

Built on Credentials, Backed by Experience

We've earned Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor status. We've maintained a BBB A+ rating since 1991, received three BBB Excellence in Customer Service Awards, and built a reputation not through advertising but through the kind of work that homeowners talk about to their neighbors. We install Owens Corning materials backed by the Platinum Protection Warranty for up to 20 years, and we handle everything from roof replacement and storm damage claims to gutters, skylights, attic insulation, and solar attic fans — because we believe in being the one contractor a Colorado Springs homeowner actually needs to call.

Still Here — Before the Storm and After the Warranty

The roofing industry has no shortage of companies that arrive after a storm and disappear before the warranty matters. Old World Roofing has been at the same Colorado Springs address since before most of our competitors were founded. When you choose Old World Roofing, you're choosing a company with a military-grade sense of obligation to the work — and a family that will still be here to answer for it.

What Colorado Springs Homeowners Say About Old World Roofing & Restoration

Meri B.

I recommend Old World Roofing to all of my clients and friends. These guys have done an outstanding job for us for many years ! Highly recommend them !

Matthew H.

This is why I went with a local company and not a national conglomerate. Chris and his wife were a joy to work with and honest in their dealings with no sales pressure tactics which is a stark contrast to just about every other door to door roofing company in COS.

Robert H.

Great roofing company that really cares about their customers. They handled all the correspondence with the insurance company. They even went to bat for us when the insurance company didn't want to cover some expenses multiple times. They did a professional install and picked up all trash and nails. They came out multiple times to meet with the insurance company to make sure they saw the hail damages. Do not call the insurance company if you suspect you have hail damage as it counts as a claim even if you don't file a claim and it goes on your record... Call Old World Roofing!

My original skylight installation leaked significantly after snowstorms. Within a short time of contacting Old World Roofing, Jeff gave me an estimate to repair the damage to the roof, replace my skylight, and also repair a few other areas of concern. Jeff was attentive to detail and completed all repairs in a timely fashion especially since he had to work around forecasts of snow. Old World Roofing will be at the top of my list for any future roofing needs.

Great experience with Old World Roofing and specifically Jeff Tonso. Jeff did a thorough inspection of our roof (after a recent exterior painting project). We have concrete tiles that are very durable but also can crack if stepped on at the right point. Jeff provided a reasonable estimate (including numerous pictures) to make the identified repairs and even came back to address a couple items that he found while completing the repairs.

I needed a small job done during the summer months. It was just minor repairs to the roof and some stucco. Other companies prioritized the big, high-income jobs over something like mine. Old World's estimator, Jeff came out a day after I called and gave me my estimate a day after that, while other companies took days to arrive and up to weeks to send me the estimate. Their stucco estimates were lazy, estimating a pricey re-build rather than a small repair. Deciding on Old World was easy. Jeff came out and completed the repair in a couple of days without any hiccups. Lots of photos. I’m sure my roof will last at least another decade. The amount of work was less than estimated, which is the only reason I'm giving fewer than five stars. I would hire Old World again.

Joseph W.

Several weeks ago Jeff Tonso did some work on my in-laws roof. I asked if he could take a look at the gutters on my house for replacement or repair. He gave me an estimate. We hired him. Last night it rained like hell and not a smidgen of water leaked around or out of the gutters. A+ to Jeff and to Old World Roofing.

Kelly W.

We had roof repairs done by Jeff Tonso. We thought he did an outstanding job with thorough attention to detail. The work was completed on time and within our budget. We especially appreciated the daily worksite cleanup. We highly recommend Old World Roofing - and have especially high praise for Jeff!!

Mark S.

Great service. Jeff Tonso, the on-site manager did a fantastic job.

Bill D.

We have an older tile roof (1996) that needed some TLC. Jeff Tonso was able to repair outside soffit damage as well as acquire replacement tiles, fit them and repair leaking areas. Jeff did a great job!

Reb D.

I really appreciate the follow thru by Jeff after purchasing my new home.

Jim B.

Been my roofing company for years. They always do a quality job.

Rylie L.

We had 4 skylights installed in our home in Colorado Springs. Jeff did the installs and was very attentive to the details and did a daily clean up of the construction debris. We are very happy with the final results.

Steve F.

Excellent and prompt service.

Randy M.

Jeff arrived esrly and did a thorough and professional job

Daniel H.

Old World Roofing is easy to work with. They gave a written estimate and followed through until job was complete. No run around or double talk. Chris was patient to explain things and answer questions. I have used them twice plus referred them to others.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Old World Roofing and project manager Chris on a roofing project for my home, and I must say they surpassed all my expectations. From the very first consultation to the final completion of the project, Chris displayed exceptional professionalism, expertise, and a true dedication to quality. He took the time to thoroughly inspect my roof, patiently answered all my questions, and provided a detailed breakdown of the required work. Moreover, Chris's communication skills were top-notch. He kept me informed about the project's progress and promptly addressed any concerns I had. His friendly demeanor and willingness to go above and beyond made the entire process stress-free and enjoyable. Overall, I am thoroughly impressed with Old World Roofing and Chris's professionalism. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking roofing services. If you're searching for a company that delivers exceptional results and exceptional service, look no further than Old World Roofing. Thank you, Chris, and the entire team, for a job well done!

Ellin J.

Beautiful job and a beautiful roof! Everything was done well and as promised. The job site was neat and clean as well. Thank you!

Jonathan “Jon” S.

Old World Roofing provided excellent service and I'm so happy with them. They came out and did a roof inspection. They found and documented in photos a few cracked tiles on the roof that need to be repaired/replaced. They also found that the roof jacks were all worn and needed to be replaced after 23 years. As we're getting our windows replaced in a few months we decided to hold off on the tile repairs until the windows are completed, but we went forward with the roof jack repairs. Once the windows are done, they will come back and re-inspect, make sure there isn't any additional tile damage, and we'll move forward with the tile repairs. Great service from the inspector (Steve Houston) to the person that did the work on the roof. Thanks folks for a great job!!

Allen A.

I won't use anyone else

W T.

Thanks to Old World Roofing and Particularly Carl who was able to locate excess inventory of some tile that is no longer made but that we needed on our house due to damage from the February 100 MPH winds. After repairs, the roof looks great again.

p B.

Great to work with and went out of their way to personally deliver a receipt to the owner because she needed it to close on the sale of her home. Thanks!

Brenda N.

Just the best! I have used Dan and the crew several times and I will always call them first!
