Local storm history
Why Fort Collins roofs take a beating
Colorado's Front Range is the core of North America's "Hail Alley," producing more large-hail days than almost anywhere on the continent and some of the costliest hail catastrophes in U.S. history. Unlike the Plains, the season runs deep into summer. In Fort Collins and the surrounding Larimer County area, hail and damaging wind damage is most common during the late-spring through summer convective season. Because storm damage is highly localized, one side of a ZIP can be hit hard while the next street is untouched — a free inspection is the only way to know.
Storm climate summarized from public NOAA/NWS and insurance-industry reporting. This is general regional context, not a guarantee your specific property was affected — a free inspection confirms your damage.

Colorado storm claim rules
Reporting: Colorado: report promptly. Colorado law generally limits an insurer's ability to deny a claim for late notice unless the delay actually prejudiced the insurer, but prompt reporting still protects you.
Deadline: General guidance: Colorado's contract statute of limitations is commonly 3 years, and Colorado has strengthened homeowner protections on claim handling, but your policy's suit-limitation clause still governs the practical deadline. Verify your specific terms.
Deductibles: Front Range hail policies often carry a separate wind/hail percentage deductible (commonly 1%–5% of dwelling coverage).
General information, not legal advice — verify with Colorado Division of Insurance (doi.colorado.gov). See the Larimer County hub and Colorado claim guidance.
