About Us
About Gerald Winik – Colorado Springs Roof Consultant Serving Homeowners, Realtors, Property Managers & Commercial Owners
Independent Expertise for Every Property Type
Whether you’re a homeowner dealing with storm damage, a realtor needing a pre-listing inspection, a property manager overseeing multiple buildings, or a commercial owner evaluating your roof’s condition—you need honest, professional assessment from someone who isn’t trying to sell you a roof.
I’m Gerald Winik, owner of Winik LLC, and I’ve been providing independent roof consulting services in Colorado Springs since 2013. I don’t carry a hammer, I don’t employ installers, and I’m not here to upsell you on materials. My job is to give you accurate roof assessments, professional documentation, and connections to the right licensed experts for your specific situation.

Why I Do This Differently
After years in the roofing industry, I noticed the same problems across every property type:
Homeowners
Homeowners get lowball insurance settlements because they don’t know how to document storm damage properly.
Realtors
Realtors lose deals or face liability because inspection reports miss roof issues or exaggerate problems.
Property Managers
Property managers waste budget on unnecessary repairs or defer legitimate issues because contractors give conflicting advice.
Commercial Owners
Commercial owners can’t get straight answers about whether they need repairs, restoration, or full replacement.
The common thread? Everyone needed unbiased expertise from someone without a financial stake in selling them a roof.
That’s what I provide. Independent consulting, accurate documentation, and trusted professional connections—no matter what type of property you own or manage.
My Experience: 12 Years Across Residential & Commercial Properties
Since 2013, I’ve worked with over 200 clients across El Paso County, including:
- 70+ homeowners every hail season navigating insurance claims
- Residential real estate transactions requiring pre-listing or buyer protection inspections
- Multi-family properties for HOAs and property management companies
- Commercial buildings needing condition assessments and maintenance planning
Together with licensed public adjusters and attorneys, I’ve helped document and support over $22.5 million in legitimate insurance settlements for storm-damaged properties.

What Makes My Approach Different
I Know How Every Major Insurance Carrier Operates
State Farm handles wind damage claims differently than Allstate. USAA has stricter documentation requirements than Farmers. I’ve worked alongside adjusters from every major insurance company operating in Colorado Springs, and I understand their evaluation methods, common objections, and what documentation they require.
I Tell You the Truth, Even When It’s Not What You Want to Hear
My reputation depends on accuracy. If your roof doesn’t have compensable storm damage, I’ll tell you—even if three contractors already said you need a full replacement. If your commercial roof has five more years of serviceable life, I won’t recommend unnecessary replacement.
I’ve walked away from potential clients because the work they wanted didn’t align with what their property actually needed. That integrity matters when I do identify legitimate issues—people trust my assessments because I don’t exaggerate.
I Document Everything to Professional Standards
Whether it’s a residential insurance claim or a commercial property condition report, my documentation meets industry standards. I understand how insurance carriers evaluate damage, how real estate transactions require defensible reports, and how property managers need actionable data for budgeting.
I’ve Tracked Every Major Storm in This Region Since 2013
Colorado Springs has unique weather patterns. Hail intensity varies dramatically across neighborhoods. Wind damage presents differently at higher elevations. Our temperature swings create specific stress points on roofing materials.
I’ve documented damage from every significant hailstorm in El Paso County over the past 12 years. That local expertise matters whether you’re filing an insurance claim, evaluating a property purchase, or planning capital improvements.
I Connect You With the Best Licensed Professionals in Colorado
I don’t employ roofers, lawyers, or public adjusters. I partner with them—and only the best.

I work with Petrali Roofing, one of the most credentialed roofing companies in Colorado Springs:
- TAMKO Platinum Contractor
- GAF Master Elite Certification
- Fully licensed, bonded, and insured
- Proven track record on residential and commercial projects
Licensed Insurance Claim Attorneys
When claims get denied or you need professional representation in settlement negotiations, I connect you with specialized insurance claim lawyers who fight carriers on your behalf.
Licensed Public Adjusters
For complex claims or disputes requiring independent damage assessment and professional negotiation, I work with licensed public adjusters who represent your interests—not the insurance company’s.

For commercial properties, I work with Petrali Roofing, which handles all commercial roof types including:
- TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin)
- EPDM (rubber roofing)

You get expert referrals matched to your specific property type and situation—no guesswork, no sales pressure.
What Colorado Springs Clients Say
“Gerald’s knowledge of how State Farm operates made all the difference. He documented our damage professionally, and when we needed representation, he connected us with a licensed public adjuster who knew exactly how to present our case. Final settlement was $31,000 more than their initial offer.”
Sarah M
Homeowner, Briargate
“As a realtor, I need roof inspectors who give me accurate information without killing deals unnecessarily. Gerald’s assessments are always honest and well-documented. My clients trust his evaluations.”
Nicole Simmons
Realty One Group
“He told us the truth when contractors were exaggerating damage. After a hailstorm, three contractors said we needed full replacement. Gerald’s assessment showed isolated damage that could be repaired. That integrity matters.”
Mike T
Homeowner, Monument
“Managing 12 properties means I need someone I can trust for multiple roof evaluations. Gerald provides consistent, professional assessments that help me budget accurately.”
