About CR3 American Exteriors in Colorado Springs
Who Is CR3 American Exteriors?
CR3 American Exteriors is an exterior contractor founded in 2017 that handles roofing, siding, gutters, windows, and doors for homes and businesses. As a roofing company in Colorado Springs, we help property owners protect their buildings from the hail, wind, and seasonal swings that the Front Range is known for, and we walk them through every decision along the way.
Our founder, Carnie Fryfogle III, is a fourth-generation contractor. He started CR3 on a simple idea: homeowners and business owners deserve a contractor who explains what's happening with their property, recommends what it actually needs, and stays in communication until the job is finished.
How Did a Fourth-Generation Contractor Build CR3?
Carnie grew up around the trades, watching family members build and repair properties for their communities. Four generations of contracting experience taught him what separates a good exterior project from a frustrating one. Usually it isn't the materials. It's whether the contractor listens, communicates, and follows through.
Since 2017, that approach has carried our company to:
- More than 6,000 customers served
- Recognition as a Top 10 producer for major shingle manufacturers
- A place on the Top 100 Roofing List
- A place on the Inc. 5000 list
Our consultants bring more than 100 years of combined experience to every inspection and recommendation.
What Does Colorado Springs Weather Do to a Roof?
Colorado Springs weather is hard on exteriors because storms, wind, sun, and temperature swings all hit the same property, sometimes in a single week.
Hail and Wind
As one of the biggest threats to roofing, hailstones can bruise and crack asphalt shingles, knock granules loose, and dent gutters, siding, and window frames. Much of this damage is hard to see from the ground, which is why a close inspection after a storm matters.
Sun and Seasonal Swings
At higher elevations, roofing materials take more direct UV exposure, which can age them faster. Add freeze-thaw cycles in the colder months, and small gaps around flashing, underlayment, and roof penetrations can widen over time, letting water reach the roof deck.
Why We Look at the Whole Exterior
Your roof, siding, gutters, windows, and doors work as one system. A clogged or damaged gutter can push water under shingles or behind siding. Damaged siding can let moisture into the wall. That's why we inspect the full exterior instead of only the most obvious problem.
