February along Colorado’s Front Range has been anything butpredictable. From early‑month warmth to sudden cold snaps, fierce winds, andwaves of light snow, the season is creating the exact mix of conditions thatexpose winter damage—often right before spring storm season arrives. At thesame time, the construction industry is grappling with rising material costs,labor shortages, and economic uncertainty, all of which directly impact projectplanning for property managers.

Here’s what’s happening right now in the Denver Metro andFront Range corridor—and how ASR Companies helps you stay ahead of risk.

February Weather Along the Front Range: Warm Days, High Winds & Freeze–Thaw Stress

Denver began mid‑February with springlike warmth, beforerapidly shifting to high winds and fire‑weather conditions across Front Rangecommunities. Gusts reached 35–50 mph in lower‑elevation areas from ColoradoSprings through Denver and up to the northern corridor.

While the mountains have seen heavy snow, Front Range citiesexperienced lighter snowfall, with more accumulating in the foothills west of Denver-Metro.

February has also trended warmer than historical averages,reaching the mid‑50s late in the month and repeatedly cycling between thawingdays and freezing nights—conditions well‑known for causing hidden buildingdamage.

Why This Matters for Property Managers

Freeze–thaw cycles and high winds create the perfect recipefor:

• Roofing failures (lifted shingles, flashing separation, early leak formation)
• Siding and sealant deterioration
• Gutter and downspout strain
• Water intrusion as snow melts and moves again

Experts emphasize that winter roof damage in Denver is oftenmissed until warmups expose leaks, especially around flashing, chimneys, andattic spaces.

What’s Most at Risk Right Now in Front Range Communities

ASR Companies specializes in working with Front Range HOAsand community managers, multifamily properties, and commercial propertymanagers, so these risks are especially relevant:

1. Roof Damage Emerging After Warm Spells

Warming periods followed by cold snaps often reveal:

• Shingle lift
• Cracked sealant
• Ice‑dam‑related moisture
• Attic condensation and mold indicators

Denver roof experts warn that meltwater can expose leaks astemperatures rise in late February and early March.

2. Wind‑Related Building Envelope Stress

Front Range winds reaching 50 mph this month can cause:

• Loose siding
• Pulled or flapping flashing
• Damaged gutters and downspouts
• Balcony or railing movement

3. Drainage Concerns from Intermittent Melting

Even small snowfall (2–3 inches) followed by rapid warmingcreates:

• Gutter overflow
• Foundation moisture pressure
• Blocked drains from freeze–thaw debris

4. Fire‑Weather Precautions

Red Flag Warnings in mid‑February along the plains indicateincreasing early‑season fire danger, prompting the need for:

• Clearing winter debris
• Securing loose outdoor materials
• Reviewing emergency access routes
