The Challenge

Coordinating roof replacement on a secure military base

The Fort Carson housing units presented a unique challenge: the roofs needed replacement across a large military base, but the project had to comply with strict security protocols, background checks, and coordination with other trades. CWC had to work efficiently while minimizing disruption to residents and maintaining safety in a highly regulated environment.

The Fort Carson housing units were part of a large, active military base, which made logistics especially challenging. Crews had to work efficiently without blocking access roads, interfering with residents’ daily routines, or taking up unnecessary space in a highly controlled environment.

Additionally, the existing asphalt shingles and underlayment had deteriorated over time, requiring careful removal and cleanup. Every step of the process needed to prioritize debris control, safety, and adherence to the base’s strict regulations.

CWC responded with a precision-focused approach, maintaining strict safety protocols while coordinating work zones to avoid interfering with the daily routines of military families. The team ensured that every step of the asphalt shingle replacement was clean, organized, and respectful of the base’s environment.

Despite the logistical complexities of working on an active military installation, CWC’s experience with large-scale projects allowed the team to adapt seamlessly. The roofing work was completed efficiently, safely, and professionally, providing long-lasting protection for the residents and strengthening our relationship with the general contractor overseeing the base.

THE SOLUTION

CWC delivered a safe, efficient, and minimally disruptive roofing replacement

With careful planning, strict safety protocols, and ongoing communication with the base’s general contractor, CWC completed the Fort Carson roofing project with minimal disruption to residents. Our crews worked precisely within the secure environment, maintaining clean work zones and coordinating with other trades to ensure smooth operations. By combining smart scheduling with meticulous installation of asphalt shingles, CWC delivered a long-lasting, reliable roofing solution that reinforced the client’s confidence in our ability to manage large, complex projects safely and efficiently.

Fast, precise work with minimal disruption

Time management and careful planning were critical to the Fort Carson project. The CWC project management team coordinated every step of the asphalt shingle replacement to ensure the work was completed safely, on schedule, and with minimal disruption to military families.

Thanks to our experience and detailed project planning, CWC successfully completed:

  • The removal and replacement of over 800,000 square feet of asphalt shingles, underlayment, and flashings across multiple housing units.

  • Careful cleanup and installation in a highly regulated, active base environment, ensuring safety and accessibility for residents and personnel throughout the project.

To achieve these results within the required timeline, CWC deployed skilled crews, used specialized equipment, and maintained strict safety protocols on-site every day. The project was completed efficiently, leaving the housing units with durable, long-lasting roofs that meet the highest standards of quality and reliability.

Prioritizing the well-being of residents and crew

With so many moving parts and the unique regulations of a military base, safety was the top priority throughout the Fort Carson project. CWC maintained a constant focus on protecting both the residents and our crew members working on the roofs.

We implemented safety perimeters around each housing unit, stationed monitors on the ground, and coordinated with base security to control traffic and pedestrian access. Every crew member working on the roofs followed strict OSHA protocols, ensuring that everyone — residents, personnel, and workers alike — remained safe, allowing the project to proceed without incident.

Roofs built to last

At Fort Carson, CWC didn’t just replace the old roofs — we installed a durable asphalt shingle system designed to protect the housing units for decades. Using high-quality materials and proper underlayment, we ensured each roof provides long-term protection against weather, wear, and leaks.

Our experienced superintendents oversaw the project to make sure all systems were installed to code and according to manufacturer specifications. Residents and base personnel can now feel confident that their roofs are not only visually seamless but also built to last, providing reliable, worry-free protection for years to come.

Keeping clients informed every step of the way

Large projects like Fort Carson come with logistical challenges, tight timelines, and unexpected hurdles. Luckily, CWC’s team has the experience and know-how to adapt to any job site.

Throughout the project, we maintained daily communication with the base’s general contractor and coordinated with residents, ensuring everyone knew the schedule and progress. Our field management team adjusted quickly to challenges as they arose, keeping the project on track and meeting expectations for safety, timing, and quality.
