We started the company we wished we had hired.
Veteran-owned Averra Exteriors Group was founded by partners John and James, who bring years of construction experience and a commitment to clear communication and quality workmanship. Our exterior services include permanent lighting, roofing, gutters and underdecking.
We serve homeowners and businesses across Colorado, Wyoming and Kansas. Explore our service areas, permanent lighting systems and roof replacement services.
How we got here
After running a highly successful gutter business together — earning a 4.8-star rating built on trust and quality workmanship — we saw a critical gap in the roofing and exterior industry. When John had his own roof installed, the experience was eye-opening: poor communication, lack of transparency, and subpar quality led to very little value. That’s when we realized property owners deserve better.
Why we are still here
We started Averra to be the company we wished existed — one where quality craftsmanship meets honest communication to build value, and where your satisfaction is our main goal.
Why We’re Different
We’ve been in your shoes. We know what it’s like to trust someone with your biggest investment — your home or business. That’s why we approach every project with the care and attention we’d want for our own properties.
Our Commitment
From the first inspection to the final walkthrough, we’re with you every step of the way. No surprises, no runarounds, just straightforward expertise you can count on. We’re raising the bar for what property owners should expect from their exterior contractor.
James Estes
Practical experience. Thoughtful guidance. A personal commitment to your home.
James brings the discipline of an Army veteran, the knowledge of a licensed General Contractor and years of experience in exterior construction, water management and drainage. His background in corporate leadership and franchise operations helps turn those skills into a well-organized project, with careful planning and clear communication.
For James, good work starts with understanding what matters to you. His approach is to explain the options, pay attention to the details and help you feel confident about the work being done on your property.
A father of two, James values the comfort and security of home. You may also meet his service dog, Lou C Lou, along the way.
John Eberhard
Clear answers, careful planning and respect for the trust you place in us.
John brings construction experience alongside a background in financial auditing, accounting and finance operations in the energy industry. That combination gives him a practical understanding of exterior projects and a careful approach to budgets, planning and accountability—along with a belief that customers deserve straightforward information when making decisions about their homes.
After a frustrating roofing experience at his own home, John partnered with James to build the kind of contractor relationship he had wanted: approachable people, a clear scope of work and regular communication. Their work together in the exterior industry began in 2021 and continues through Averra.
A University of Montana graduate, John lives in Aurora with his wife and son. Outside work, he enjoys golf, snowmobiling, fishing and hockey. He brings that same appreciation for family and home to the way Averra cares for its customers.
