Choosing the right roofing contractor is one of the most important decisions you'll make as a Denver homeowner. Here's how to find the best.
Verify Colorado Licensing
All reputable roofers must be licensed in Colorado. Ask for license numbers and verify them with the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies.
Check Insurance Coverage
Your contractor needs both liability insurance and workers' compensation. This protects you from liability if accidents occur on your property.
Read Recent Reviews
Look for contractors with consistent positive reviews on Google and Yelp. Pay attention to how they handle complaints and their response time.
Get Multiple Written Estimates
Obtain at least three detailed written estimates. The lowest bid isn't always the best - compare materials, warranties, and scope of work.
Ask About Local Experience
Denver's climate requires specific expertise. Choose contractors with extensive experience handling Colorado's unique weather challenges.
Review Past Projects
Ask to see completed projects in your neighborhood. Quality contractors are proud to show their work and provide references.
Understand the Warranty
Clarify what's covered under manufacturer warranties versus workmanship guarantees. Get all warranty details in writing.
Trust Your Instincts
If something feels off or a deal seems too good to be true, it probably is. Choose contractors who communicate clearly and professionally.
