Looking up Drennen Custom Contracting (Radon and Roofing) in Colorado
Colorado does not issue a statewide roofing license. Licensing is handled by cities and counties, so the rules depend on where the roof is. Denver, for example, requires a city supervisor certificate and contractor license (Specialty Class D), but we don't yet check these local records
- Start the lookup with the license number; use the business name only if the number fails.
- Have the insurer or agent send the certificate of insurance to you, since a license says nothing about coverage.
- An expiry before your finish date is a reason to ask questions.
- Compare the registry name with the name on the contract, and read the status line.
