How to check Rockies Roofing on the Colorado record
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
- Go to the registry and search by license number first, business name second.
- Look at the expiration date and compare it with the dates in your contract.
- Request a current certificate of insurance from the insurer; licenses and insurance are checked separately.
- Match the name, the city and the status. The record should read active or in good standing.
