Looking up Zurn Ply 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
- Have the insurer or agent send the certificate of insurance to you, since a license says nothing about coverage.
- Open 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.
- Compare the registry name with the name on the contract, and read the status line.
