Colorado Superior Roofing

Checking Colorado Superior Roofing against 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

1. Search the registry by number, then by name, because spellings differ between sources.
2. Request a current certificate of insurance from the insurer; licenses and insurance are checked separately.
3. The registry name, the contract name and the truck lettering should all agree; the status should be active.
4. Look at the expiration date and compare it with the dates in your contract.
