Looking up Metro City 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
- Request a current certificate of insurance from the insurer; licenses and insurance are checked separately.
- An expiry before your finish date is a reason to ask questions.
- Start the lookup with the license number; use the business name only if the number fails.
- Match the name, the city and the status. The record should read active or in good standing.
