How to verify a roofer in Colorado

No statewide roofing license. Five checks to make before you sign.

What Colorado requires

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.

PickARoofer does not check a state registry for Colorado. Ask the roofer for a license or registration number if the state or your city requires one, and confirm it with the state contractor board or your city or county building department.

Five checks before you sign

  1. Ask for the license or registration number where one applies, and check it with the regulator named above. Where none applies, ask which permits the roofer will pull.
  2. Ask for a current certificate of insurance (general liability and workers’ compensation) sent to you directly by the insurer or agent. PickARoofer does not verify insurance.
  3. Get a written contract with the scope, materials, total price, start date and warranty terms. Do not sign a blank or partly filled form.
  4. Check the permit. Ask who pulls it and confirm with your city or county building department that it was issued.
  5. Be careful with large deposits and door-to-door offers after a storm. Read how to avoid storm-chaser scams.

What PickARoofer has checked in Colorado

Colorado has 9 covered cities and 221 listed roofing contractors on PickARoofer. We have not verified licenses in Colorado yet, and a missing badge is not a mark against a contractor. To verify a roofer, look them up on the city's own lookup — such as Denver's ePermit licensee search — or ask for their local license number and confirm it with the building department. A listing without a license number here does not mean the contractor is unlicensed. How the badge works, and what it does not cover: how verification works.
