How to Select a Aurora Roof Contractor

If you've never hired a roofing company before, we've provided a few helpful hints to help ensure your roof repair or replacement project is completed by a professional.

Simple steps to selecting a quality roofing company in Aurora

1. Contact one or more Aurora roofers and request a roofing estimate.
2. Interview the roofing company representative. If they don't provide it up front, ask for evidence of license and insurance certificates. Also, do they guarantee their workmanship? Is the estimate and the guarantee in writing? If you're getting a complete roof replacement, ask the contractor if they will provide a couple recent homeowner or business owner references from other Aurora re-roofing projects.
3. Contact the references to see if they were happy with the quality of the roof contractor's work
4. Select the contractor that you trust and offers you the best overall value. Value includes quality and price. Don't automatically choose the roofer with the lowest price. There are a lot of "fly-by-night" roofing contractors out there that may provide a low bid and then proceed to provide you poor service and a poorly done roof. Select the contractor that is trustworthy, offers professional credentials, and a fair price.

Which Aurora roofers have professional credentials... like license, insurance, and factory certifications?

Hometown Roofing Contractors has done the initial homework for you. We call our prescreened roofing contractors "Hometown Verified" roofers. We've confirmed that these contractors offer a warranty on their workmanship and we've also screened these roofing companies for the appropriate state license (if required by your state) and liability insurance.

It's still very important to ask for evidence of credentials at the time of your interview with the contractor. Our screening process means the roofer produced a valid Colorado license (if required) and insurance certificates at the time of the screening, but it's possible that the status of the license or insurance could have changed in the meantime. So, it's still recommended to ask to see evidence of the roofers' license and insurance certificates at the time of your estimate.

Along with state licensing requirements, some counties and cities require roofers to be registered or licensed. While Hometown checks for a valid roofing contractors license at the state level, we do not specifically check the roofing contractor licensing requirements of local and county municipalities, so it may be worthwhile to check if Aurora roofing contractors are required to be licensed by the city or Arapahoe County. Roofers that are required to be licensed by the state or local governments should be able to produce a certificate of their license at the time of the estimate.

It's also important to note that a roofing license or contractors license does not guarantee quality workmanship. A roofers willingness to provide a few recent references from completed projects and your follow up with those references will be helpful in determining the quality of a particular roofers work.
