Why these 7 questions
Most bad roofing jobs come down to a few things nobody asked about: a missing license, no insurance, no permit, or a cheap quote that left out the decking. These 7 questions cover all of them.
Ask them to every roofer you talk to, including us.
What you’ll be able to do with it
You’ll know which roofers can show a city license and an insurance certificate. You’ll see whose quote leaves out the permit or the decking price. And you’ll have every answer in one table, so the choice is easy.
Dave and Linda in Lakewood compared three quotes this way. Ours was the only one that listed every line.
Questions homeowners ask
What is the most important question to ask a roofer?
Ask whether they're licensed in your city and can show you the license. Colorado has no statewide roofing license, so the city license is the real check. Denver and Aurora both license roofing contractors.
