How This Roof Referral Service Works in Boulder, CO
Homeowners and landlords in Boulder, CO and across Boulder County use this site to reach one independent local roofer about a new roof. You fill in a short form, and that roofer contacts you to plan a visit. The roofing company pays this site a fee for every referral, while you pay nothing and receive nothing.
A Referral Service, Explained
This is a free referral service, and neither a roofing company nor a contractor. It passes each request to a single roofing business that works on its own in the Boulder Valley. That roofer sees the roof, writes the estimate and, if hired, does the job under a contract with you.
Only 47.2% of Boulder homes are lived in by their owners (Census), so many requests come from landlords. The process is the same for both: one form, one roofer, no duty to hire.
What Happens After You Submit
- Send the form. Add your address, how to reach you and a line about the roof.
- One roofer receives it. It goes to one independent roofer working in Boulder County and is not sold on to other companies.
- The roofer sets up a visit. They look over and measure the roof. Plenty of roofers charge nothing for an estimate; confirm that with the roofer first.
- You read the written estimate and decide. Take your time; hiring is your choice.
Who the Roofers Are
This site doesn't name the roofer or vouch for it. Colorado itself issues no roofing license, so licensing is local. For a home within the city, the roofer needs the City's own contractor license in the roofing class (D-2); a license from another place won't count. Unincorporated Boulder County and nearby towns run their own. Before you sign, ask for:
- The license that fits your address. Ask to see it. The City's Contractor Licensing office can confirm a Boulder D-2 license is active.
- Proof of insurance. Liability cover for the business, and workers' comp too when it has staff on the payroll.
- A written contract. Colorado requires one for home roofing over $1,000, with the scope, materials, dates, costs, cancel terms and a deductible statement.
- A fixed local address and references. A real street address and recent nearby jobs say more than a sales pitch.
- Who pulls the permit. The City wants a permit for roofing over one square (100 sq ft); the roofer normally pulls it.
Where This Service Stops
Our part ends once your request reaches the roofer. We don't look at roofs, price jobs, write contracts or take payments, and we stay out of insurance claims. Settling a claim is work for you and your insurer, plus any public adjuster or attorney you bring in on your own. Under a signed contract a Colorado roofer may discuss the repair with your insurer, but it can never serve as your public adjuster.
- No deductible deals. Under Colorado law, a roofer whose pay comes out of an insurance settlement can't advertise or promise that it will cover, forgive or refund your deductible, even in part.
- No gifts or rewards. Nobody here hands out gift cards, rebates, discounts or rewards.
- Room to change your mind. Signing starts a 72-hour clock during which Colorado lets you walk away from the contract. When insurance is paying, a second 72-hour window opens once your insurer's written denial of some or all of the claim reaches you.
