At minimum: the license number, a line-item scope of work, material brands and quantities, start and completion windows, payment schedule, and warranty terms for both labor and materials. Vague one-line estimates are the biggest red flag in the Highlands Ranch market.

Policies generally cover sudden, accidental damage — a storm-damaged roof or a burst pipe — but not wear-and-tear or long-deferred maintenance. Coverage terms, deductibles, and exclusions vary widely by carrier and policy, especially in Colorado. Document damage with photos immediately, review your specific policy, and get an independent repair quote before assuming what your claim should cover.

It depends on the project and the local jurisdiction. Roof replacement, water heater swaps, electrical panel work, and structural changes typically require permits in most Colorado municipalities, while like-for-like minor repairs often don't. Permit rules and fees vary by city and county, so confirm with the local building department — and make sure whoever you hire includes permitting in their written scope rather than leaving it to you.

Document the date and take photos of any visible damage, then get an inspection from an established local roofer before filing a claim. Be cautious with out-of-town crews canvassing neighborhoods after storms — verify licensing and local references first. Hail damage isn't always visible from the ground, and claim windows are limited, so don't sit on it.
