Roofing Companies in Englewood, CO — How to Choose
To choose among roofing companies in Englewood, verify five things before price ever comes up: registration with the City of Englewood's permit office, current insurance certificates, a physical Colorado address, a written workmanship warranty, and correct answers on Colorado's roofing statutes. Red Hawk Roofing is headquartered in Englewood and inspects free.
Englewood is Red Hawk Roofing's home city — our headquarters sits at 3535 S Platte River Dr, a few minutes from every neighborhood we list below. That makes this page unusual: we are one of the companies you would be comparing, and we are still going to hand you the vetting checklist first. A homeowner who verifies every contractor ends up with a better roof no matter whose name is on the contract, and verification is a test we are happy to be graded on.
The checklist matters in Englewood specifically because so much of the housing stock is mid-century. Tear-offs in Bates Logan Park and Centennial Acres routinely expose plank decking with gaps, delamination from old leaks, and cracked rafters at hips and valleys — the places where a corner-cutting crew simply lays new shingles over problems and leaves. The company you pick needs to be one that itemizes what the tear-off reveals instead of burying it.
The Checklist
What to Verify About Any Roofer in Englewood
Run every bidder through all six — including us. This list works no matter whose truck ends up in your driveway.
Permit registration with the City of Englewood
Every tear-off and reroof inside city limits needs a building permit from Community Development at 1000 Englewood Pkwy, and only a contractor registered with the city can pull one. Colorado has no statewide roofing license — roofing is regulated at the municipal level — so this registration is the closest thing to a license check that exists here. A roofer who asks you to pull your own permit is dodging that check.
Certificates of insurance, sent by the insurer
Ask for general liability and workers' compensation certificates delivered directly from the insurance carrier or agent, not photocopies from a sales binder. If an uninsured crew member is hurt on your Englewood roof, the claim can land on your homeowner's policy.
A physical Colorado address you can visit
Not a P.O. box, not a phone number that reroutes out of state. Red Hawk's is 3535 S Platte River Dr Unit A, right here in Englewood — hold every company you talk to to the same standard, because the crews that vanish after storm season never have one.
A workmanship warranty in writing
Manufacturer warranties cover the shingle; only a workmanship warranty covers the installation, and installation is where roofs actually fail. Get the term and the coverage on paper before you sign, and note who stands behind it if the company's phone stops ringing.
References from Englewood streets, not stock photos
Ask for recent addresses in Bates Logan Park, Centennial Acres, or Cherry Hills Vista and drive past them. On older Englewood homes, also ask how the contractor handled decking discovered during tear-off — the answer tells you whether surprises get documented or shingled over.
Statute literacy — two questions that sort the field
Ask two questions before signing anything. One: "If my insurer denies the claim, can I cancel?" The correct answer is yes — C.R.S. 6-22-104 gives you 72 hours after a written denial to rescind and get your payments back. Two: "Can you help with my deductible?" The only correct answer is no — C.R.S. 6-22-105 prohibits a roofing contractor from paying, waiving, or rebating any part of it. A contractor who gets either wrong is telling you how they treat inconvenient rules.
Our Case
Why Englewood Homeowners Choose Red Hawk
Englewood is not a market we serve — it is where the company physically lives. Dispatch, estimating, project management, and material staging all run out of the S Platte River Dr headquarters, so an Englewood job is never more than a short drive from the people responsible for it. The Englewood office line is answered locally, and the listing carries 58 Google reviews at a 4.9 rating.
The hail record justifies the caution: NOAA and NWS data show 5 documented hail days within 10 miles of city center since 2021, including 2-inch hail measured on the ground by NWS storm spotters on June 22, 2023. Red Hawk is licensed and insured, backs every installation with a 5-Year Workmanship Warranty, is the official roofing partner of the Colorado Avalanche and Denver Nuggets, and starts every Englewood roof the same way — a free, no-obligation, photo-documented inspection.
Roofing Company Questions in Englewood
Confirm the contractor is registered to pull permits with City of Englewood Community Development at 1000 Englewood Pkwy, request insurance certificates directly from their carrier, and confirm a physical Colorado address. Then ask about your cancellation rights under C.R.S. 6-22-104 and deductible rules under C.R.S. 6-22-105 — a legitimate Colorado roofer answers both without hesitating.
A complete inspection covers shingles, flashing, gutters, downspouts, AC fins, and window screens — the soft metals that date hail strikes — plus attic ventilation and, on Englewood's mid-century homes, a hard look at decking condition. You should receive dated photos and a written report you could hand to an insurance adjuster, at no cost and with no obligation.
City of Englewood Community Development at 1000 Englewood Pkwy issues the permit for every tear-off and reroof inside city limits, with review typically running 3–7 business days. Unincorporated pockets around the city permit through Arapahoe County instead. Red Hawk pulls the permit and schedules the final inspection on every job — homeowners never file paperwork.
Yes — sudden storm damage is exactly what the policy exists for, and Englewood has 5 documented hail days near city center since 2021 in NOAA and NWS records. Your deductible remains your responsibility by law (C.R.S. 6-22-105), and if the insurer denies the claim you may rescind a roofing contract within 72 hours of the written denial (C.R.S. 6-22-104). Red Hawk documents damage in adjuster-ready format and can meet the adjuster on-site.
