Dependable Roofing Contractor in Greeley, CO

Apex Roofing does. It is a Colorado roofing contractor working across the Front Range and Northern Colorado since 2010, and a GAF Certified Roofing Contractor, GAF ID 1005038. Apex Roofing inspects the usual Greeley trouble spots, including hail-bruised shingles, wind-lifted edges at rakes and ridges, worn step flashing and pipe boots, low-slope sections holding water, and dented or out-of-pitch gutters, then explains the practical fix before any work starts.

From January 1, 2027, yes. The city gave notice in August 2026 that contractors must hold a City of Greeley contractor license before applying for permits or beginning work, and that a contractor without one may have a permit denied or be ordered to stop work. The roofing process section above covers what that means for a project in progress. The practical points to add here: the rule covers specialty trades and not only general contractors, you can ask to see proof at any point during the job, and if you are planning a spring 2027 reroof it is a fair question to ask now rather than in March.

Your contractor does, and that is the answer worth knowing. The roofing process section above covers when a permit is required and what the code triggers. What matters here is: the permit is the contractor’s responsibility to apply for, not yours, and a roofer who asks you to pull your own permit is telling you something about their standing with the city. Applications go through the city’s eTRAKiT portal. Current requirements are published in the City of Greeley’s building permit and inspection requirements.

It depends on the parcel, not the postmark. Properties inside the city limits are permitted by City of Greeley Building Inspection at 1100 10th Street. Properties outside the limits with Greeley mailing addresses fall to the Weld County Building Inspection Division, which requires a separate permit for each building or structure on the property. It matters because the two departments run different processes and different portals, and because the city’s contractor licensing requirement is a city rule. Apex Roofing confirms which one governs your address before quoting.

There is no honest single number, because the price follows the roof rather than the city. Size, pitch, access, the number of layers to remove, deck condition once the old roof is off, the material and its wind rating, the flashing and penetration count, and gutter work all move the figure. Two things push a Greeley project above a straight like-for-like estimate: a second layer that only shows up at tear-off, and code items such as edge metal that the original roof may never have had. A free inspection with a written scope is the only way to get a real number, and a bid quoted over the phone without one is a guess. If the damage is storm related, the claim conversation runs alongside this, and our insurance claims process page covers how that works.

Start with licensing, because from January 2027 it is checkable here in a way it has not been before. Ask whether the contractor holds a City of Greeley contractor license, and verify it with the city rather than taking the answer on trust. Then check four things. Will they apply for the permit and post the card. Will they inspect and photograph before they quote, or did they arrive with a price already in mind. Is there a written contract, which Colorado’s residential roofing contract statute requires along with a 72-hour cancellation right and a statement that the contractor cannot pay, waive, or rebate your deductible. And is the labor warranty in writing. Apex Roofing provides a 5-year labor warranty on new roofs.
