Scope of Project
Insurance approval took several days. Submission of damaged shingles images and a visual inspection by the Insurance Adjuster cleared the way for approval for a full roof replacement. Once things were finalized with the insurance company, the roofing contractor had to navigate around some of the materials shortages that were occurring industry-wide on shingles. The contractor secured the requested materials and scheduled the work.
Roofing Permits and Licensing In Aurora, CO
All licensing was confirmed immediately to avoid any delays in getting the required city permit for construction. After the roof installation, the final city inspection of the roof was scheduled. This was completed the day after the roof was completed. This quickly closed out the permit, along with closing out the insurance approval for the release of all funds. The customer reported a very smooth process with no issues.
Contractor Notes
“Alice contacted us to inspect her roof for hail damage. We inspected and confirmed there was hail damage. We walked her through the insurance process, met with her adjuster, and navigated the claim with her. Once she fully understood the process, she selected the shingle color, and we scheduled the work. With the roof fully installed and the city inspection approving the work, we finalized payment with her insurance company to release the remaining funds to her. She was very satisfied.”

Client Review Published on Google
“New Roof Plus replaced our roof after it took hail damage during a large storm. It was our first time getting a roof replaced. Greg helped us navigate the insurance and installation process and took the time to answer all of our questions in detail. The whole team was very responsive, kind, and professional. Stefan was also great and made sure we were fully satisfied with everything. The installation was fast. Our new roof and gutter guards look amazing! We’re very happy with how the project turned out. It’s also a big relief knowing that Greg installed hail-resistant shingles, so our roof will be safer in upcoming storms. Thank you!
