AG roofing is locally owned with a staff of highly experienced industry professionals who excel at performing roof replacements and roof repairs on a wide variety of systems and products. We provide quality craftsmanship, competitive prices, superior service and enduring peace of mind. Upgrades to existing roof systems are standard practice on our installations, often allowing us to create improved curb appeal, resale value, ventilation, and even utility bill savings for our customers in addition to their new roof system. Our service area consists of the greater Denver Metro area and throughout the Colorado Front Range.

We install all types of asphalt composition shingles including architectural (otherwise known as dimensional or laminate shingles), shake-style and slate-style shingles, as well as cedar shakes, tile, composite, stone-coated steel and metal roofs. Our organization is continually participating in ongoing education, certification, licensing and training on a wide variety of installations to ensure that we are able to offer the most cutting-edge products and systems with optimum quality of installation and service. Our status as a certified and preferred contractor for multiple manufacturers allows us to provide extended warranties and peace of mind that are only available to an exclusive minority of roofing contractors.

The Insurance Process

In the event of damage caused by local storms…We are insurance claim specialists and provide expert storm damage restoration.

Our professional Client Representatives will help you through the insurance process. We will strive to insure that your insurance company will settle your claim efficiently and effectively while minimizing hassle and headache. In addition to working with all municipal and county inspectors, we perform our own internal inspections of our installations as part of our commitment to deliver what we promise.

AG Roofing was founded with a collective understanding of the value of integrity and honesty,
and we endeavor to maintain the continued application of these principles in all of our affairs.

Storm damaged roofs are our specialty. We offer free inspections and representation with insurance adjusters to help assure accurate compensation from insurance claims, and are experienced and well qualified to settle claims with all insurance companies. Our goal is to minimize out-of-pocket expense and hassle while maximizing value and benefit for our customers on every insurance claim in which we participate. Our quotes often include an assortment of roofing upgrades and, since we are a certified installer, extended manufacturer warranties without exceeding negotiated insurance claim amounts!  We know that by offering the best value to all of our customers, we receive more referrals than if we cut corners at the expense of those that entrust us to perform work on their roof system. An insurance company will have a group of highly trained professionals representing their interests, and we believe that all of our customers are entitled to the same.

What We Install and Maintain

Shingles
We install all types of asphalt composition shingles including laminated-architectural, slate, and shake-style shingles, and work with wood shakes, tile, stone-coated steel and metal roofs. 

Gutters
We offer quality gutters, vinyl siding or exterior paint finish.

Insulation
Many homes lose 40% or more of their conditioned air through the attic, causing discomfort and unnecessarily high heating/cooling bills. Most attics are not properly insulated; call us today for a free evaluation!

Windows
Our certified craftsmen replace windows of any size or style made from vinyl, aluminum, wood or fiberglass, along with matching sliding or French doors. Ask how yours can be made more energy-efficient!

Understanding the insurance process when repairing or replacing a roof

A word from AG Roofing,

The most important things for a homeowner to do while choosing a contractor are as follows:

• Interview companies until you find someone you feel comfortable with.

• Get the contractor’s supplier list and call those suppliers to check to see that they pay for materials in a timely manner.

Our roofing supplier - American Roofing Supply -  303.333.3700

• Check out the company's references...call some past clients.

We supply references to all of our prospective customers.

• Choose a local contractor. How is an out-of-state company going be able to serve you or honor their warranty?

• Check with the BBB over the phone or website. The BBB tracks complaints in a fair manner.

All BBB accredited businesses have agreed to submit to arbitration  - AG Roofing is a proud Denver BBB Gold Star Award recipient because our customers' best interests comes before our own.

• Ask the contractor if the profit in the job is sufficient to do a quality job, with quality materials, and quality workmanship, without cutting corners.

• Ask if the contractor can show proof of insurance.

In the event of weather damage…

Hire the company of choice and let them work with you and your insurance company through the insurance process.

Colorado law clearly allows homeowner’s sole choice of their own contractor, and clearly prohibits the insurance companies from having an active part in that choice whether directly or indirectly.

Getting three bids, and submitting them into the insurance company often hurts homeowners by limiting the amount the insurance company is willing to pay, and can limit homeowners to only the contractors who give the lowest bids.

Possible supplements to insurance claims...

•    Permit costs are added to the claim upon final invoicing as long as the contractor includes a copy of the city municipality  invoice for the permit.

•    Corrections to the claim affecting Job Scope, such as math errors, omitted items, CODE upgrade issues must all be PRE-APPROVED by the insurance company, prior to work starting. These are supplemented for via fax, phone or email sent from the contractor to the insurance.

The insurance companies will not pay for these without pre-approving the amount prior to beginning the job. Sometimes the supplement process takes several steps, digital photos, product spec sheets, copies of code requirements, faxes, and phone calls.

•     Multiple shingle layers - since it is generally understood that counting the pre-existing number of shingle layers is difficult, the insurance companies allow us to photograph unclaimed layers while work is in process, and email those images in for supplement. This is pretty common as flashing can hide layers, and some homes have different numbers of layers on certain parts of the roof. As long as we can show the true number in photos, the insurance companies will allow for additional funds for the removal of those layers. The manufactures' specifications and most city code requirements require those layers be torn off.

•     Overhead and Profit: Colorado law states that in certain claims, the insurance companies are required to pay 10% overhead and 10% profit for General Contracting.  Generally we only bill for items which are additional to roof and gutters like windows, paint, siding, HVAC, etc...

We always get insurance approval prior to work start, but sometimes insurance companies will not approve overhead and profit until completion, and the submittal of invoices.

•   Final invoicing - The insurance company will only pay for the amount they approved during the supplement process. We are very careful that our BALANCE DUE matches the final amount that the insurance company has already approved.

I think a common misunderstanding is that some contractors over bill the insurance. BUT, the insurance companies only pay the amount that they have approved ahead of time (except multiple shingle layer tear off).

I hope that homeowners can be served by better understanding how the insurance process actually works.

 
Thanks for your time.

Things to Consider When Selecting A Contractor

Are they local? Dealing with out-of-town companies could result in having a warranty not worth the paper it was written on. Make sure that you only deal with Colorado residents and be cautious of companies that represent themselves as national organizations, as these are often storm-chasing companies that only stay in town until a larger storm happens somewhere else.

Are they insured? General liability insurance is not carried by everyone who claims to have it, so always ask to see proof of the policy and look for evidence of workman’s compensation. A company without the proper coverage could put the property owner at risk.

Are they licensed? Most areas require a licensed contractor to provide a building permit for roofing work. Never allow a contractor to do a job "under the radar" as the job could be shut down by a building inspector and corners are often cut during the job without that accountability.

How detailed is their estimate? Anyone who is worth contracting to perform work should know the details of the installation and the products inside and out. A company that does not provide a descriptive quote and informative presentation is prone to taking shortcuts or missing key details that could cause a subpar installation.

Are they a member of the Better Business Bureau? A company with multiple complaints or one who is not a member at all does not demonstrate the best reputation. Just as references are a positive indication of past performance, negative feedback from others is an indicator of what one can expect of a future experience.

Are they certified? Manufacturers allow only their certified installers to offer the best warranties. They also have their own standards and requirements, which can help a consumer discern which company is a qualified contractor.

Are they reliable? Prompt, reliable service should not be too much to ask for. If a company is unable to keep their appointments or does not have availability to meet at the property, perhaps an estimate from another company is in order. Professional and respectful treatment should be mandatory from anyone worth dealing with.

Are they willing to provide upgrades? There is usually room for improvement from the original installation. A company should be willing and able to discuss available upgrades instead of presuming that the bare-bones version will be sufficient. Be sure to get educated on current options and product details before making a commitment.
