Permits and the wildfire code in Central City

Homes inside Central City need a city permit, and historic district properties may need design review first. Homes outside city limits go through Gilpin County.

Gilpin County adopted its own WUI map that covers most of the county. Expect Class A roofing requirements; we confirm with the county or city when we pull the permit. Check your address or read our guide to Colorado's wildfire roofing code.

Insurance claims for Central City homeowners

We meet your adjuster on the roof and document the damage with photos. Once you hire us, we discuss the repair scope with your insurer and submit supplements for code items and materials the first estimate missed; you stay in charge of your claim. Colorado law gives you 72 hours to cancel a roofing contract after your insurer denies the claim, and it bars roofers from paying or waiving your deductible. See our after-the-storm checklist and our guide to insurance supplements.
