The roofing industry touches your project in three ways: the building code your city enforces, the credentials and license your contractor holds, and the training behind the person who inspects your roof. Codes change by jurisdiction. Denver, for example, requires a permit when a repair covers more than 10% of the roof or two squares, whichever is smaller, and sets minimum shingle wind ratings by zone. Credentials and training only matter if you can verify them. These guides explain each piece so you can hold any roofer, including us, to it.

- Denver Roofing Codes: What the City Requires for Your Roof covers repair permits, wind zones by street, layers and decking.
