As a general contractor, you are only as good as the subs you bring onto the job. Your client doesn't see the roofing company, the siding crew, or the gutter installer. They see you. When a sub misses a day, cuts a corner, or leaves a mess, it's your phone that rings and your reputation on the line.
At Excel Roofing, we know our job is to make you look good. We work as a reliable subcontractor for general contractors on remodels, additions, insurance restoration, and residential and commercial projects, handling roofing, windows, siding, and gutters. Every GC we work with gets a dedicated crew and a dedicated project manager. Here is why general contractors across the Denver metro and Wyoming trust us with their exterior scope.
From projects in Denver, Aurora, Lakewood, Englewood, and Littleton to jobs in Colorado Springs, Sheridan, and Casper, our team serves general contractors throughout the Denver metro and Wyoming.

What Keeps General Contractors Up at Night
Running a job means managing your client, your schedule, your budget, and every trade on site. The subs that cause the most trouble usually cause it in the same ways. Here is what we hear from GCs most often:
- Subs who don't answer the phone. You need an update for your client and can't get one.
- Missed start dates. One late trade pushes back everyone behind it.
- Bids that grow mid-project. Surprise costs you can't pass on to your client without damaging the relationship.
- Sloppy job sites. Debris, nails, and damage that you end up cleaning up or paying to fix.
- Missing paperwork. Chasing certificates of insurance and documentation at the worst possible time.
- Workmanship problems that come back to you. Leaks and punch-list items that land on your warranty and your reputation.
We Work for You, and We Protect Your Client Relationship
When we are on your job, we represent your company. Our crews are professional and respectful with your clients, and we keep communication flowing through you so you stay in control of the project and the relationship. Your client is your client.
Clear Bids and Paperwork Without the Chase
We provide detailed, itemized bids so you can price your job accurately and pass clear numbers to your client. If the scope changes once work begins, such as damaged decking discovered during tear-off, we document it with photos and price it before we proceed. We provide certificates of insurance and the project documentation you need for your files, your client, or your lender.
On Schedule and On Site
Your dedicated project manager coordinates our work with your schedule, confirms start dates ahead of time, and keeps you updated from start to finish. Our crews show up when we say they will, work efficiently, and leave the site clean and ready for the next trade.
The Top Questions GCs Ask Before Hiring a Roofing Subcontractor (and How We Answer Them)
1. Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Excel Roofing is fully licensed and insured, and we will provide certificates of insurance for your files, your client, or the project owner.
2. Will you deal directly with my client?
Only as much as you want us to. We keep you in the loop on everything and respect that the client relationship belongs to you.
3. How do you handle change orders?
If we find something unexpected, like rotted decking or hidden damage, we document it with photos, explain it, and price it before we do the work. You are never surprised on the invoice.
4. Can you meet my schedule?
Share your timeline and we will plan around it. Your project manager confirms dates ahead of time and keeps you updated so the trades after us stay on track.
5. Who do I call with a question?
Your dedicated project manager is your single point of contact for every job you send us.
6. Will the same crew be on my jobs?
Yes. We assign a dedicated crew that gets to know your standards, so you get consistent workmanship from project to project.
7. Do you help with insurance restoration work?
Yes. We handle storm and hail damage repairs and replacements and can help navigate the insurance claim process on restoration projects.
8. Can you take the whole exterior scope?
Yes. We handle roofing, windows, siding, and gutters, so you can hand off the full exterior to one sub.
One Subcontractor for Roofing, Windows, Siding, and Gutters
Every extra sub on a project is another schedule to manage, another contract, and another person to chase. Excel Roofing takes the full exterior off your plate:
- Roofing: replacements, repairs, new installations, and storm and hail damage restoration.
- Windows: replacement and new window installation for remodels and additions.
- Siding: repairs, replacements, and new siding that ties additions into the existing home.
- Gutters: new gutter systems and repairs to protect the structure and finish the job right.
One sub, one project manager, one schedule, and one invoice for the whole exterior.
