About HM & getting started
Who we are and how to start.
Yes — fully licensed and insured in Utah. We’re a DBA of HMCO LLC. Utah DOPL #14145194-5501. Always verify any contractor on Utah’s DOPL website; storm-chasing out-of-state crews put you personally at risk.
We’re based at 180 N University Ave #270 in Provo. We’ve been roofing Utah since 2013 — Wasatch Front, Central Utah, and the St. George area. Same local crew standard across Utah County (Provo, Orem, Lehi, and neighbors). See our service areas or contact us if you’re not sure we cover your address.
Yes — financing plans are available. Ask us during your free inspection and we’ll walk you through current options and terms.
Yes — we coordinate related trades like custom gutters and solar so everything happens once, in the right order.
Use the official Utah DOPL Licensee Lookup at https://secure.utah.gov/llv/search/index.html. Search the license number, or the legal business name if that is all you have. Confirm the status is Active and the name matches the company on the contract. A truck magnet is not a license.
Utah DOPL #14145194-5501. The licensed entity is HMCO LLC. HM Roofing is the DBA. Office: 180 N University Ave #270, Provo, UT 84601. We have been roofing Utah since 2013.
No. A license is the state record that the contractor is licensed. You still want a written scope, photos of what they find, and a clear answer on repair versus replacement.
Ask for the Utah DOPL license number and look it up. Ask who is on the crew, whether you will get photos, whether the honest fix is repair or replacement, and what is in the written scope. If it is a storm or insurance job, ask what they document. Do not sign away your claim before the carrier has looked.
Roof replacement
What a full roof job looks like.
Full process on roof replacement.
Roof repair
Leaks, shingles, and when to claim.
Leak and patch work on roof repair.
Small flashing or shingle repairs sit at the low end; larger work involving decking or valleys runs more. Firm number after inspection — and if a repair won’t solve the problem, we’ll say so. See roof repair for how we approach leaks and storm damage.
Not always. A small repair below your deductible isn’t worth a claim on your record. If damage is widespread, a claim may cover full replacement. We inspect first and tell you which situation you’re in.
Usually yes, or close — we work with major manufacturers’ current and legacy lines, and show you the match before work starts.
For active leaks, call us directly at 801-642-4462.
Yes. East-bench cities such as Provo, Pleasant Grove, and American Fork see canyon wind. Eagle Mountain and Saratoga Springs see more open-valley wind. Ask how the roofer handles edge metal, flashing, and ventilation on your house, not a generic “we do Utah.”
Storm & insurance claims
Hail, wind, and the adjuster visit.
Claim help on storm damage & insurance claims.
Almost always yes, for sudden hail or wind damage. Most Utah policies cover it — but you typically have about 12 months to file, and documentation decides claims. The dispute is rarely “covered or not” — it’s “how much damage is there,” which is why we inspect and document before you call your insurer. Details on storm damage & insurance claims.
Most policies require filing within about 12 months of the date of loss — some less. Check your policy’s “duties after loss” section, and don’t wait.
A single weather claim usually has less impact than people fear. But a denied claim still appears in your history — which is why we inspect before you file.
You can request a re-inspection with your contractor present, submit supplemental documentation, or invoke appraisal under your policy. Our documentation is built to support exactly that.
We provide the inspection report, scope documentation, and meet your adjuster. You file the claim (it’s your policy), but you’re never doing it alone.
No. A roofer can inspect and photograph damage and explain what repair or replacement would take. Your insurer decides coverage under the policy. Do not hire anyone who tells you to sign a check over or promises to waive what your policy says you owe.
