Licensing & insurance
Licensed. Insured. Bonded.
And easy to check.
Roofing is one of the easiest trades to do without a license — and one of the most expensive to get wrong. Paramount Roofing is a fully licensed, insured, and bonded New Mexico roofing contractor, and every claim on this page is one you can verify before you ever sign.

The credentials
Every credential, in one place — and checkable.
These aren’t badges we drew ourselves. The license is on the state registry, the insurance is documented, and the manufacturer status was granted by an outside company that audits both quality and coverage. Anything here, you can confirm independently.

Why it matters to you
Hire unlicensed, and the risk doesn't disappear — it lands on you.
A license, insurance, a bond, and a permit aren’t paperwork for its own sake. Each one decides who absorbs the cost when something goes wrong. Skip them, and that someone is the homeowner.
An injury on your property becomes your problem
If an uninsured roofer or one of their crew is hurt on your roof, you can be the one liable for the medical bills. Workers' compensation exists so that risk stays with the contractor — not the homeowner who hired them.
Damaged work has no backstop
If an unlicensed roofer botches the job, takes a deposit and walks, or simply disappears, there's no license to pull and no bond to draw on. You're left paying twice — once for the bad roof, again to have it done right.
Skipped permits surface at the worst time
An unpermitted reroof can fail inspection at resale, give your insurer a reason to deny a future claim, and leave open code violations attached to your address. The corner a contractor cut to save a day becomes a problem you inherit for years.
A warranty you can't actually use
Manufacturer material warranties require a certified, qualified installer — a guarantee from someone who isn't one is worth nothing. Hire the wrong contractor and the paper warranty you were promised won't pay out when you need it.
What it actually means
The plain-English version of each credential.
“Licensed, bonded & insured” gets said a lot. Here’s what each piece does for you specifically — so you know what you’re actually getting, not just the phrase.
01
GS-21 is the roofing classification
New Mexico licenses contractors by trade, and GS-21 is the classification that specifically covers roofing. It means the state has vetted Paramount to do roof work — not a general handyman license stretched to cover a job it was never meant for. Our number is GS-21 #400113, and you can look it up before you ever sign.
02
Two insurance policies, both working for you
We carry general liability insurance, which covers damage to your property, and workers' compensation, which covers our crew if anyone is hurt on your roof. Together they keep the financial risk of an accident on us. A current Certificate of Insurance naming you is available on request — ask and we'll send it.
03
Surety bonded means you're protected if we fail
A surety bond is a financial guarantee held by a third party. If a bonded contractor takes the work and fails to finish it the right way, the bond is there to make the homeowner whole. It's one more layer that puts the risk of non-performance on us instead of on you.
04
Owens Corning vetted us independently
Manufacturers don't hand out Preferred Contractor status. Owens Corning requires proof of insurance and certified installation standards before they'll attach their name to a roofer — so the title is a second, independent check on both our quality and our insurance, done by a company with no reason to vouch for us unless we earned it.
Permitted, every job
We pull the permit — even when no one’s checking.
New Mexico law requires a permit and a final inspection on every reroof. A lot of contractors skip it. We don't — we pull a building permit on every job, no exceptions. That permit protects your insurance coverage, your home's resale value, and you.
How a permit protects you
- Your insurance coverage stays intact — an unpermitted reroof can give a carrier grounds to deny a claim later.
- Your home's resale value holds — open or skipped permits surface during a sale and can stall or shrink a deal.
- A city inspector signs off on the work — an independent check that the roof was done to code, not just to our word.
