QUESTION:  Can I apply for a building permit online?

ANSWER:  Yes.  Go to the PPRBD web site, and it will give you information on how you can purchase a permit online. 

QUESTION:   I had a contractor knock on my door and said that my roof was damaged; and then he gave me an estimate of what it would cost to fix it.   How do I know if this contractor is legitimate?

ANSWER:  First of all, it’s always good to get a second opinion from another contractor, and you may also want to call your insurance company and have them send out an adjuster to look at your roof.   Second, you can contact the Regional Building Department, 719-327-2880, and see if the company is licensed to do business in the area.
