Castle Rock Contractor Dave Sonner Joins Forces with Local Roofers to Protect Homeowners During Hail Season
Castle Rock, CO — As hailstorms roll into Douglas County, trusted local roofing professionals are stepping up. Leading the charge is longtime Castle Rock contractor Dave Sonner of Sonners Contracting Inc., who has officially launched the Castle Rock Roofing Contractors Association: a coalition of licensed, insured, and community-rooted roofing companies committed to protecting residents from roofing scams and out-of-town “storm chasers.”
“We’re not just roofing companies — we’re neighbors, parents, and community members,” said Dave Sonner. “And we’re tired of seeing Castle Rock homeowners taken advantage of.”
Hail Season Brings Out the Worst
When hail hits Castle Rock, it doesn’t just damage roofs — it opens the door for bad actors. Storm chasers, unlicensed contractors, and uninsured roofers flood the area, knocking on doors and offering “free inspections” with promises that sound too good to be true.
Many of these solicitors are not registered with the Town of Castle Rock and are actively violating neighborhood “Do Not Knock” rules. Some even pose as insurance adjusters or pressure residents into signing contracts on the spot. Their goal? Lock in jobs before homeowners have time to verify their legitimacy.
If someone knocks on your door unsolicited after a storm — especially in a neighborhood registered with the Town of Castle Rock’s “Do Not Solicit” list — report it. You could help stop a scam before it spreads.

Common Roofing Scams to Watch Out For
Scam artists often use high-pressure tactics and false promises to rush homeowners into signing roofing contracts without doing proper due diligence. Here are some of the most common tricks storm chasers use in Castle Rock:
- “We’re working on your neighbor’s roof” – used to gain trust and fake credibility.
- “We’ll cover your deductible” – sounds helpful, but it’s often illegal and a red flag.
- “You need to sign this today” – high-pressure sales tactics to trap you before you can verify licensing or insurance.
- “We’re from your insurance company” – impersonation scam. Actual adjusters do not solicit door to door.
- “We don’t need a permit” – permits are required for roof replacements in Castle Rock. No permit = no inspection = unsafe work.
- “Cash only discounts” – often a tactic used by unlicensed or disappearing contractors.
These scams can lead to incomplete work, denied insurance claims, or thousands in unexpected costs. The Castle Rock Roofing Contractors Association exists to combat this — with verified, transparent, and locally accountable professionals.
