WestPro vs Josh Brooks Construction and Renovation Inc. — Full-Service vs Exterior-Only Comparison

WestPro is a well-known name in Northern Colorado contracting, recognized as a GAF Master Elite and James Hardie Elite Preferred contractor. If you’ve gotten a quote from WestPro and are comparing your options, this is a straightforward breakdown of what each company offers — and where the differences matter most.

What WestPro Does Well

WestPro has built a strong reputation for exterior work — roofing and siding specifically. Their GAF Master Elite certification means they can offer the highest-tier GAF warranty (Golden Pledge), and their James Hardie Elite Preferred status means they’ve met Hardie’s training and volume requirements. If exterior-only is what you need and you want those specific manufacturer certifications, WestPro is a legitimate contractor to consider.

Where Josh Brooks Construction and Renovation Inc. Is Different

The core difference: WestPro is an exterior-only contractor. Josh Brooks Construction and Renovation Inc. is a full-service general contractor. That distinction matters enormously in several scenarios:

• After a major hailstorm: Hail doesn’t just hit your roof and siding. It hits your gutters, windows, doors, and sometimes causes interior water damage. Josh Brooks documents and manages ALL of it — one claim, one contractor, one schedule.
• When you want interior work too: WestPro can’t help you with your kitchen, basement, deck, or bathroom. Josh Brooks can handle your entire home renovation under one contract.
• When you want a long-term contractor relationship: We’re your one call for everything — now and for every project in the future.

James Hardie Siding — Josh Brooks Is Also an Authorized Installer

Josh Brooks Construction and Renovation Inc. is an authorized James Hardie installer serving all of Northern Colorado. We install HardiePlank lap siding, HardiePanel vertical siding, HardieShingle, and ColorPlus pre-finished products.

The Bottom Line

Both companies are legitimate. The question is: do you need roofing and siding only, or do you want a contractor who can handle your entire home? If it’s the latter, Josh Brooks Construction and Renovation Inc. is the only full-service option in Longmont.
