The Buena Vista contractor picture

Buena Vista ranks 74th among Colorado cities by contractor profiles in HomeProFax, with 160 businesses and licensed tradespeople listed at local addresses, with ZIP 81211 home to the largest share. Only 44% have an active license today, against 54% statewide, so check the expiry date on every profile you open.

Electrical and plumbing licenses, which Colorado issues at the state level, account for 159 of these records: 93 electrical licenses (18 masters, 27 journeymen, 14 residential wiremen) and 66 plumbing licenses (17 masters, 17 journeymen). 104 profiles are individual license holders rather than companies. The company on your contract should be one of the 10 active electrical or 13 active plumbing contractors, or a registered firm from a nearby city. 4 profiles carry a state board discipline flag (4 plumbing), and 3 of those licenses are still active. A flag can mean anything from a paperwork lapse to a serious finding, so read the board record behind it.

Experience runs deep: half of the licensed pros here were first licensed in 2002 or earlier, and 16 active licenses date from before 2000. 10 are new since 2024.

HomeProFax profiles with a Buena Vista address, built from DORA electrical and plumbing rosters, the Aurora, Arvada and Thornton contractor license lists, Colorado Secretary of State filings and Boulder/Denver open permit data. Counts as of Oct 24, 2026.

Rather than checking each agency yourself, ask the contractor for their verified HomeProFax report. It covers license, discipline, permits and business standing in one link.
