Colorado Springs by the numbers

In Colorado Springs, HomeProFax tracks 5,307 contractor profiles, which is the 2nd-highest count for any city in Colorado, and electrical licenses are the largest group. 306 Colorado Springs business licenses sit on city lists (Aurora (180), Arvada (91) and Thornton (35)), the only public record for trades the state doesn't license. That includes 48 roofing licenses, 57 general contractor licenses and 31 HVAC/mechanical licenses.

Electrical and plumbing licenses, which Colorado issues at the state level, account for 5,174 of these records: 3,278 electrical licenses (397 masters, 1,823 journeymen, 323 residential wiremen) and 1,896 plumbing licenses (478 masters, 820 journeymen). That is the 2nd-largest electrical workforce in our Colorado data. Most entries are individual tradespeople (4,018), not companies. Only 283 active electrical contractor and 262 active plumbing contractor registrations are based here, and those are the businesses that can sell electrical or plumbing work to you directly. Board discipline: 160 Colorado Springs records have a DORA discipline flag (90 electrical, 70 plumbing). 93 belong to licenses that are still active, so a current license alone doesn't rule out past discipline.

Across all 5,307 profiles, 2,785 (52%) show an active license and 2,487 an expired one, close to the Colorado average. We matched 72 Colorado Springs companies to Colorado Secretary of State filings: 42 in good standing and 30 delinquent or dissolved. A dissolved entity can't back a warranty, so check the status before you sign.

Experience runs deep: half of the licensed pros here were first licensed in 2005 or earlier, and 355 active licenses date from before 2000. 548 are new since 2024. Profiles cluster in ZIP codes 80907 (536), 80918 (522), 80909 (456), out of 55 ZIPs on file.

Colorado Springs doesn't publish permits in a portal we cover yet, so no permits shown doesn't mean no permits pulled.

Hail, roofs and your contract

Colorado Springs sits on the Front Range, in the heart of "Hail Alley." The Rocky Mountain Insurance Information Association says the region usually sees three or four catastrophic hailstorms a year, and the damaging season runs from mid-April to mid-September. RMIIA lists the July 28, 2016 Colorado Springs storm at $352.8 million in insured losses. After a storm, Colorado law lets you cancel an insurance-paid roofing contract within 72 hours of a written claim denial (C.R.S. 6-22-104), and a roofer may not offer to pay or waive your deductible (C.R.S. 6-22-105).
