The Cortez contractor picture

The Cortez file in our Colorado data runs to 198 contractor profiles, 60th among all cities in the state, 110 of them with a lapsed license. 44% of them show an active license on file, below the Colorado-wide figure of 54% for the profiles we hold. Board discipline: 9 Cortez records have a DORA discipline flag (7 electrical, 2 plumbing). 6 belong to licenses that are still active, so a current license alone doesn't rule out past discipline.

Electricians make up the biggest group, with 137 electrical licenses (28 masters, 40 journeymen, 24 residential wiremen) and 61 plumbing licenses (23 masters, 15 journeymen). Most entries are individual tradespeople (135), not companies. Only 19 active electrical contractor and 10 active plumbing contractor registrations are based here, and those are the businesses that can sell electrical or plumbing work to you directly.

Experience runs deep: half of the licensed pros here were first licensed in 1998 or earlier, and 21 active licenses date from before 2000. 14 are new since 2024.
