The Erie contractor picture

Erie ranks 43rd among Colorado cities by contractor profiles in HomeProFax, with 254 businesses and licensed tradespeople listed at local addresses, 83 of them with a lapsed license. Roofers, general contractors and HVAC firms aren't state-licensed in Colorado, so they show up only through city license lists. 69 Erie-based profiles appear on the lists we hold (Arvada (27), Thornton (21) and Aurora (21)), including 5 roofing licenses, 12 general contractor licenses and 4 HVAC/mechanical licenses.

An unusually high 67% show an active license, compared with 54% across Colorado. Electrical and plumbing licenses, which Colorado issues at the state level, account for 224 of these records: 164 electrical licenses (32 masters, 82 journeymen, 14 residential wiremen) and 60 plumbing licenses (24 masters, 16 journeymen). 8 profiles carry a state board discipline flag (6 electrical, 2 plumbing), and 4 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.

For electrical or plumbing jobs, the business you sign with needs a contractor registration. Erie has 21 active electrical and 11 active plumbing registrations; the other 171 individual licenses belong to workers, not firms. Experience runs deep: half of the licensed pros here were first licensed in 2007 or earlier, and 30 active licenses date from before 2000. 19 are new since 2024.

We matched 11 Erie companies to Colorado Secretary of State filings: 7 in good standing and 4 delinquent or dissolved. A dissolved entity can't back a warranty, so check the status before you sign. Profiles cluster in ZIP codes 80516 (252), 80513 (1), 80026 (1), out of 3 ZIPs on file.

280 permits from City of Boulder open data trace back to 1 contractors based in Erie. The leaders are First Call Electric & Fire, Inc. (280). The newest is dated 2026-09-18, and at least 19 were issued in the past year. Most are fire permit (100). These are jobs these firms did in Boulder or Denver. Erie doesn't publish permits in a portal we cover yet, so no permits shown doesn't mean no permits pulled.

Who licenses contractors in Erie

Local authority: Town of Erie Building Division. What we verified on official pages (Oct 2026):

• Erie licenses contractors through its eTRAKiT portal, and the contractor account itself serves as the license. (source)
• Erie general contractor classes A–C provide the matching ICC exam result. Plumbing and electrical applicants provide current Colorado contractor and master licenses, plus $1 million liability naming the Town. (source)

Electricians and plumbers are also licensed statewide by the DORA State Electrical Board and the DORA State Plumbing Board. Rules and fees change, so confirm with the department before you sign.

Storm season in Erie

Per the RMIIA, Colorado's Front Range gets the highest frequency of large hail in North America, with three or four storms a year causing at least $25 million in insured damage. If a roofer knocks on your door after hail, two state rules apply: you can rescind an insurance-funded roofing contract within 72 hours of a written denial (C.R.S. 6-22-104), and promising to cover your deductible is illegal (C.R.S. 6-22-105).
