What the records show in Federal Heights

Electrical and plumbing licenses, which Colorado issues at the state level, account for 73 of these records: 47 electrical licenses (6 masters, 30 journeymen, 6 residential wiremen) and 26 plumbing licenses (4 masters, 12 journeymen).

Storm season in Federal Heights

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. Eight of the twelve costliest Colorado hailstorms on RMIIA's list were centered on the Denver metro, led by the May 8, 2017 storm at $2.3 billion in insured losses. 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).
