What the records show in Fountain

Fountain ranks 44th among Colorado cities by contractor profiles in HomeProFax, with 249 businesses and licensed tradespeople listed at local addresses, 99 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. 7 Fountain-based profiles appear on the lists we hold (Aurora (7)), including 1 roofing license and 1 HVAC/mechanical license.

The roster is mostly state-licensed trades: 166 electrical licenses (15 masters, 94 journeymen, 21 residential wiremen) and 81 plumbing licenses (22 masters, 38 journeymen), all from the DORA rosters. 196 profiles are individual license holders rather than companies. The company on your contract should be one of the 18 active electrical or 8 active plumbing contractors, or a registered firm from a nearby city.

7 profiles carry a state board discipline flag (4 electrical, 3 plumbing), and 1 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 2009 or earlier, and 17 active licenses date from before 2000. 29 are new since 2024.

Across all 249 profiles, 148 (59%) show an active license and 99 an expired one, close to the Colorado average. We matched 6 Fountain companies to Colorado Secretary of State filings: 2 in good standing and 4 delinquent or dissolved. A dissolved entity can't back a warranty, so check the status before you sign.

• PPRBD requires an active PPRBD license to get permits and doesn't accept licenses from other building departments. (source)

Hail, roofs and your contract

Fountain 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).
