What the records show in Golden

With 886 profiles, Golden is the 18th-largest contractor base in our Colorado data, with ZIP 80401 home to the largest share. City license lists add the non-state trades: Arvada (106), Aurora (93) and Thornton (40) list Golden-based contractors, which gives us 21 roofing licenses, 57 general contractor licenses and 23 HVAC/mechanical licenses. Only 48% have an active license today, against 54% statewide, so check the expiry date on every profile you open.

By trade, the DORA records give Golden 554 electrical licenses (117 masters, 237 journeymen, 45 residential wiremen) plus 218 plumbing licenses (60 masters, 91 journeymen). For electrical or plumbing jobs, the business you sign with needs a contractor registration. Golden has 57 active electrical and 29 active plumbing registrations; the other 563 individual licenses belong to workers, not firms. Experience runs deep: half of the licensed pros here were first licensed in 1994 or earlier, and 73 active licenses date from before 2000. 38 are new since 2024.

16 profiles carry a state board discipline flag (9 plumbing, 7 electrical), and 13 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. We matched 16 Golden companies to Colorado Secretary of State filings: 9 in good standing and 7 delinquent or dissolved. A dissolved entity can't back a warranty, so check the status before you sign. The busiest ZIP codes are 80401 (614), 80403 (228), 80402 (34), and 12 ZIPs are represented in total.

517 permits from City of Boulder open data trace back to 10 contractors based in Golden.

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

Storm season in Golden

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).
