Gunnison by the numbers

Gunnison ranks 47th among Colorado cities by contractor profiles in HomeProFax, with 228 businesses and licensed tradespeople listed at local addresses, based on state and city license records. Electrical and plumbing licenses, which Colorado issues at the state level, account for 227 of these records: 139 electrical licenses (17 masters, 39 journeymen, 40 residential wiremen) and 88 plumbing licenses (32 masters, 20 journeymen).

Companies are a minority: 19 active electrical contractor and 19 active plumbing contractor registrations, against 153 individual tradespeople. 5 profiles carry a state board discipline flag (4 electrical, 1 plumbing), and 3 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.

About 54% are active, in line with the 54% we see statewide, and 103 records have lapsed. Experience runs deep: half of the licensed pros here were first licensed in 2007 or earlier, and 23 active licenses date from before 2000. 31 are new since 2024.
