Most of the Idaho Springs list is made up of DORA-licensed tradespeople, specifically 69 electrical licenses (14 masters, 23 journeymen, 7 residential wiremen) and 18 plumbing licenses (7 masters, 2 journeymen). For electrical or plumbing jobs, the business you sign with needs a contractor registration. Idaho Springs has 7 active electrical and 0 active plumbing registrations; the other 56 individual licenses belong to workers, not firms. 2 profiles carry a state board discipline flag (1 plumbing, 1 electrical), 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 1995 or earlier, and 8 active licenses date from before 2000. 3 are new since 2024.
