The Lakewood contractor picture

2,449: that is how many contractor and tradesperson records in our Colorado database carry a Lakewood address, enough for 6th place among the state's cities, 1,216 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. 412 Lakewood-based profiles appear on the lists we hold (Aurora (184), Arvada (167) and Thornton (61)), including 64 roofing licenses, 85 general contractor licenses and 32 HVAC/mechanical licenses.

State licensing boards are the main source here: we count 1,671 electrical licenses (222 masters, 930 journeymen, 152 residential wiremen) and 605 plumbing licenses (172 masters, 267 journeymen) in Lakewood. That is the 5th-largest electrical workforce in our Colorado data. For electrical or plumbing jobs, the business you sign with needs a contractor registration. Lakewood has 123 active electrical and 68 active plumbing registrations; the other 1,786 individual licenses belong to workers, not firms.

48 profiles carry a state board discipline flag (32 electrical, 16 plumbing), and 28 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. Across all 2,449 profiles, 1,223 (50%) show an active license and 1,216 an expired one, close to the Colorado average.

The median first-license year is 1999. 1,144 records predate 2000, and 173 licenses were first issued in 2024 or later. We matched 34 Lakewood companies to Colorado Secretary of State filings: 19 in good standing and 15 delinquent or dissolved. A dissolved entity can't back a warranty, so check the status before you sign.

Profiles cluster in ZIP codes 80226 (641), 80228 (465), 80215 (386), out of 23 ZIPs on file.

Hail, roofs and your contract

Lakewood 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. 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. 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).
