The Manitou Springs contractor picture

Only 85 contractors and tradespeople in our Colorado data give Manitou Springs as their address, 61 of them with a lapsed license. Only 28% have an active license today, against 54% statewide, so check the expiry date on every profile you open. The roster is mostly state-licensed trades: 65 electrical licenses (12 masters, 30 journeymen, 7 residential wiremen) and 20 plumbing licenses (7 masters, 9 journeymen), all from the DORA rosters.

Experience runs deep: half of the licensed pros here were first licensed in 1986 or earlier, and 6 active licenses date from before 2000. 5 are new since 2024. For electrical or plumbing jobs, the business you sign with needs a contractor registration. Manitou Springs has 3 active electrical and 1 active plumbing registrations; the other 68 individual licenses belong to workers, not firms. Board discipline: 2 Manitou Springs records have a DORA discipline flag (2 electrical). 1 belong to licenses that are still active, so a current license alone doesn't rule out past discipline.

Hail, roofs and your contract

Manitou Springs 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).
