Montrose by the numbers

Our Colorado records put 656 contractors and tradespeople in Montrose, most of them in ZIP 81401, which places the city 25th statewide, based on state and city license records. Most of the Montrose list is made up of DORA-licensed tradespeople, specifically 377 electrical licenses (74 masters, 126 journeymen, 70 residential wiremen) and 276 plumbing licenses (82 masters, 87 journeymen). For electrical or plumbing jobs, the business you sign with needs a contractor registration. Montrose has 46 active electrical and 48 active plumbing registrations; the other 469 individual licenses belong to workers, not firms.

Board discipline: 20 Montrose records have a DORA discipline flag (11 plumbing, 8 electrical, 1 general). 13 belong to licenses that are still active, so a current license alone doesn't rule out past discipline. Across all 656 profiles, 343 (52%) show an active license and 308 an expired one, close to the Colorado average.

We matched 12 Montrose companies to Colorado Secretary of State filings: 10 in good standing and 2 delinquent or dissolved. A dissolved entity can't back a warranty, so check the status before you sign. Experience runs deep: half of the licensed pros here were first licensed in 2004 or earlier, and 68 active licenses date from before 2000. 72 are new since 2024. Profiles cluster in ZIP codes 81401 (444), 81403 (167), 81402 (43), out of 5 ZIPs on file.
