Sterling contractors at a glance

179: that is how many contractor and tradesperson records in our Colorado database carry a Sterling address, enough for 68th place among the state's cities, based on state and city license records. Board discipline: 8 Sterling records have a DORA discipline flag (5 electrical, 3 plumbing). 5 belong to licenses that are still active, so a current license alone doesn't rule out past discipline.

Electricians make up the biggest group, with 130 electrical licenses (23 masters, 64 journeymen, 7 residential wiremen) and 49 plumbing licenses (19 masters, 17 journeymen). Most entries are individual tradespeople (133), not companies. Only 16 active electrical contractor and 8 active plumbing contractor registrations are based here, and those are the businesses that can sell electrical or plumbing work to you directly.

Across all 179 profiles, 89 (50%) show an active license and 89 an expired one, close to the Colorado average. Experience runs deep: half of the licensed pros here were first licensed in 1998 or earlier, and 21 active licenses date from before 2000. 9 are new since 2024.
