Vail by the numbers

Vail ranks 93rd among Colorado cities by contractor profiles in HomeProFax, with 111 businesses and licensed tradespeople listed at local addresses, 75 of them with a lapsed license. 32% of them show an active license on file, below the Colorado-wide figure of 54% for the profiles we hold. Electricians make up the biggest group, with 84 electrical licenses (14 masters, 34 journeymen, 9 residential wiremen) and 27 plumbing licenses (8 masters, 7 journeymen).

77 profiles are individual license holders rather than companies. The company on your contract should be one of the 6 active electrical or 3 active plumbing contractors, or a registered firm from a nearby city. Experience runs deep: half of the licensed pros here were first licensed in 1994 or earlier, and 4 active licenses date from before 2000. 3 are new since 2024.

Board discipline: 2 Vail 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. We matched 7 Vail companies to Colorado Secretary of State filings: 2 in good standing and 5 delinquent or dissolved. A dissolved entity can't back a warranty, so check the status before you sign.

HomeProFax profiles with a Vail address, built from DORA electrical and plumbing rosters, the Aurora, Arvada and Thornton contractor license lists, Colorado Secretary of State filings and Boulder/Denver open permit data. Counts as of Oct 24, 2026.

Shortcut: before you hire, ask any Vail contractor for their verified HomeProFax report. A contractor with a clean record can share it in a minute.

Licensing in Vail

Colorado licenses electricians and plumbers statewide through the DORA State Electrical Board and the DORA State Plumbing Board. General contractors, roofers and HVAC contractors are licensed, if at all, by the local city or county. We haven't verified Vail's local rules yet, so check with the building department before you hire. Most Vail ZIP codes in our data are in Eagle County, so the city or Eagle County building department is where to ask.
