Watkins contractors at a glance

Watkins accounts for 45 of the contractor profiles in our Colorado records, ranking 154th statewide, with ZIP 80137 home to the largest share. 78% of them show an active license on file, above the Colorado-wide figure of 54% for the profiles we hold.

Roofers, general contractors and HVAC firms aren't state-licensed in Colorado, so they show up only through city license lists. 17 Watkins-based profiles appear on the lists we hold (Aurora (10), Arvada (5) and Thornton (2)), including 2 roofing licenses, 4 general contractor licenses and 2 HVAC/mechanical licenses. State licensing boards are the main source here: we count 20 electrical licenses (3 masters, 12 journeymen) and 12 plumbing licenses (4 masters, 3 journeymen) in Watkins.

Most entries are individual tradespeople (23), not companies. Only 2 active electrical contractor and 5 active plumbing contractor registrations are based here, and those are the businesses that can sell electrical or plumbing work to you directly. The median first-license year is 2006. 12 records predate 2000, and 6 licenses were first issued in 2024 or later.

Licensing in Watkins

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 Watkins's local rules yet, so check with the building department before you hire. Most Watkins ZIP codes in our data are in Adams County, so the city or Adams County building department is where to ask.

Hail, roofs and your contract

Watkins 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).
