How to verify a Colorado contractor
- Search by license number (most precise) or exact business name.
- Confirm the status is active and the expiration date is after your project ends.
- Match the license classification to the job.
- Ask for proof of insurance and any required bond; compare the business name on the contract to the record.
- Confirm on the official Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA) portal.
