Every trade card above opens a list of every contractor who pulled that kind of permit in the City of Boulder, October 2023 through September 2026: 2,141 firm listings across 10 kinds of work and 12,984 permits in all. Each row shows how many permits the firm filed, how many the city closed out, its usual filed job value and, where the state keeps one, whether its license matches. Names link to the firm's own page with its permits.
The busiest trades on the Boulder record are HVAC & mechanical (4,460 permits from 324 firms), roofing (2,516 permits from 426 firms), solar & battery (1,489 permits from 112 firms). The smallest file is new home, with 116 permits from 53 firms, so its lists are short and each firm's record is thin.
Before you call anyone, see what jobs usually cost here, from the values filed on the permits: HVAC & mechanical cost, roofing cost, solar & battery cost, electrical cost, water heater cost, remodel & repair cost, addition cost, garage, ADU & accessory building cost, new home cost.
Nobody at our end ranks anyone. You move five sliders: does exactly this work (how many permits of this kind the firm filed), finishes the job (where the file records it, the share of its permits that passed a final inspection), fits my job & budget (how close its usual job is to yours), busy lately (permits in the last 12 months) and works near me (permits near your ZIP code). Each firm gets a 0–100 fit score from those weights and the list re-sorts as you drag. A short record counts for less, and a license problem puts a firm at the bottom whatever its score. No one can pay to be listed or moved up.
