Five Star Rated is different from the average home services guide. We do the research for you and focus on the truly important things you need to feel confident in your selection. Each Five Star Rated company is measured against our five points of quality, and only those who meet our qualification standards earn the privilege of being listed in this guidebook.

Certified Pros Nationwide
State Corporation Search
We confirm that all selected companies structured as S Corporations, C Corporations, or Limited Liability Companies have a current and active record in compliance with the state. The one exception would be sole proprietorships not required to register with the state.
Business Credit Reports
We generate a credit report on every new company considered for participation. We look for basic but critical company information including but not limited to bankruptcy history, liens or judgments history, a credit history score, and charting histories, which may indicate the level of operational stability of the company.
Professional Trade and/or State Licenses
We verify that each company listed is licensed per state requirements for the trade they are practicing business in. In some states, a license is not needed unless the contractor is working in two or more fields as defined by the state.
State-Required Insurance
All featured companies must carry General Liability and Workers’ Compensation Insurance as required by the state.
Customer Reviews
We quality-check every company’s performance with their customers by conducting in-house customer satisfaction surveying or analyzing their prior three years of Google reviews. Companies can use our survey feedback to learn about their performance.

Licensing Requirements:
The state of Colorado does not issue or require a trade license for companies in this service category. Cities in Colorado may require local licensing for specialty work.
Top 5 Tips for Consumers:
1. When talking to a contractor about your project, explain in detail what work you want done. If you are not sure what you want, ask the contractor for suggestions or ask if you can look at a portfolio of other bathroom remodeling projects they have worked on.
Common Services & Products Provided:

• One-day bathroom remodeling services
• Design services

5 Reasons to Hire a Five Star Rated Member:
2. Request detailed, written specifications when asking bathtub and shower conversion contractors for estimates. This will help you and the contractor avoid confusion about what is expected and what is included in the cost of the job.
3. If changes to the scope of the project occur as work progresses, get written documentation on changes, cost, and time.
4. While each project’s unique requirements will determine the construction steps needed, common bathroom remodeling steps include demolition, structural carpentry work, roughing out utilities, and installing drywall.
5. When choosing a bathtub and shower conversion contractor, consider the company’s experience, craftsmanship quality, grade of materials offered, warranty options, and scope of work in their proposal.
1. We review dozens of companies in each market with our thorough vetting process.

Licensing Requirements:
Concrete Leveling & Raising
Category
The state of Colorado does not issue or require a trade license for companies in this service category. Cities in Colorado may require local licensing for specialty work.
Top 5 Tips for Consumers:
1. Signs of sunken concrete issues include sinking concrete steps or sidewalks; cracked, bumpy, and uneven driveways or patios; cracking and sinking sections of slabs; washout of soils under concrete slabs; and repeated cracking of concrete slabs.
Common Services & Products Provided:
• Concrete leveling and raising for driveways, sidewalks, walkways, patios, steps, and foundations
• Polyurethane foam lifting
• Slabjacking
• Mudjacking
• Foundation repair
• Foundation stabilization
• Piering
• Crawl space encapsulation and waterproofing
• Basement waterproofing systems
• Foundation drainage systems
2. The processes for raising concrete by mudjacking or polyurethane injection are similar. Holes are drilled into the concrete slab, mud material or polyurethane foam is pumped under the slab, and the voids under the slab are filled, which raises the slab. The drill holes are patched with a concrete mixture to complete the process.
3. With the ability to cure in minutes, polyurethane allows for swift lifting and stabilization.
4. Uneven exterior concrete slabs should be repaired for many reasons, including convenience and safety. An even concrete slab is very important if you plan to build anything on your slab or lay down any type of outdoor tile.
5. Once the concrete has been repaired, address the underlying causes of the sinking. Drainage issues and improper land grading can lead to recurring problems.

Licensing Requirements:
Companies are required to hold an Electrical Contractor License issued by the Colorado Division of Professions and Occupations.
Top 5 Tips for Consumers:
1. Always call a licensed and insured professional electrician to perform electrical repairs. Electrical work requires specialized knowledge and tools to avoid injury to yourself or damage to your home.

• Electrical equipment installation, replacement, and repair
• Troubleshooting
• Maintenance
• Whole-house surge protection
• Generator installation
• Outlet, switch, and fan installation
• Lighting installation
• Electrical panel replacements and upgrades
• Safety inspections
5 Reasons to Hire a Five Star Rated Member:
2. If you own an older home, you may want an electrician to examine your system to catch any safety issues. Your electrical system may not be properly grounded, for instance, or you may need a larger main panel.
3. If your breakers trip frequently, outlets emit a burning odor or strange noises, or lights flicker at random, call an electrician to take a look for underlying issues.
4. The US Fire Administration recommends testing your smoke detectors once a month, replacing the batteries once a year, and replacing smoke detector units every ten years or when they no longer function when tested.
5. Ask your electrical contractor about standby generators if you live in an area that commonly experiences storms or power outages or if someone in your home relies on medical equipment.
1. We review dozens of companies in each market with our thorough vetting process.
2. Only the best of the best are allowed to become Five Star Rated, and guidebook inclusion is limited to five members per category.

Flooring Contractors
Licensing Requirements:
The state of Colorado does not issue or require a trade license for companies in this service category. Cities in Colorado may require local licensing for specialty work.
Top 5 Tips for Consumers:
1. View flooring samples in as large a size as possible and under a variety of lighting conditions at home. This will help you choose the best option for your home decor.
Common Services & Products Provided:
• Conventional and engineered hardwood flooring
• Tile, stone, luxury vinyl, and laminate flooring
• Carpet installation and stretching
• Flooring installation and repair
• Hardwood sanding and refinishing
• Stairway updates
• Flooring sales and installation
• Area rug sales, repair, and refurbishing
2. A damaged subfloor can compromise the flooring material installed over it. It is important to fix any subfloor issues before installing new flooring to avoid problems in the future and to ensure the flooring lasts a long time.
3. Vinyl flooring is a good option for areas prone to getting wet, such as kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms, because it is low-maintenance and resistant to mold and mildew. Tile, stone, and grout needs to be resealed approximately every four years but is otherwise low maintenance.
4. Flooring can have a big impact on a home’s resale value. Consider your return on investment when choosing a new floor covering, as well as your lifestyle and the level of care required for different flooring types.
5. Reduce wear on hardwood floors with floor mats and rugs. Also use felt protectors or furniture coasters on furniture legs to prevent dents and scratches.
5 Reasons to Hire a Five Star Rated Member:
1. We review dozens of companies in each market with our thorough vetting process.
2. Only the best of the best are allowed to become Five Star Rated, and guidebook inclusion is limited to five members per category.

Foundation
Licensing Requirements:
The state of Colorado does not issue or require a trade license for companies in this service category. Cities in Colorado may require local licensing for specialty work.
Top 5 Tips for Consumers:
1. Signs of foundation damage include vertical and horizontal cracks in foundation walls, drywall cracks near doors and windows, unlevel floors, windows or doors sticking, cracks in exterior brick veneer, settled or uneven basement floors, and cracks in garage slabs.
Common Services & Products Provided:
• Foundation repair
• Pier systems
• Wall anchor systems
• Basement waterproofing
• Crawl space repair and encapsulation
• Moisture control service
• Humidity control systems
• Foundation drainage systems
• Concrete lifting
5 Reasons to Hire a Five Star Rated Member:
2. The following conditions can cause foundations to settle, crack, and bow: extremely dry weather, which causes the soil to shrink and contract; and wet weather, which causes the soil to expand and create pressure.
3. All foundation repair, moisture, and waterproofing problems should be addressed before selling a home. If left unresolved, they can severely limit your ability to sell your home.
4. If you discover a water intrusion issue somewhere in your home, it should be addressed as soon as possible. Typically, the problem will not get better and most likely will get worse and more expensive over time.
5. Mold, mildew, and allergens are a concern in basements. Moisture and dampness issues must be fixed before remediation can begin.
1. We review dozens of companies in each market with our thorough vetting process.
2. Only the best of the best are allowed to become Five Star Rated, and guidebook inclusion is limited to five members per category.

Garage Door Repair & Services
Licensing Requirements:
The state of Colorado does not issue or require a trade license for companies in this service category. Cities in Colorado may require local licensing for specialty work.
Top 5 Tips for Consumers:
1. Garage door systems include either torsion or extension springs above the garage door. If a spring breaks, the door is no longer properly supported and can be difficult or impossible to lift. Working with garage door springs is very dangerous and should only be done by experts.
Common Services & Products Provided:
• Garage door installation, replacement, and repair
• Routine garage door maintenance
• Garage door opener installation, repair, replacement, and programming
• Repair and replacement of springs, rollers, and cables
• New garage door sales and installation
• Electric gates and openers
2. Garage door components and products can vary greatly. Learn about the performance differences of various options, and look for value rather than the lowest price.
3. If you hear grinding noises when using your garage door, you should stop the garage door opener or stop attempting to open or close it, if operating by hand. Call a professional garage door repair company to investigate.
4. Regular maintenance is key to a properly and safely operating garage door. On a regular basis, visually inspect the garage door system, including the springs, cables, pulleys, rollers, and hardware for signs of damage or wear.
5. Steel is one of the most popular materials for garage doors, but other options include wood, aluminum, fiberglass, and vinyl.
5 Reasons to Hire a Five Star Rated Member:
1. We review dozens of companies in each market with our thorough vetting process.
2. Only the best of the best are allowed to become Five Star Rated, and guidebook inclusion is limited to five members per category.

Companies are required to hold an Electrical Contractor License issued by the Colorado Division of Professions and Occupations. Gas line work requires a Plumbing Contractor License issued by the Colorado Division of Professions and Occupations.
Common Services & Products Provided:
• Standby generator sales
• Standby generator installation, maintenance, repair, and replacement
• Generator switches and accessories
• Remote generator monitoring
Top 5 Tips for Consumers:
1. Before you buy a generator, think carefully about what you’ll need to power if your electricity goes out. That list of essential items and appliances will help you choose a generator that’s the right size for your needs.
2. A standby or whole-house generator typically uses either natural gas or propane to power the engine that creates electricity. Standby generators turn on automatically when the power goes out, even if you aren’t home during the outage.
3. Whole-house generators must be professionally installed. They rely on a transfer switch that transfers electricity from the public utility to your home and back again. If this switch is incorrectly installed, electricity can backfeed into the utility lines and electrocute a utility worker.
4. Generators must be installed and used well away from covered spaces where carbon monoxide could build up. A generator professional will know the safest place for your new generator.
5. Routine maintenance ensures that your generator works when you need it. Have your standby generator serviced every 6 to 12 months.

Examine Past Work: Ask to see examples of projects similar to yours that the contractor has completed. This gives you a concrete idea of their workmanship and attention to detail.
Licensing Requirements:
The state of Colorado does not issue or require a trade license for companies in this service category. Cities in Colorado may require local licensing for specialty work.
Top 5 Tips for Consumers:
1. Gutters and downspouts direct water away from your home, protecting the soil, foundation, roof, and siding. Faulty, damaged, or improperly installed gutters can lead to basement water damage, foundation issues, soil erosion, roof leaks, fascia and soffit damage, and other problems.
Common Services & Products Provided:
• Gutter installation and replacement
• Gutter cover installation
• Gutter guard installation
• Downspout installation and replacement
• Specialty accessories and product options, such as ice reduction systems for gutters, downspout extenders, rain chains, splash blocks, and extended gutter and downspout diameter options
2. When gutters are clogged, the rainwater runoff over the gutters can cause soil erosion around the foundation of the home and contribute to potential foundation and waterproofing problems.
3. Standard gutters that have no gutter cover system installed can sag or pull away from the roof due to the weight from clogs and debris buildup.
4. Don’t wait until you have overflowing gutters or water intrusion to have your gutters replaced or repaired or to have gutter covers installed. This can lead to expensive repairs, most notably wood rot repair, house foundation issues, and possible termite damage.
5. Gutters come in different shapes and sizes. K-style is the most common gutter shape, and box gutters and half-round gutters are also available. Typically, gutters come in five- and six-inch sizes.

Top 5 Tips for Consumers:

4. Are you planning to sell your house soon? Before you put your house on the market, a handyman company can likely take care of small updates recommended by your real estate agent.
5. If your home needs modifications for agingin-place purposes or to increase accessibility, a handyman company can take care of those updates.

Heating & Air Conditioning Contractors
Licensing Requirements:
The state of Colorado does not issue or require a trade license for companies in this service category. Cities in Colorado may require local licensing for specialty work.
Top 5 Tips for Consumers:
Common Services & Products Provided:
• Heating and air conditioning services
• Equipment repair and replacement
• HVAC system and equipment installation
• Refrigerant recharging or refilling
• Maintenance agreements (typically for two maintenance calls per year, spring and fall)
• Thermostats
• Furnaces
• Humidifiers and dehumidifiers
1. Regular maintenance is key to ensuring that your system does not fail at a crucial time of year, when temperatures are very cold or hot. Ask if the company offers maintenance plans, and if so, find out what is included. Typically, an HVAC maintenance plan includes two maintenance appointments per year, one in the spring and one in the fall. There are often additional perks and services, such as discounts and priority service, offered as part of the plan as well.
2. Programmable thermostats can help you save money on your energy bill. If no one is home during the day, thermostats can be set to automatically adjust the temperature to use less energy while the house is empty.
3. The right HVAC system size is key to efficiently heating and cooling your home.
4. Inquire about how the company handles billing. Can you pay online, over the phone, or by check?
5. Ask for information regarding the warranties offered by the company on the services they offer, including both repair and installation work. Get all warranty information in writing.
5 Reasons to Hire a Five Star Rated Member:
1. We review dozens of companies in each market with our thorough vetting process.

5 Reasons to Hire a Five Star Rated Member:
1. Landscaping projects typically follow this order: The landscaping plan is approved by you and your HOA, if needed; any necessary permits are acquired; and a utility search of the area is performed. Then, existing landscaped areas are removed, hardscaping and trees are installed, drainage and soil work takes place, irrigation is installed, shrubs and small plants are added, and sod and landscape lighting are installed last.
2. Drainage is crucial for any landscaping project. Drainage solutions include grading, French drains, dry wells, catch basins, swales, rain gardens, downspouts, rain barrels, and more.
3. Your professional landscaper can create a custom landscaping plan for your family, lifestyle, and budget. How you want to use your yard will determine the features included in the plan.
4. Work with your landscaping company to get to a fully detailed design before construction starts.
5. Be sure to sign a contract with the company before work begins, and make sure the scope of work included in the contract matches what is included in the design drawings.

Top 5 Tips for Consumers:
1. Caring for your lawn can be challenging. Nutrient deficiency, disease, insects, and weeds can threaten the health of your grass, but a lawn care professional can help. Before calling lawn care professionals for quotes, make a list of issues you’ve noticed and your desired outcome for lawn treatments.
Common Services & Products Provided:
• Lawn maintenance and treatments
• Fertilization, including custom blends
• Weed control
• Pre-emergent treatments
• Insect, mite, and disease control and treatments
• Tree and shrub pruning
• Seeding
• Aeration
• Overseeding
• Soil analysis
5 Reasons to Hire a Five Star Rated Member:
2. Early fall is generally a good time for seeding a lawn. Ensuring balanced pH levels in your soil will improve the chances that the grass seed will thrive.
3. Fertilization helps your lawn recover from environmental stress.
4. It’s a good idea to aerate your lawn each spring and fall. Methods for aeration include spiking, slicing, and core aeration. Core aeration, which removes plugs of soil to create openings for water and air, is generally considered to be the most effective method.
5. Proper mowing is key to a healthy lawn. Since different grass types should be cut to different heights, consult your lawn care pro about your grass type and its ideal mowing height.

Moving & Storage
Licensing Requirements:
A household goods mover must have a PUC permit (license) to perform local moves in the state of Colorado and a USDOT # (as well as an MC # for interstate movers) issued by the US Department of Transportation.
Common Services & Products Provided:
• Local moving services
• Long-distance moving services
• Interstate moving services
• Packing and unpacking
• Packing and moving supplies
• Loading and unloading
• Short- and long-term storage services
• Piano and antique furniture moving
Top 5 Tips for Consumers:
1. Always have a physical survey done by the mover to determine pricing. Phone estimates are not very accurate. Insist on a written proposal.
2. Make sure you have a clear understanding of the claims process up front, including the time period for submitting a claim should anything be damaged.
3. Combine items you will need immediately upon arriving at your new home into one or two boxes and have them loaded last so they can be unloaded first. Take medications, important paperwork, valuable or cherished items, a few days’ worth of clothing, and other valuable items with you in your own car.
4. You can typically save money by planning your move during the middle of the month, because movers are busiest at the beginning and end of the month.
5. You may want to consider packing your belongings yourself; the cost of packing can add up quickly. Remember that if you do pack your own items, the moving company will not, in most cases, be responsible for any damage.

1. Make sure the job will include the proper prep work. Good prep work will result in a longer-lasting paint job. Primer and paint should be applied to clean, smooth surfaces.
Common Services & Products Provided:
• Interior and exterior painting
• Color consultations
• Carpentry and wood repair
• Drywall repair
• Cabinet painting
• Faux and decorative finishes
• Wallpaper installation and removal
• Popcorn ceiling removal
• Garage floor painting
• Fence and deck painting and staining
2. Make sure that the estimates you consider are in writing and include the same scope of work and materials so you can compare apples to apples. Check the quality of the paint included in the estimate and the number of coats proposed.
3. Choose a paint sheen that fits the space being painted. Shinier paint finishes have more durability and are easy to clean. High gloss is suitable for kitchens, window trim, and doors. Semigloss finishes are good for kitchens, trim, and bathrooms. Eggshell works well in dining and living spaces, and matte finishes are suitable for lowtraffic areas such as bedrooms.
4. If you are not sure what color or colors you want to use, ask for a color consultation. Your painting contractor will be able to help you choose a color or color scheme that suits your home decor.
5. Quality is key. Cheaper paints require more coats to get the same result as higher-quality paints.

Expert Tip
Pest Control
Licensing Requirements:
Companies that apply pesticides are required to hold a Pesticide Applicator License issued by the Colorado Department of Agriculture.
Top 5 Tips for Consumers:
1. Pest removal can be dangerous, especially if you’re dealing with stinging insects or live animals. Always call a professional to handle the issue. Be sure to find out what pests the company handles.
Common Services & Products Provided:
• Pest control services
• Pest removal
• Pest exclusion services and repairs
• Scheduled pest treatments
• Termite protection
• Mosquito control services
• Eco-friendly options
• Disinfectant services
• Whole-house fumigation services
2. To avoid attracting pests indoors, do not let food, drinks, or pet food to sit out overnight. Also be sure to clear debris and piles of lumber from your yard, since these provide refuge for pests such as cockroaches.
3. Not all pest control strategies involve chemicals; traps, repairs, and natural pesticides are options used by many pest control companies.
4. Ask the pest control company what methods are used to remove or control pest issues and if they use eco-friendly or pet- and child-safe pest control products.
5. Once the pests have been removed, it is important to seal the entry points they used so more pests do not enter the home. Your pest control technician should perform an inspection to determine the pest’s point of entry, identify other potential points of entry, and recommend methods to prevent reentry of other unwanted pests in the future.
5 Reasons to Hire a Five Star Rated Member:
1. We review dozens of companies in each market with our thorough vetting process.

Licensing Requirements:
Companies are required to hold a Plumbing Contractor License issued by the Colorado Division of Professions and Occupations.
Top 5 Tips for Consumers:
1. Locate your main water shutoff valve to the whole house. This is helpful to know so you can turn off the water supply completely in case of emergency situations such as in-home flooding or a major leak.
Common Services & Products Provided:
• General plumbing installation, replacement, maintenance, and repairs
• Plumbing remodeling services
• Water heaters
• Toilets, faucets, and fixtures
• Garbage disposals
• Drain cleaning
• Water and sewer line repair and replacement

• Sump pumps
5 Reasons to Hire a Five Star Rated Member:
2. Use cold water when the garbage disposal is operating. You can clean your disposal by grinding ice cubes. When your disposal needs a little freshening, grind some lemon peels in it.
3. Many types of clogs can be avoided by using common sense. Do not pour grease down the kitchen sink, and do not wash coffee grounds down the sink. Use chemical cleaners only when necessary. Do not flush larger items such as feminine hygiene products down the toilet.
4. Thousands of people are scalded by tap water every year. The Gas Appliance Manufacturers Association recommends that the highest hot water temperature at the faucet be set between 120 and 125 degrees Fahrenheit.
5. When it’s time to upgrade to new plumbing fixtures, look for ENERGY STAR-certified products that conserve water and energy consumption.
1. We review dozens of companies in each market with our thorough vetting process.

Remodeling Contractors
Licensing Requirements:
The state of Colorado does not issue or require a trade license for companies in this service category. Cities in Colorado may require local licensing for specialty work.
Top 5 Tips for Consumers:
1. When talking with a contractor about your project, explain in detail what work you want done. If you are not sure what you want, ask the contractor for suggestions or ask if you can look at a portfolio of their previous remodeling projects.
Common Services & Products Provided:
• Home remodeling
• Kitchens
• Bathrooms
• Basements
• Additions
• Three- and four-season rooms
• Sunrooms
• Porches
• Decks
• Home exterior updates and renovations
2. Request detailed, written specifications from each contractor so you may compare proposals fairly and accurately. This will also help you and the contractor you hire avoid confusion when it comes to your expectations for the project and what is included in the cost of the job.
3. Ask what types of warranties are offered on workmanship and materials, and get warranty information in writing. Specific products used in the project may carry different warranties.
4. Communicate often with your contractor during the project. If you have changes, questions, or concerns, communicate them. It is better to handle issues while materials, tools, and labor are readily available.
5. If changes to the project scope occur as work progresses, get written documentation of the changes, including adjustments to cost and time.
5 Reasons to Hire a Five Star Rated Member:
1. We review dozens of companies in each market with our thorough vetting process.

Restoration Services - Water, Storm, Fire Damage
Licensing Requirements:
The state of Colorado does not issue or require a trade license for companies in this service category. Cities in Colorado may require local licensing for specialty work.
Top 5 Tips for Consumers:
1. Damage from a storm, flood, or burst pipes can be dangerous and cause mold growth or structural damage. Address the problem immediately to avoid further complications. If you delay fixing the problem, insurance companies could consider this owner neglect and deny your claim.
Common Services & Products Provided:
• Water damage restoration
• Water extraction
• Structural drying
• Mold remediation
• Smoke damage restoration
• Fire damage restoration
• Carpet removal and cleaning
• Odor removal
• Reconstruction services
• Contents pack-out
5 Reasons to Hire a Five Star Rated Member:
2. It takes about three to five full days for a structure to dry, using the proper equipment. Although the affected area may seem dry, there is often hidden moisture that should be resolved before any restoration work begins.
3. Smoke damage leaves behind soot and odor. Soot must be thoroughly cleaned before a house is suitable for occupation. Odor may not be noticed until homeowners have moved back into the home.
4. Obtain a detailed written work proposal, including estimated time frames, as homeowners often have to make alternative living arrangements until the work is completed.
5. Professional restoration companies can advise homeowners on which damaged items and personal belongings can be safely restored and which items are beyond repair.
1. We review dozens of companies in each market with our thorough vetting process.
2. Only the best of the best are allowed to become Five Star Rated, and guidebook inclusion is limited to five members per category.
3. Companies cannot buy their way into the guidebooks; Five Star Rated is invite-only.

Licensing Requirements:
The state of Colorado does not issue or require a trade license for companies in this service category. Cities in Colorado may require local licensing for specialty work.
Top 5 Tips for Consumers:
1. Hire a roofing installation and repair company that uses high-quality materials from name-brand manufacturers that provide extended warranties on their products.
Common Services & Products Provided:
• Roof installation and replacement
• Roof repair and maintenance
• Fascia and soffit repair
• Roof inspections
• Storm damage assessments
• Asphalt shingle roofs
• Metal roofs
• Tile roofs
• Flat roofs
5 Reasons to Hire a Five Star Rated Member:
2. Weather is a factor when replacing your roof. Ask the contractor to explain their procedure if stormy weather were to approach in the middle of the removal or installation of your roof.
3. Roof ventilation is critical. Without proper roof ventilation, hot air will become trapped in your attic and cause your HVAC system to work overtime. Roof replacement is the perfect time to improve inadequate ventilation.
4. Most roof leaks are caused by flashing that has failed or been improperly installed around chimneys, vent pipes, and skylights.
5. To protect your roof, try to minimize roof traffic. Sometimes other contractors may damage roofs while working on them. For example, do not allow a cleaning contractor to use any type of bracing on pitched roofs where they might nail into your roof, therefore compromising your roof with a puncture through the protective roofing barrier.
1. We review dozens of companies in each market with our thorough vetting process.

Sewer & Drain Cleaning
Licensing Requirements:
Companies are required to hold a Plumbing Contractor License issued by the Colorado Division of Professions and Occupations.
Top 5 Tips for Consumers:
1. Clogs are typically caused by food, hair, foreign objects, and grease. To avoid clogs, consider using strainers over your drains. Do not dispose of grease in drains. Additionally, so-called flushable wipes should not be flushed down the toilet.
Common Services & Products Provided:
• Sewer and drain cleaning
• Clog removal
• Rodding
• Hydro-jetting
• Water line repair and replacement
• Sewer line repair and replacement
• Trenchless sewer line repair
• Video camera inspections
• Root removal
• Repiping
5 Reasons to Hire a Five Star Rated Member:
2. Hard water can cause buildup that clogs and corrodes your plumbing system. If your area has hard water, install a water softener system.
3. While chemical drain cleaners can effectively remove clogs, they can also damage pipes. Try using a drain snake or other alternative drain cleaning methods first, and if the problem persists, call a professional.
4. If your sinks are draining very slowly or gurgling noises are coming from your toilets, call a drain and sewer cleaning professional. These are potential signs of a sewer system problem.
5. If you own an older home built before the 1960s and 1970s, you may have sewer pipes made of clay tile. Clay-tile pipes are susceptible to tree root intrusion, and their lifespan is less than 50 years. Sewer pipes in homes constructed more recently are usually made of PVC.

Tip
for Surprises: For larger projects, maintain a contingency budget of 10-20% beyond the contract price for unexpected issues. This helps with unforeseen conditions without derailing your project.
Siding Installation
Licensing Requirements:
The state of Colorado does not issue or require a trade license for companies in this service category. Cities in Colorado may require local licensing for specialty work.
Top 5 Tips for Consumers:
1. Signs that you need to replace your siding include warped planks, rotten areas, holes, bubbling paint, and persistent mold or mildew growth.
Common Services & Products Provided:
• Siding installation
• Siding replacement
• Vinyl and insulated vinyl siding
• Fiber cement siding
• Engineered wood siding
• Cedar siding
• Exterior home remodeling and renovation
2. Before contacting a contractor to discuss your siding job, think about what type of siding product you would like for your home. For inspiration, look at the types and styles of siding traditionally used in your neighborhood or city. You can also visit home centers and look through the siding materials on display.
3. Find out if your homeowners’ association has restrictions on siding materials, styles, and colors. The homeowners’ association may also have guidelines about remodeling projects that you and the contractor will need to follow.
4. Hire a siding company that uses high-quality materials from name-brand manufacturers with extended warranties.
5. Siding installation involves hammering and nailing and can be a little disruptive. Before your siding project begins, take down art and wall hangings from interior walls and move furniture away from the walls.

Tile, Grout & Stone Cleaning
Licensing Requirements:
The state of Colorado does not issue or require a trade license for companies in this service category.
Top 5 Tips for Consumers:
1. Grout is a porous substance and should be sealed at least once every two years to prevent stains and mold or mildew growth. Grout in wet areas, such as in showers and around bathtubs and sinks, should be sealed annually.
Common Services & Products Provided:
• Tile, grout, and stone cleaning and sealing
• Marble cleaning, sealing, and polishing
• Specialty tile cleaning and sealing
• Tile restoration
• Carpet cleaning
• Pressure washing
5 Reasons to Hire a Five Star Rated Member:
2. Unglazed ceramic tiles and natural stone tiles should be sealed to help the surface stay clean and resist stains. Porcelain tiles and glazed ceramic tiles usually do not need to be sealed.
3. Topical sealers create a physical barrier on top of a tile surface. Over time, this barrier can wear away, so topical sealers will need regular reapplication and periodic buffing to hide marks and scuffs.
4. Impregnating sealers sink into the tile or grout and make it less porous and absorbent. These types of sealers are invisible to the eye and usually last for a couple of years before they need to be reapplied.
5. Steam cleaning and hot water extraction are the most common methods for cleaning tile, grout, and stone surfaces. Steam cleaning uses the steam from very hot water to clean and sanitize surfaces. Hot water extraction cleaning uses jets of pressurized hot water to remove ingrained dirt and stains.
1. We review dozens of companies in each market with our thorough vetting process.
2. Only the best of the best are allowed to become Five Star Rated, and guidebook inclusion is limited to five members per category.
3. Companies cannot buy their way into the guidebooks; Five Star Rated is invite-only.
4. All Five Star Rated companies must carry general liability insurance as well as workers’ compensation insurance when required by their state.
5. Homeowners can register for the Five Star Guarantee to ensure a great experience.

Licensing Requirements:
The state of Colorado does not issue or require a trade license for companies in this service category. Cities in Colorado may require local licensing for specialty work.
Top 5 Tips for Consumers:
1. Never allow anyone to climb your trees with climbing spikes unless the tree is being completely removed. Climbing spikes create wounds that can expose the tree to fatal disease and insect attacks.
Common Services & Products Provided:
• Tree pruning and trimming
• Tree removal
• Cabling and bracing
• Root fertilization
• Stump grinding
• Insect and disease control
• Tree planting
• Tree care consultations
• Tree health and risk assessments
• Tree disease diagnosis and treatment plans
2. Consult a professional arborist prior to starting construction activities around trees. Grading work performed too close to a tree can cause problems. Most of a tree’s feeding roots are in the top six to eight inches of the soil and extend beyond the canopy spread.
3. Mulching over a tree’s root system conserves soil moisture. The mulch layer should be three to four inches thick. Excess mulch inhibits oxygen availability for the roots and can cause more harm than good.
4. Know your local tree ordinances before you remove a tree. This will help you avoid potentially costly fines. A reputable tree company will know the local ordinances before starting any project around your home.
5. Mushroom growth on or around your trees is a sign of trunk or root decay. Consult a professional arborist immediately.

1. We review dozens of companies in each market with our thorough vetting process.

Wildlife Removal & Management
Licensing Requirements:
The state of Colorado does not issue or require a trade license for companies in this service category.
Top 5 Tips for Consumers:
1. Wildlife removal can be dangerous, so don’t try to take care of the problem by yourself. Always call a professional to handle the issue. They have the knowledge, equipment, and protective gear to do the job safely.
Common Services & Products Provided:
• Animal control services
• Wildlife removal
• Wildlife management
• Exclusion services and repairs
• Removal and control of birds, rats, squirrels, snakes, bats, opossums, raccoons, skunks, coyotes, foxes, gophers, and more
• Dead animal removal
• Space deodorization
• Insulation removal and replacement
• General pest control
5 Reasons to Hire a Five Star Rated Member:
2. Be sure to find out what animals the company handles and ask if they provide emergency animal removal service.
3. Not all wildlife removal and pest control strategies involve chemicals; traps, exclusion repairs, and natural pesticides are more humane options used by many animal control companies.
4. Ask the wildlife control company what methods are used to remove or control animal issues and if they use eco-friendly or pet- and child-safe products.
5. Once the animal has been removed, it is important to seal the entry points they used so more pests do not enter the home. These exclusion repairs are essential to resolving the problem. Your technician should perform an inspection to determine the pest’s point of entry, identify other potential points of entry, and recommend methods to prevent reentry of other unwanted pests in the future.
1. We review dozens of companies in each market with our thorough vetting process.
2. Only the best of the best are allowed to become Five Star Rated, and guidebook inclusion is limited to five members per category.
3. Companies cannot buy their way into the guidebooks; Five Star Rated is invite-only.

Top 5 Tips for Consumers:
1. If you have a limited budget, consider replacing the windows on your upper floors first.
2. Ask your contractor about the differences between wood, vinyl, or aluminum cladding for your windows and doors.
Common Services & Products Provided:
• Door installation and replacement
• Window installation and replacement
• Energy-efficient windows and doors
• Impact or storm windows and doors
• Vinyl, fiberglass, steel, aluminum, wood, and engineered wood windows
• Sliding glass, patio, and French doors
• Entryway and interior doors
• Wood, insulated steel, and fiberglass doors
3. Adding weather stripping around windows and doors has a big impact on drafts and energy conservation. Caulking door thresholds and windows and adding plastic window film can save you money in the winter.
4. Windows and doors are the areas of greatest energy loss in a home. By installing new windows and doors, it may be possible to increase energy efficiency in your home by up to 70 percent. Ask your contractor which manufacturers and/or brands they recommend and why.
5. A small deposit is reasonable for custom-order materials, such as custom-sized windows, as they will only work in each individual home and ensures a commitment to the contractor that you will complete the project and that the contractor will not be left with a warehouse full of custom materials.
