Ask Ava anything about the information on this page.
The Colorado Springs metro has 833 larger buildings in roofing-buying categories, led by retail stores (337), and 20 nonresidential roofing contractors working them. It over-indexes on apartment property management firms, which should anchor a target list. Start in El Paso County, where 98% of them sit.
These are the 9 industries Abstrakt's SDRs call for roofing work, with how many of each are in the Colorado Springs metro and who to ask for. Compared with the U.S. as a whole, Colorado Springs leans toward apartment property management firms (1.29x) and churches and religious organizations (1.23x). Build the list around those categories. Manufacturing plants and auto dealerships are thinner than the national mix, so treat them as selective targets.
Locations are establishments with 20 or more employees (U.S. Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023); property management and similar companies are counted in full, whatever their size. Change and concentration: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages, private ownership, 2026 Q1.
Buildings per contractor: Colorado Springs and nearby markets
20 nonresidential roofing contractors are based in the Colorado Springs metro. 4 more opened over the past year, so buyers are fielding new names. The trade is 40% more concentrated than the U.S. as a whole. Facility and property teams here already hear from commercial roofing contractors, and a specific reason to talk beats a generic pitch. 41.6 larger roofing-buying buildings per contractor puts Colorado Springs 83 of 89 markets, and 2 of 2 in Colorado. That is toward the crowded end, so growth here comes mostly from displacing incumbents at renewal. If you can serve Denver and Albuquerque, they have more larger buildings per contractor than Colorado Springs.
