Colorado's State Plumbing Board lets a homeowner do plumbing at their own residence only if the homeowner personally does the work and the property is not for sale, resale or rent and is not generally open to the public. The work must also be inspected before it is covered and again on completion, and must comply with the adopted plumbing code. A permit from the State Plumbing Board or the local building department is required before starting.
Under the State Plumbing Board's rules, a plumbing contractor must obtain permits for the work the company does, and must not use a homeowner-issued permit or a permit issued to another company.

Before you hire
Have fuel-burning appliances such as a furnace or boiler inspected by a professional at least once a year.
Get written quotes from at least three contractors for the same work, and check references from recent clients.
Put it in a written contract: the work, price, deposit, start and finish dates, warranty, permits and clean-up. Paying cash to skip it leaves you no recourse.
