Denver was founded in 1858, and its buildings still carry every decade since: Gold Rush-era brick, streetcar-suburb Victorians, postwar ranches, converted warehouses and a former airport turned into a planned neighborhood. Allstar Electrical Services has worked across that mix since 2000 from our shop at 3311 E. 42nd Ave in north Denver. We are licensed, bonded and insured, and we handle residential, commercial and industrial electrical work under one roof.
One Electrician, Three Kinds of Customers
Homeowners call us for repairs, panel and service upgrades, EV chargers, aluminum wiring replacement, basement and remodel wiring, surge protection and standby generators. Realtors and sellers rely on us to clear electrical items flagged in home inspections before closing. Commercial and industrial clients use us for new construction and design-build projects, commercial lighting design, UPS systems, low-voltage cabling, access control and CCTV, infrared panel scanning and ongoing facility maintenance contracts.
That range matters in a city where a single block can hold an 1880s rowhouse, a brewery and a five-story apartment building.
Permits and Inspections in the City and County of Denver
Electrical permits inside city limits run through the City and County of Denver's e-permits system, managed by Community Planning and Development, and the work is inspected before walls close or power is energized. Homeowners can pull some permits themselves after passing a homeowner exam, but any electrical subcontractor hired on a Denver job must be licensed in the City and County of Denver. Allstar pulls the permit, schedules the inspections and corrects anything the inspector notes.
Some neighborhoods add another layer. Denver has dozens of designated historic districts, and exterior alterations in them go through Landmark Preservation design review. Large buildings face their own rules: the Energize Denver building performance policy covers buildings of 25,000 square feet or more, which often drives lighting retrofits and electrical upgrades.
Neighborhoods We Serve Across Denver
Each part of the city brings different wiring, so we have written separate guides for the areas we work in most:
- Downtown and the river: LoDo, Ballpark, RiNo and Curtis Park
- Northwest: Highlands and LoHi
- East and central: Central Park, Park Hill, Congress Park, Cheesman Park and Cherry Creek North
- South-central: Bonnie Brae and Denver Country Club
We also serve surrounding metro cities, where permits come from that city's own building department rather than Denver's.
