About us
Since August of 1980, Better Business Bureau of Southern Colorado has helped consumers find businesses, brands, and charities they can trust serving 25 counties throughout Southern Colorado. BBB of Southern Colorado sets standards for marketplace trust - to create a community of trustworthy businesses and charities - by encouraging and supporting best practices, educating consumers and businesses, celebrating business role models, and calling out and addressing substandard marketplace behavior. BBB of Southern Colorado houses nearly 40,000 reviews on companies in the region. In 2016, it processed 2,660 complaints and had 1.67 million page views on its website. In addition to providing important information and resources to businesses and consumers, BBB of Southern Colorado has developed innovative programs including the Age-Friendly Business Certification, BBB Excellence Awards and the Colorado Institute for Social Impact (formerly the BBB of Southern Colorado Foundation). There are four Better Business Bureaus currently serving the Colorado area: The Better Business Bureau of Southern Colorado, Colorado Springs, CO. The Denver/Boulder Better Business Bureau, Denver, CO Mountain States Better Business Bureau, Fort Collins, CO The Better Business Bureau Serving New Mexico and Southwestern Colorado, Farmington, NM. Your Better Business Bureau System represents the concept of self-regulation in the marketplace through voluntary cooperation. We are a public service supported by private businesses. We are considered an important information resource for businesses and consumers. Although we are affiliated with the 135 bureaus across the U.S. and Canada, each bureau is a separate corporation.

Your BBB is a private, non-profit organization classified as a 501-C-6.

Spring is near! 🌱 That means home improvement scams are, too. Here’s how to hire trustworthy contractors. 🏡 ❗Watch out for "red flags." Say no to cash-only deals, high-pressure sales tactics, high upfront payments, handshake deals without a contract, and on-site inspections. Not all “storm chasers” are con artists, but enough are that you should be cautious any time a home contractor contacts you first…especially after a natural disaster. ❗Ask for references and check them out. Bad contractors will be reluctant to share this information, and scammers won’t wait for you to do your homework. If you can, get references from past customers, both older references to check on the quality of the work and newer references to ensure current employees are up to the task. Check them out at BBB.org to see what other customers have experienced. And always get a written contract with the price, materials, and timeline. The more detail, the better. ❗Know the law. Work with local businesses that have proper identification, licensing, and insurance. Confirm that your vendor will get related permits, and make sure you know who is responsible for what according to your local laws and that your vendor is ready to comply.
