Denver metro
From the Tech Center to Boulder, with the travel fee on the quote
We work the Denver metro from a Colorado Springs base. The south metro, Parker, Lone Tree, Castle Pines and the Tech Center, sits in or next to our home zone and often carries no travel charge. Denver proper, the west side, Golden, Arvada, Westminster and Boulder add a flat travel-zone fee, and it is on the quote before you approve it, not on the invoice afterward.
The work is the same as anywhere else. 811 marks the utility companies' lines up to the meter; we mark the private lines past it, with an electromagnetic locator for what carries a signal and ground-penetrating radar for what does not, painted in APWA color code at the approximate horizontal location, no depth, and anything we could not find in writing.
Work we have done in the metro, from the job log: sixteen water valves located on a private system in the Denver Tech Center; EV parking stations located for a property owner in Denver; a locate on Park Meadows Drive in Lone Tree; an electric line traced on Stallion Drive in Parker; a residential locate in Westminster; 127 potholes verified for a telecom contractor on a Westminster fiber job; and a parking lot in Boulder marked for an engineering firm ahead of an EV charging survey.
Residential locates are a flat rate for the visit; commercial sites go by the half-day or day. Send the address and what you are doing through the request form, or call or text (719) 800-4937, and we send a firm number, travel included, within one business day.

Denver metro questions
Questions we get from the Denver metro
Anything else, call or text (719) 800-4937.
811 marked my lines in the Denver metro. Why do I still need you?
Because they marked their lines, not yours. The 811 members mark the gas, electric, water and sewer they own, up to your meter or the end of their own line. The gas to the fire pit, the power to the shed, the irrigation, the sewer lateral from the house to the main and the line to the well are private, and none of them are on that ticket. Those are what we mark.
How fast can you get to a Denver metro address?
Usually within a few days, and same-day or next-day when the schedule allows. Send the address and what you are digging through the request form, or call or text (719) 800-4937. You get a firm quote within one business day, often the same day, and once it is approved with the deposit the date is held.
Do you give the depth of the lines you mark?
No. We mark the horizontal position on the surface in APWA color, and we do not give depth: a number that is off by a foot is worse than none. Hand-dig or pothole to expose a line before you cross it with a machine.
