What Skyway is like to work in
Skyway climbs the hills southwest of downtown, largely built through the 1960s and 70s, with winding streets and homes stepped into the terrain. Views are the reason people buy here, and slope is the reason maintenance costs more than it does on flat ground.
The problems that come up most in Skyway
Every part of Colorado Springs has its own pattern of wear. Here is what shows up repeatedly in this one — worth knowing whether you own a home here or service them for a living.
Homes on graded hillside lots experience differential settlement that flat-lot homes do not.
Water moving downhill has to be directed away from structures deliberately, or it finds the foundation.
Steep sites and tight streets complicate staging and add real cost to roof work.
Older retaining structures holding up yards and driveways eventually need rebuilding.
Panels, plumbing and heating equipment of this vintage are long past due.
Trades in steady demand here
Based on the housing stock, terrain and climate described above, the categories that stay busiest in Skyway are:
- Foundation repair

- Electrical
That is also the order we prioritise when a category opens up on the mailer for this part of town. If you run one of these businesses and you want Skyway households seeing your name every month, the card is the most direct route there is.
