Remodeling & Basement Finishing in Arvada, CO

Old soul east, new build west. Arvada gets both from us.

Few cities split their personality like Arvada. Around Olde Town, homes carry decades of character worth protecting through a remodel. Out west in Candelas and Leyden Rock, the houses are new and the basements are waiting. Two markets, one contractor.

A City With Two Jobsites

Respect the old. Finish the new.

Near Olde Town Arvada and in mid-era pockets like Candlelight, Quaker Acres and Lake Arbor, remodeling is a preservation exercise as much as a construction one. The goal is a modern kitchen or bath that still belongs to the house it lives in, with the quirks of older framing and systems handled by people who expect them instead of getting surprised by them.

The far west side plays by different rules. Candelas, Leyden Rock, Spring Mesa and Whisper Creek are young neighborhoods where the job is completion, not correction: finish the basement, upgrade the builder-grade surfaces, build the deck the lot was begging for. West Woods, Meadows at Westwoods and Village of Five Parks sit comfortably in between.

The Practical Part

Jefferson County address, City of Arvada permit.

Arvada handles its own residential building permits through the city, and remodels on older housing stock often draw a closer look at structural and systems work. That's fine by us: we scope that reality into the estimate up front, file the permit, and manage inspections through final sign-off.

We serve every corner, Olde Town to the Candelas edge, plus nearby Fairmount, Applewood and Twin Lakes. Bordering cities have their own pages: Westminster, Lakewood and Broomfield.

Arvada Questions

Old house, new house, same questions.

Can you remodel an older Arvada home without losing its character?
That's the assignment. We keep what gives the house its personality and replace what's failing behind the walls: wiring, plumbing, worn surfaces. The result reads original, just better.
What surprises come up in older Arvada houses?
Framing that doesn't match modern dimensions, systems that have been extended a few times, and the occasional mystery wall. We expect all of it, which is why our written estimates are itemized instead of vague.
We just bought in Candelas. Finish the basement now or wait?
Financially, sooner usually wins: it's the cheapest square footage you'll ever add, and you get to use it the whole time you live there. If a bedroom is part of the plan, the egress window goes in during the same permitted project.
Do you handle Arvada permits?
Yes. The City of Arvada issues residential permits, and filing and managing them is part of every permitted job we take.
