What We Build Here
Most of our work as a remodeler in Arvada falls into a few groups. The city had 124,402 people in the 2020 census, and its homes span more than a century.
- Kitchen remodeler projects that open up closed kitchens
- Basement remodeling for dated lower levels
- Bathroom remodeler work, from tub swaps to full rebuilds
- Home remodeling across several rooms at once
We bring the same crew and the same process we use everywhere as your remodeler.
Homes With a Long History
Any remodeler working here sees homes from every era. Gold was found on Ralston Creek on June 22, 1850, the city was incorporated in 1904, and it boomed after the war, from 2,359 people in 1950 to 19,242 in 1960.
That boom left a lot of ranch homes with original kitchens and baths. Older homes near Olde Town can hide old wiring and undersized beams. Newer neighborhoods often have basements that were never finished.
We check the framing, wiring and plumbing at the first walkthrough, so the estimate covers what the house really needs.
How Permits Work in Arvada
Every remodeler working here files through Building Services at 8101 Ralston Road, or online at arvadapermits.org. The city covers its homes in both Jefferson and Adams counties.
Simple permits that do not need plan review are usually issued within one business day. Bigger projects that need plans take longer, and a major project can take four to six weeks for the first review.
Inspections run Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and someone 18 or older has to be home during each one.
Contractor Licensing
A remodeler doing paid work here needs a City of Arvada contractor license, renewed every year. Owners working on their own owner-occupied home can pull a residential permit without one.
Most people still hand the permit off, since whoever pulls it is responsible for the work passing inspection. Ask any contractor for their city license before you sign.
