Built for Front Range conditions
The Denver metro sits in one of the most active hail corridors in North America, so roof, gutter and siding claims come in waves after big storms. At 5,280 feet, intense UV ages paint, sealants and asphalt faster than at sea level. Daily temperature swings and freeze-thaw cycles open gaps around windows and crack concrete. And much of the metro sits on expansive, bentonite-rich clay that can heave basement slabs and crack foundation walls.
Unlike most Sun Belt metros, Denver has basements, millions of square feet of them unfinished. That makes basement finishing, egress windows and radon mitigation core projects here. Colorado is in the EPA's highest radon zone, and a basement remodel is a natural time to test and mitigate.
Denver housing at a glance
- 1890s–1920s: Victorians, Denver Squares and bungalows in Capitol Hill, Highlands, Baker and Washington Park. Plaster walls, old wiring, rubble or brick foundations, and landmark district rules in some areas.
- 1945–1965: brick ranches in Harvey Park, Virginia Village, Krisana Park (Cliff May designs) and much of Lakewood and Arvada. Small kitchens and one bath, so people want basement finishes and pop-tops.
- 1970s–90s: split-levels and two-stories in Aurora, Littleton, Centennial and Westminster, now on their second or third roof.
- 2000s–today: Highlands Ranch, Stapleton/Central Park, Green Valley Ranch and Castle Rock. Mostly upgrades and unfinished basements.
