West Denver Metro
Home specialists for the West Metro.
Basement finishing, roofing, and outdoor living for Lakewood, Golden, Arvada, Wheat Ridge, and the west metro. Local specialists who know the housing stock and the codes.
About home projects in West Metro
The west metro spans from Lakewood and Wheat Ridge in the urban edge to Evergreen, Conifer, and Genesee in the foothills. That elevation change matters — foothills properties have different building codes, snow load requirements, fire mitigation considerations, and access logistics than flatland homes.
Jefferson County is the primary jurisdiction. Lakewood, Golden, Arvada, and Wheat Ridge each have their own permit processes for incorporated areas.
Older Lakewood and Wheat Ridge homes often have basements that need full updates — outdated finishes, code-compliance issues with egress, and HVAC capacity that doesn’t support modern finished loads. Foothills homes typically have more complex outdoor living needs given the topography and views.

Learn more →Permits and local regulations in West Metro
Jefferson County handles permits for unincorporated areas including most of Evergreen, Conifer, and Genesee. Lakewood, Golden, Arvada, and Wheat Ridge handle their own permits within their incorporated boundaries.
Foothills properties have additional considerations: snow load (often 30–40 psf versus 25 in the metro), fire mitigation requirements, septic systems instead of city sewer, and well water considerations. Roofing in fire-prone foothills areas requires class A materials and may require additional fire-mitigation work to the home as part of permitting.
Many foothills HOAs require fire mitigation compliance for any major project.
Note: Permit requirements change. Your matched specialist will confirm current requirements for your specific project and jurisdiction.
