Remodeling & General Contracting in Arvada, CO

Remodeling & general contracting in Arvada

Arvada wears its history well: Olde Town’s brick storefronts and water tower anchor a city that grew outward decade by decade — post-war ranches and split-levels through its east and central neighborhoods, 1970s–90s two-stories farther out, and new construction still rising in Candelas, Leyden Rock and West Woods to the northwest. For remodeling, that spread is the whole story. Arvada has one of the metro’s deepest inventories of solid, well-located mid-century homes whose kitchens, baths and basements are ready for their second act.

As a licensed, insured general contractor based in nearby Greenwood Village, BH Builders manages every trade in-house or under one roof — so Arvada homeowners get a single point of contact, a fixed written scope, and one crew accountable from demolition to the final walkthrough. No juggling subcontractors, no finger-pointing.

Arvada homes we work on

East and central Arvada run heavily to 1950s–70s brick ranches and split-levels — great framing, generous lots, compartmentalized floor plans that open up beautifully. Northwest Arvada adds 1990s-to-new two-stories with big unfinished basements. Our most common Arvada projects: opening mid-century kitchens to the living space, finishing basements into suites and theaters, and updating primary baths in homes that never left original condition. A large share of the older stock predates 1978, so lead-safe practices are a routine part of how we work here.

Permits & building codes in Arvada

Most remodeling work in Arvada — anything touching structure, electrical, plumbing or mechanical systems — requires a permit and inspections. We handle the entire process so your project is code-compliant and on record, which protects both your safety and your home's resale value.

• Local permits. Arvada permits and inspections run through the City of Arvada Building Services. We file with them directly and schedule every inspection for you.
• The full Arvada permit picture. Fees, timelines, quirks and the documents you'll need are all covered in the Arvada section of our Denver-metro permit guide — including a free permit & fee estimator.
• Licensed trades. Colorado electricians and plumbers are state-licensed — you can verify any contractor's license through the Colorado DORA license lookup.
• Lead-safe work. Much of east and central Arvada predates 1978, so federal lead-safe renovation practices apply to a large share of projects here. See the EPA Renovation, Repair and Painting program.
