150 Years of Housing in One City
Arvada spans more housing eras than almost anywhere on the Front Range — an 1870s railroad town core, a huge mid-century build-out, and new subdivisions still going up on the west side. The right project depends entirely on which Arvada you live in.
East Arvada's Mid-Century Stock
The 1950s–70s subdivisions between Olde Town and Sheridan are where we find the most structural work. Nailed ledgers, missing flashing, and shallow footings are common on decks of that age, and they get corrected first.
West Arvada's New Construction
Candelas, Leyden Rock, and Whisper Creek are recent builds with sound framing and HOA design review. The work there is usually a surface upgrade, a covered structure, or a railing that clears review — not structural repair.
Open West-Side Exposure
The western subdivisions sit high with very little windbreak and long sightlines toward the foothills. Pergolas get anchored for real wind there, and cable or aluminum railing outperforms solid panels that catch it like a sail.
City of Arvada Permits
Arvada runs its own building department, separate from unincorporated Jefferson County. We pull the city permit and coordinate the footing and final inspections, and handle HOA submittals in the newer western communities.
Engineered footings, low-maintenance surfaces, and covered structure — the same approach we bring to Arvada backyards.
Built for Arvada's Two Halves
Arvada sits at 5,344 feet in Jefferson County and covers more ground and more housing eras than most Front Range cities. There is an 1870s railroad town at the center, a vast mid-century suburb around it, and new subdivisions still being finished on the western edge.
That split defines the work. In east Arvada, decks are typically 40 to 60 years old and the job usually starts structural — nailed ledgers, no flashing, and post bases in direct contact with concrete are all common on housing from that era. In Candelas, Leyden Rock, and Whisper Creek, the framing is sound and the conversation is about surface, shade structures, and clearing HOA design review.
The western communities also sit higher and more exposed, with long open sightlines toward the foothills and correspondingly more wind. We anchor covered structures for it and steer toward cable and aluminum railing, which let wind pass rather than catching it. Permits go through the City of Arvada, which runs its own building department separate from unincorporated Jefferson County.

What Colorado Homeowners Are Saying
Deck Doctor is a wonderful company that I will use again! Brandon is a general contractor with experience in many types of outdoor construction. His crew were ideal — respectful, hard-working, very knowledgeable, cleaned up behind themselves. The project was well priced and done in a timely manner.
Had the pergola built last December, could not be happier. Took me quite a while to write a review but 10 stars all around. The team they have is amazing! Would definitely recommend!
Brandon and his team are amazing! They do what they say, when they say, and the quality of work is top-notch. My deck needed a complete overhaul due to rotting wood. His crew showed up early and cleaned up thoroughly every single day. Highly recommend!
One of the best experiences I have had with a contractor. Brandon walked me through the options and was honest and straightforward. Everything he said would happen, happened and on time. The final product is perfect!
