Service Areas
Where We Build Across the Denver Metro
Colorado Building & Construction is based in Arvada, and that’s where you’ll find us most days, but it’s not the only place we build. Nathan Reynolds has spent over 25 years building decks, patio covers, and pergolas across the Front Range, and he’s still the one showing up to your consultation and your final walkthrough, no matter which city the job is in.
Arvada — Our Home Base
Arvada isn’t just a service area for us. It’s where the company started in 2000, and it’s where Nathan still lives and works today. If you’re in Arvada, see our dedicated Arvada page for details on permitting, neighborhoods, and pricing specific to the city.
Also Serving
We build custom decks, patio covers, and pergolas throughout the greater Denver metro. Each city below has its own permitting quirks and site conditions, and we’ve built through all of them.
Westminster
Westminster exempts some smaller projects from permitting, freestanding decks under 30 inches and at-grade patios under 120 square feet don’t require one, but most deck, patio cover, and pergola builds do. We confirm which rule applies before we design anything.
Golden
Sitting where the foothills meet the plains, Golden properties see intense UV exposure and sharp temperature swings that stress lumber differently than lower-elevation builds. Some Golden addresses fall under the city’s building division, others under unincorporated Jefferson County, and sloped or rocky lots near the foothills need site-specific footing plans.
Lakewood
Lakewood splits its structural requirements down the middle: standard load rules apply east of Kipling Street, while anything west, closer to the foothills, needs engineering for winds up to 155 mph. We design to whichever standard your address falls under.
Broomfield
Broomfield runs as a combined city and county government, and exterior projects like decks, covered patios, and pergolas typically move through review in two to three weeks once a complete application is submitted.
Centennial
Incorporated in 2001, Centennial is one of the newer cities in the metro, and several of its neighborhoods sit on expansive clay soil that shifts with moisture, which matters for footing design. Portions near Cherry Creek and Dry Creek also fall in flood-hazard zones, and most HOAs here require their own design sign-off alongside the city permit.
Highlands Ranch
Highlands Ranch has no municipal building department. It’s unincorporated Douglas County, so the county reviews the structural side of your project while the community association reviews the appearance, materials, and placement. Both approvals are typically required before we can start.
Littleton
As the Arapahoe County seat and a home-rule city, Littleton runs its own permitting process separate from the county, with an added county open space tax on top of standard permit fees. Historic Downtown Littleton properties sometimes carry additional review considerations we account for up front.
Castle Rock
Which office handles your permit in Castle Rock, the Town’s building division or Douglas County, depends on your specific zip code and address. HOA design review is common in nearly every neighborhood here, and the town has adopted the Colorado Wildfire Resiliency Code, which can affect exterior material choices depending on your property’s fire risk classification.
If your city isn’t listed above but you’re within the Front Range, give us a call. There’s a good chance we already work in your neighborhood.
