Full-Service Demolition in Arvada

Olde Town's older properties often need careful interior and outbuilding demolition, while the newer west-Arvada developments bring deck, shed, and lot-clearing work. We adapt to either and keep the job clean from start to finish.

Demolition Permits in Arvada

Arvada Building Services, 720-898-7620, issues the demolition permit. The Arvada wrinkle is water and sewer: abandoning the existing lines needs its own demolition permit, reviewed in 7 to 10 business days, with the lines abandoned at the main and a Colorado 811 locate on file. Olde Town properties fall under the historic district design guidelines and need a certificate of compliance for exterior changes. Disturbing more than 10,000 square feet triggers a site disturbance permit with erosion control.

Everywhere in Colorado, the structure has to be inspected by a state certified asbestos inspector first, and CDPHE needs a demolition notification on file for ten working days before the teardown, even when no asbestos is found. Utilities get disconnected and documented before the city issues the permit. We prepare and coordinate the whole package and build the lead time into the proposal.

Rules and fees change. We confirm the current checklist with the city for your address when we scope the job. Full city by city rundown: demolition permits in the Denver metro.

Arvada Homes and What It Means for Demo

Arvada runs the full range. Olde Town and the blocks around it are pre war and 1920s houses on small lots, where careful interior demo and outbuilding teardowns are the norm and the historic guidelines apply. The middle of the city, from Wadsworth out past Ward Road, is 1950s through 1970s ranches with detached garages, big sheds, and finished basements due for a restart. West Arvada, Candelas, Leyden Rock, and West Woods, is new construction, so the work there is decks, hot tubs, patio covers, and lot clearing. We are based here and most of our crew lives in Arvada or next door.

Serving Olde Town Arvada, Candelas, Leyden Rock, and West Woods, and the rest of Arvada. We demo it and haul it away in one job, insured and local.
