Arvada’s Geological and Building Challenges.
Arvada properties face unique environmental pressures that require specialized construction standards. We target issues specific to the Jefferson County landscape.
Expansive Soils.
Much of West Arvada is built on volatile clay soil. If foundations are not properly engineered, "soil heaving" can cause severe structural cracking and interior slab movement.
Building Envelope Failures.
In Arvada’s high-density townhomes and lofts, we frequently identify failures in moisture barriers and roof-to-wall transitions that lead to hidden rot.
Drainage Defects.
Improper site preparation in the Arvada foothills often results in improper water runoff, threatening the stability of retaining walls and foundations.
The Hearn & Fleener Advantage for Arvada Properties.

Frequently Asked Questions.
-
Common symptoms include significant cracks in drywall or foundations, windows that no longer sit flush, or persistent moisture near the base of exterior walls. These often indicate systemic issues rather than simple wear and tear.

Under CDARA, most claims must be filed within two years of discovering the defect. Additionally, the Statute of Repose generally limits claims to six years after the building was finished, making early investigation critical.

No. We offer our Multi-Phase Investigation at no upfront cost to the association. We believe boards should have a complete technical analysis before making any legal decisions.

Yes. We have a long history of successfully litigating against the country’s largest developers. We have the financial resources and technical experts required to match their legal teams.

While many of the same principles apply, commercial and apartment claims often involve different contractual nuances. Our firm is experienced in navigating both residential and commercial defect litigation.
