Broomfield’s Environmental & Geological Challenges.
Broomfield properties are subject to distinct geological and atmospheric conditions that demand uncompromising construction standards. Our firm specifically targets the regional defects most prevalent in this North Metro corridor.
Foundation Distress.
The bedrock and soil across much of Broomfield contain high concentrations of expansive clay. If a developer fails to engineer foundations with properly seated deep piers or moisture-mitigation systems, the resulting soil movement can buckle basement slabs and trigger catastrophic structural cracking.
Water Management.
In Broomfield’s high-density residential developments, we frequently uncover systemic failures in the "building envelope." This includes improperly integrated window flashing and substandard moisture barriers that allow water to penetrate the structural framing, leading to hidden rot and mold growth.
Infrastructure Defects.
Rapid development in areas like the 80023 zip code often results in inadequate site preparation. When surface grading and drainage systems are not correctly calibrated to the local topography, it leads to standing water and erosion that compromises the stability of retaining walls and shared community assets.
The Hearn & Fleener Distinction for Broomfield Properties.
Whether you are navigating a master-planned Broomfield HOA, a luxury apartment complex, or a mixed-use urban center, Hearn & Fleener provides the technical authority required to secure accountability. We utilize the Colorado Construction Defect Action Reform Act (CDARA) to ensure your association secures the remediation funding necessary for permanent repairs without burdening homeowners with special assessments.

Our team utilizes elite technological tools—including infrared thermography, moisture-detection probes, and non-destructive testing to expose latent construction flaws that conventional inspections and general contractors frequently overlook.
-
We maintain a prestigious track record of securing substantial settlements for Colorado property owners, having successfully navigated claims for communities devastated by large-scale structural collapses and systemic mechanical errors.

We eliminate the financial barriers to justice by assuming all preliminary costs for forensic research and litigation, guaranteeing that your association can pursue its rightful claim without any immediate budgetary impact or out-of-pocket risk.
-
Our firm prioritizes the fiduciary health of the communities we serve by providing the clear legal frameworks and consistent communication necessary for Board members to safeguard the long-term equity and safety of their residents.
Frequently Asked Questions.
-
Property owners should remain vigilant for "red flag" symptoms such as persistent drywall separation, masonry or brick veneer cracking, windows that are increasingly difficult to latch, or unusual moisture staining near foundation footings. These are often indicators of underlying soil heaving or structural distress rather than standard building settlement.
-
Under the Colorado Construction Defect Action Reform Act (CDARA), associations typically have a two-year window from the moment a defect is first observed to initiate a claim. Additionally, the Statute of Repose generally bars any legal action six years after the project’s substantial completion, making immediate forensic verification essential to preserve your rights.
-
No. We perform our entire Multi-Phase Investigation, including the forensic site survey and the archival document audit at our own expense. We believe that boards should be armed with a complete technical understanding of their property’s condition before making any formal legal commitments.
-
Absolutely. We specialize in litigating against the country’s largest builders. Hearn & Fleener possesses the financial resources, expert witness network, and technical depth required to stand toe-to-toe with major developer legal teams and secure the recovery your community deserves.
-
While the physical failures (like leaking roofs or cracked foundations) may be identical, the legal framework varies. HOA claims are often governed by CCIOA and the association’s bylaws, while apartment or commercial claims focus more on individual contract law and professional negligence. We provide specialized legal strategies tailored to each property class.
-
Because we operate on a strictly contingency-fee basis, we absorb all upfront litigation costs, engineering fees, and expert expenses. This allows your association to maintain its reserve funds and daily operations while we pursue the builder for the capital needed for permanent repairs.
