Risk-Free Property Evaluations for Loveland Properties.
We eliminate the guesswork of property management by providing a structured, four-phase forensic framework.

No cost inspection.
A forensic assessment by specialized engineers to identify latent defects in your community’s infrastructure.
No cost findings report.
A technical document that provides the evidence needed for informed, high-stakes legal decision-making.
The Four-Step Process: Forensic Discovery for Boards & Owners

Site Analysis.
Technical investigators perform high-resolution surveys of your property, from downtown mid-rises to sprawling West Loveland subdivisions, to map moisture intrusion and structural decay.

Foothills Forensic Analysis: Navigating Loveland’s Environmental Stressors
Hearn & Fleener’s deep-rooted Northern Colorado heritage provides our team with a sophisticated understanding of how Loveland’s specific micro-climatesfrom the high-velocity downslope wind events of the Big Thompson Canyon to the volatile alluvial soil shifting near Boyd Lake—interact with modern building materials to trigger premature envelope decay and foundation instability that standard Denver-based firms often overlook.
Bentonite Soil.
Much of Loveland sits atop volatile, expansive soils. If foundations weren't engineered with deep-pier systems, this soil movement can buckle luxury finishes and snap concrete slabs.
High-Wind Sheer.
Located at the mouth of the Big Thompson Canyon, Loveland assets face extreme wind events. We identify where builders failed to meet high-wind securement standards for siding and roofing.
Floodplain Pressure.
In developments near the river or irrigation canals, inadequate site drainage leads to water intrusion in underground structures, compromising critical support columns.
The Hearn & Fleener Difference: Why Loveland Properties Choose Our Team
While many firms treat construction litigation as a secondary practice, our team views every Loveland recovery through a specialized lens of high-altitude engineering and proactive asset protection. We bridge the gap between complex forensic data and aggressive courtroom advocacy, ensuring that your community’s restoration is funded by the responsible developers rather than the homeowners’ reserves.
-
Our team doesn't just settle, we win. We recently secured an $8.5 million arbitration award for a Colorado community after a builder refused to provide a reasonable settlement. We have the resources and the record to match the defense teams of the largest national developers.
-
Since the early 1980s, our focus has been exclusively on construction defect law. This legacy provides our Loveland clients with a distinct advantage in negotiations, as we have seen and successfully litigated every builder shortcut in the Northern Colorado book.
-
Our mission is to ensure that repairs are funded by those responsible, not by the residents. We work to recover the total cost of remediation so that your board can avoid the need for devastating special assessments or increased monthly dues.
-
We have a proven record of standing by NoCo associations when warranty companies and builders walk away. From representing groups of individual homeowners to large master-planned communities, we find creative solutions to restore property values and structural safety.
Frequently Asked Questions.
-
Monitor for symptoms like windows that bind in their frames, moisture stains near balcony entries, or hairline cracks in common area masonry. In Loveland, pay close attention to wind-driven water intrusion near the foothills.
-
Recent Colorado law requires 65% of owners to approve a lawsuit before it is filed. We help Boards manage this process, providing the forensic data needed to educate residents on the benefits of taking action.
-
No. We assume the entire financial burden of the investigation and expert fees. We only recover these costs if we successfully secure a financial award for your community.
-
Yes. If your Centerra development was marketed as high-efficiency but has substandard sealing or HVAC issues, this constitutes a defect. We ensure your asset performs to the standards you were promised.
-
While the Statute of Repose is generally six years, the Statute of Limitations requires you to act within two years of discovering a problem. Early forensic detection is critical to preserving your legal rights.
-
Unresolved defects are what truly hurt property values. A professional, well-funded recovery plan shows buyers that the Board is proactively protecting the community's future and ensuring the building's integrity.
