CR Custom Exteriors – Arvada, CO

Roofing, siding, windows, gutters, and exterior paint built for Arvada's hail, foothill winds, and high-altitude sun.

Family-owned · Licensed & insured · 4.9★ from 150+ Front Range reviews · Serving for over a decade

From the 1950s and '60s ranch homes around Olde Town and Lake Arvada to the newer builds out in Candelas and Leyden Rock, Arvada's housing runs the full range of ages and exterior systems. CR Custom Exteriors is a family-owned, Erie-based contractor that's worked the Front Range for over a decade, and we know how differently a half-century-old roof and a ten-year-old one age out here. We handle roofing, siding, windows, gutters, and exterior paint with experienced crews and no storm-chaser pressure.

Arvada sits on the northwest edge of the Denver metro where the plains meet the foothills, and that position shapes everything about a home's exterior. The city sits squarely in the Front Range hail belt, so spring and summer storms rolling off the mountains regularly batter shingles, gutters, and siding. Its western neighborhoods near Standley Lake and the foothills catch strong downslope and Chinook winds that lift shingles and drive rain behind siding, while Colorado's thin, high-altitude air lets UV bleach paint and dry out roofing faster than it would at sea level. Older east-side homes near Olde Town often carry decades-old roofs and original wood trim that needs real attention, while the newer west-side subdivisions are now hitting the age where their first roofs and builder-grade gutters start to fail.

We know Arvada's hail belt

Sitting where the foothills meet the plains, Arvada takes direct hits from spring and summer hail storms. We inspect for the impact bruising and granule loss that quietly shortens a roof's life, and we install impact-rated systems built to hold up to the next storm.

Built for foothill wind and sun

Homes on Arvada's west side near Standley Lake and the foothills catch hard downslope and Chinook winds, while high-altitude UV punishes south-facing paint and shingles. We spec and fasten roofing, siding, and exterior paint to handle both, not just a calm day.

Right approach for every Arvada home

Arvada spans 1950s-'60s ranches around Olde Town and brand-new builds in Candelas and Leyden Rock. We tailor the work to the home in front of us, whether that's a full tear-off on aging east-side roofs or replacing failing builder-grade gutters and siding out west.

Do I need a permit to replace my roof or siding in Arvada?
Yes. Most of Arvada falls under the City of Arvada building department, so a roofing or re-side permit is typically pulled through the city, and inspections apply once work is done. A small portion of Arvada extends into Adams County rather than Jefferson County, so confirm your specific jurisdiction before starting. We handle the permitting as part of the job and verify the right authority for your address.
How does Arvada's weather affect my roof and exterior?
Arvada sits on the northwest edge of the metro where the plains meet the foothills, so homes here take a mix of intense high-altitude UV, spring and summer hail, and strong downslope winds off the foothills. That combination chalks paint, cracks aging shingles, and works fasteners loose over time, while freeze-thaw swings stress caulking and flashing. Whether you're in Olde Town Arvada or a newer area like Candelas or Leyden Rock, we inspect for hail bruising, wind lift, and worn sealant that tend to show up first.
Which Arvada neighborhoods do you serve, and do you cover nearby areas too?
We serve all of Arvada, from historic Olde Town and West Woods to the newer western communities like Candelas, Leyden Rock, and Whisper Creek. We also cover the surrounding towns, including Wheat Ridge, Westminster, Golden, and Broomfield. If you're not sure whether your street is in our area, just reach out with your address and we'll confirm.
Can you help with a hail insurance claim after an Arvada storm?
Yes. Arvada gets hit by Front Range hail and wind most spring and summer seasons, and that damage often qualifies for an insurance claim. We provide a free inspection, document what we find, and can meet your adjuster on-site so nothing gets missed. Coverage and deductibles vary by policy, so confirm the specifics with your own insurer, and we'll walk you through the process.
