Broomfield, CO General Contractor
Broomfield sits between Boulder and Denver, and most of its homes were built in the past few decades. Radiant Homes serves the city with the full list of services, from first-roof replacements to additions and new builds.
The 1990s and 2000s homes hit their second act
Much of Broomfield was built from the 1980s onward, so a large share of houses are now between fifteen and thirty-five years old. That is when original roofs, decks, carpet, water heaters and exterior paint come due, often within the same few years.
Planning those together is usually calmer than reacting to each failure as it happens.
What comes due first
Roof and exterior
Asphalt shingles, siding and trim from the original build. After hail, a roof and exterior check gives you a baseline to work from.
Deck and yard
Wood decks wear fast in sun and snow. You can replace boards, rebuild the structure or move to a patio or covered space.
Interior finishes
Builder-grade kitchens, baths and flooring from the original build, ready for updates or a wider interior remodel.
One city, one county, one set of questions.
Broomfield is both a city and a county, and many of its neighborhoods also have associations. Settle these early.
- Which association covers your street
- Whether a metro district is involved
- Permit needs for the scope of work
- Setbacks for an addition
- Fence and deck rules
- Exterior color and material limits
Hail country
The Denver metro area sits in one of the most hail-active stretches of the country, and Broomfield is no exception. Streets built in the same years tend to have roofs of the same age, so hail often finds many houses at once.
Photograph your roof and gutters before storm season. If a storm has already hit, the storm restoration page walks through the claim from the first photo to the repair.

Questions people ask first
When should I replace the roof on my Broomfield house?
Age is one signal and condition is the other. A roof approaching its second decade, with granules in the gutters, curling shingles or past hail damage, deserves a close look.
A walkthrough tells you whether repair is enough or replacement is due. See our roofing page for what the work involves.
Do I need HOA approval to replace a deck?
Often you do, particularly if the footprint, materials or color change. Covenants vary from one neighborhood to the next.
Read yours first and get written approval before work begins, because an unapproved change can be ordered undone.
Is Broomfield part of Boulder County?
No. Broomfield is its own city and county, separate from the Boulder, Adams, Jefferson and Weld counties around it.
That can simplify which office you deal with. We confirm the details for your address when we write the scope.
Is a deck or a patio the better replacement?
Wood decks need regular sealing and eventual rebuilding. A concrete or paver patio asks for less upkeep but is harder to build over a slope or a walkout.
It comes down to your yard, your budget and how much maintenance you want. Both are covered on the outdoor living page.
Can you refresh a whole house at once?
Yes, and for a home this age it often makes sense. Roof, windows, paint, flooring and a kitchen or bath can be phased in a sensible order so that you are not living in a work site longer than necessary.
Start with a list of everything that bothers you, and we will sort it into a plan.
