Prepare Your Denver Home’s Foundation Before Winter Hits
As the summer heat fades and the school year gets underway, life in the Denver Front Range quickly shifts into high gear—school drop-offs in Aurora, little league games in Lakewood, Friday night lights in Highlands Ranch, and weekend watch parties in Fort Collins, Greeley, or Arvada.
But while you’re settling back into your routine, there’s one important task that shouldn’t be forgotten: making sure your home’s foundation is ready for Colorado’s winter.
Why Fall Is the Best Time for a Foundation Check
From Jefferson County to Douglas, Arapahoe to Adams, Larimer to Weld, and the City and County of Denver, the Front Range’s mix of hot summers and cold winters can be tough on foundations.
If you’ve noticed any of these warning signs, now’s the time to act:
- Cracks in walls, floors, or brickwork
- Sinking or sloping floors
- Doors or windows that stick or don’t align properly
- Gaps between walls, ceilings, or floors

Address Issues Now, Avoid Bigger Problems Later
Foundation problems rarely go away on their own. In fact, they tend to worsen, leading to higher repair costs and more disruption. Fall is an ideal time for repairs because it comes before holiday gatherings, heavy snow, and freezing temperatures making work more difficult.
Plus, if you’re considering concrete lifting for uneven sidewalks, driveways, or patios, keep in mind that the season wraps up once frost sets in.
