Colorado sun and big day-night temperature swings are hard on exterior paint, so south and west elevations usually fail years before the rest of the house. In Lakewood specifically, mid-century ranches and split-levels dominate, and many have had additions or finished basements done under older codes.

Permits: Denver issues its own building permits through Community Planning and Development; the city and county are the same jurisdiction here.
