Renovations
Kitchens, bathrooms, basements, additions, whole-house remodels. Boulder County.
Get an estimateA renovation is the kind of project where carpentry, electrical, drywall, tile, paint, and finish work all end up in the same room. It’s also the kind of project where the client makes about five times more decisions than they thought they would.
We’ve done bathrooms, kitchens, basements, additions, and whole-house remodels across Boulder County. Most projects run between $15,000 and $50,000, and take one to six months.
What we do, what we don’t
We do:
- Kitchens, bathrooms, basements, additions, whole-house remodels
- Carpentry, electrical, tile, trim, drywall up to about three sheets, painting, finish work
- The repairs and cleanup other trades leave behind
We bring in trusted specialists for:
- Rough plumbing and drainage
- Hardwood flooring
- Drywall over three sheets
- Whole-house painting
The honest reason is simple: there are people who do those things faster and better than we would. When the job calls for them, we hire them — and we still run the project.
What to expect, start to finish
1. First call
We talk through what you’re imagining, your timeline, and whether our schedules line up. Quick, no pressure.
2. Walkthrough
We come look at the space and ask a lot of questions. Some you’ll have answers to, some you won’t — that’s normal. We help you work through the decisions about tile, lighting, and finishes.
3. Estimate
A written estimate with a rough timeline, then a round or two of back-and-forth tweaking the scope to fit your budget.
4. Demo
If there’s existing work coming out, this is where it happens.
5. Rough work
Supply lines, drains, electrical, lighting, structural carpentry, framing changes — anything that has to go in before the walls close up.
6. Floors, walls, ceilings
Drywall, tile, ceiling work, and flooring.
7. Trim, paint, finish
Baseboards, casing, tile trim, paint, then lighting, switches, outlets, fixtures, and the details that make a space feel finished.
8. Walkthrough and punch list
We go through everything together against the original contract. Anything bigger becomes a change order.
9. Final payment, project done
Invoicing happens along the way — always clear before the project starts.
A few things worth knowing before you start
For every decision you think you have to make, there are about five. We’ll walk you through the cascades, but renovations involve more decisions than most people expect.
Change orders are normal. When something comes up, we write up a change order with the updated scope, timeline, and cost before any new work starts — nothing gets added to your bill without you signing off first.
By the end, something will have gone sideways. Budgets stretch, timelines push. That’s true of every renovation anyone has ever done. The question is whether you and your contractor can figure it out together when it happens. That’s the part we take seriously.
A project we’re proud of
A client called us about a porch that had been built badly by another contractor and was already falling apart. They’d had a rough experience and were tentative about hiring anyone again.
We peeled it back to a foundation we could build from, saved what was worth saving, and rebuilt the rest. The finished porch changed how the whole front of the house looked.
The part we’re most proud of isn’t the carpentry. It’s that they trusted us after being burned — and the trust held all the way through.
What you can count on
From Zach, on every renovation:
I clean up after myself. Every day, before I leave. That’s the standard, and it holds for anyone working with me.
I notice the things you didn’t ask me to notice. The sticking door, the screw that needs tightening, the threshold that isn’t level. I fix them because they should be fixed.
I tell you what I don’t know. Old homes have surprises behind the walls. I’ll name the unknowns up front, and we’ll figure them out together.
