Older-Home Remodeling in Denver, CO

Houses with a past need a contractor who respects it.

Early-1900s bungalows, Denver Squares, brick Tudors: Denver's core neighborhoods were built by hand a century ago, and remodeling them is a different trade than finishing a suburb. Old framing, old systems, small rooms with big potential. That's the work.

Denver's Bones

Compartments out, daylight in.

The floor plans of Platt Park, Berkeley and West Highland were drawn when kitchens were workrooms you closed the door on. Today's owners want them open, and getting there means structural work done properly: load paths traced, beams sized, permits pulled with the City and County of Denver. The reward is a bungalow that lives twice its size.

In Washington Park, South Park Hill and Cory-Merrill, the classic requests are original kitchens and baths brought up to the house's own standard, without the flip-house look. Newer chapters like Central Park and Lowry play by suburban rules instead: basements, upgrades and additions. We move between the two without missing a step.

Working Downtown's Rules

Denver permits its own way.

The City and County of Denver runs its own permitting system with its own requirements, and older homes routinely trigger closer review of structural and systems changes. We plan for that instead of being surprised by it: scope first, engineering where needed, permit filed, inspections managed.

Hilltop, Cherry Creek, Belcaro, Country Club, Wellshire, University Park, Sloan's Lake: if it's Denver proper, it's on our map, along with nearby Holly Hills and Welby. Bordering areas have their own pages: Lakewood, Commerce City, Centennial and Aurora.

Denver Questions

What century-home owners ask.

Can you open up my bungalow without wrecking its character?
Yes, and that's the whole craft. The wall comes out, the casings, floors and proportions stay true to the house. Done right, it looks like the bungalow always wanted to be open.
What's hiding in a 1910s Denver house?
Dimensional lumber that doesn't match modern sizes, knob-and-tube era wiring in odd corners, plaster over brick, and plumbing that's been remodeled twice already. None of it scares us, and all of it belongs in an honest written estimate.
Is a pop-top or an addition realistic on my lot?
Often, but it starts with zoning and structure, not sketches. We scope feasibility first so you spend money on drawings only when the answer is yes.
Do you work in Denver's newer neighborhoods too?
Yes. Central Park and Lowry homes bring the suburban playbook: basement finishes, kitchen upgrades and outdoor projects, permitted the Denver way.
