When the lot is right and the neighborhood is right, adding on or renovating often makes more sense than moving. These are the residential projects where a general contractor with commercial experience earns its keep: foundations, structure, roof tie-ins, and every trade in sequence.
We build additions and take on whole-home remodels across Loveland, Fort Collins, Berthoud, and the rest of Northern Colorado.

What an addition involves
An addition is a small new house attached to your existing one. It needs a foundation suited to local soils, framing that ties into the existing structure, a roof that sheds water where the two meet, and mechanical systems sized for the added space. It also has to fit the setbacks and lot coverage limits of your zoning.
We work through those questions with you and the designer before the drawings are finished, so the plan you fall for is one that can be permitted and built for the budget.
Older homes
Remodeling an older home means dealing with what is behind the walls: outdated wiring, undersized framing, and materials that need careful handling. We open things up methodically and tell you what we find before it becomes a surprise on the invoice.

Final walkthrough
We walk the finished work with you, close out inspections, and take care of the punch list before we call it done.
Common questions
Do I need an architect for an addition?
You need permit drawings, and most additions need structural engineering. We can work with your architect or connect you with a designer or drafter suited to the size of the project.
Is it cheaper to build up or out?
Building out is usually simpler if the lot has room. Building up avoids new foundation work but involves the existing structure, the roof, and more disruption inside the house.
Can we live in the house during a whole-home remodel?
Sometimes. It depends on how much of the house is affected at once. We will be straight with you about whether phasing the work or moving out for a stretch makes more sense.
