Homes in Denver’s older neighborhoods — Hilltop, Mayfair, University Park — were built between the 1920s and 1960s. That age means electrical panel upgrades, outdated plumbing rough-ins, and load-bearing surprises. We find them before they find your budget
Do I need a permit for a home renovation in Denver?
Almost certainly yes — and the consequences of skipping them surface at resale, when unpermitted work needs to be torn open and re-inspected at your cost. As a licensed Colorado GC, we manage every permit, every stamp, every inspection through Denver Community Planning and Development. You don’t fill out a single form
Why Remodel Now?
With rates above 6%, moving means giving up your locked-in mortgage for a higher one — and paying a premium for someone else’s dated finishes. The math increasingly favors staying and investing. A finished basement adds 10–15% to appraised value. A kitchen remodel returns 60–80% at resale. In Denver neighborhoods where homes trade between $600K and $900K, that’s real money
