What we see in Denver whole-home remodels

A full Denver remodel is the time to fix everything at once.

The small older homes in this city were built for a different way of living: one bath, closed rooms, and systems from another era. A whole-home remodel lets us solve all of it together. Here is what usually drives the project.

Most Denver whole-home remodels we work on are in homes near Cherry Creek and the South Platte River, built not long after the city was founded in 1858. At 5,280 feet elevation, the dry mile-high air and the old expansive clay soils are part of every job here, and a few of these blocks sit inside a Denver historic district.

The pop-top on a small lot

In Berkeley, Sloan's Lake, and Cheesman Park the lot is worth more than the little house on it. A pop-top adds a second floor and a primary suite without leaving the neighborhood. We handle the structure, the new stair, and how the addition ties into the original roofline so it looks like it was always there.

Opening the closed floor plan

Bungalows and Denver Squares were built room by room, walled off. Whole-home remodels almost always mean taking out load-bearing walls and carrying the load on a beam, so the kitchen, dining, and living areas finally connect.

Wiring and pipe from another era

Open the walls on a pre-1950 Denver home and you find knob-and-tube or cloth wiring and galvanized supply lines. A full remodel is when we update the panel, rewire what needs it, and replace old pipe, so the systems are done once instead of failing one at a time.

One bathroom, one panel

The hard part of a whole-home job here is sequencing around a single original bathroom and one electrical panel while people still live in the house. We plan the order of work so you keep a working bath and power as long as possible.

Old heat and swamp coolers

A lot of older Denver homes still run boiler and radiator heat or a rooftop swamp cooler. During a full remodel we plan the mechanical updates, whether that is keeping and improving the radiators or moving to forced air and real air conditioning.

The permit set and inspections

A whole-home remodel touches structure, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical, so it pulls a full permit set with City and County of Denver through their E-permits system and gets inspected at each stage. One crew and one point of contact keeps the trades and the inspections on schedule.

"From the first phone call I knew I was going in the right direction. They gutted my bathroom and remodeled it within the time they said, and went above and beyond to clean up and make sure I was satisfied daily. The professionalism from the quote to the work being done was extremely satisfactory."

Denver whole-home questions

What homeowners ask us.

Can you do a pop-top or a second story on my Denver house?
Yes. Pop-tops are one of the most common whole-home projects in Denver bungalows and squares, where the lot is great but the house is small. We add the second floor or raise the roof, add a primary suite, and plan the stair, the structure, and the permit so the addition ties into the original house cleanly.
Do I need a permit for a whole-home remodel in Denver?
Yes. A full remodel touches structure, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical, so it pulls permits with City and County of Denver and gets inspected at each stage. We handle the permit set and the inspections. Confirm current fees with the city.
My older Denver home has old wiring, one bathroom, and boiler heat. Can that all be updated at once?
That is exactly what a whole-home remodel is for. In older Denver homes we often update knob-and-tube or cloth wiring, replace galvanized pipe, add a second bathroom, and rework the layout together, so the systems are done once instead of one emergency at a time.
How long does a whole-home Denver remodel take?
It depends on scope, but a full-house remodel is usually a few months, longer with a pop-top or addition or when we wait on the city and on structural work. We give you a real schedule up front and keep you posted as each trade comes through.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. JAC Enterprise is licensed and insured. License and insurance details come with your written estimate.
