What a Lakewood whole-home remodel involves

Most of Lakewood is a ranch waiting to be opened up.

Lakewood was incorporated in 1969, and the bulk of the city is 1950s and 1960s ranches with small rooms, one bath, and aging systems, sitting on expansive soil at about 5,520 feet elevation. A full remodel is where all of that gets solved at once. Here is what usually turns up.

Opening up the main floor

Ranches in Applewood, Eiber, and Glennon Heights were built with small closed rooms. The number one move is taking out the walls that chop up the floor, sizing beams for the load-bearing ones, and creating an open kitchen, dining, and living space.

Aging systems, all at once

On a full remodel it all surfaces together: galvanized supply lines, an undersized electrical panel, and dated heating. We update the systems while the walls are open, so you are not paying to open them again in a few years.

The one-bathroom problem

Most of these ranches were built with a single bathroom. A whole-home remodel is the chance to add a second bath or a primary suite, and to sequence the work so your family still has a working bathroom through the project.

Planning for expansive soil

The Front Range sits on claystone that swells and shrinks with moisture. We account for slab movement in the basement and lower level, use floating details where they belong, and flag any foundation issue before it becomes a finish problem.

Bear Creek and the low-lying lots

Homes near Bear Creek can sit close to a mapped floodplain, so drainage and grading matter on a big remodel. We make sure water runs away from the house and that any lower level is built to handle a wet season.

One permit, one point of contact

A whole-home job touches structure, electrical, and plumbing, so it pulls a permit with the City of Lakewood, not Jefferson County. We manage the drawings, apply through eTRAKiT, and run every inspection so you have one crew and one point of contact from demo to final.

"They remodeled my bathroom and built a metal railing around my staircase. They did a great job on both projects, timely and responsive to all my requests. I would recommend JAC to anyone in the area."

Lakewood whole-home questions

What homeowners ask us.

Do I need a permit for a whole-home remodel in Lakewood?
Yes. A whole-home remodel touches walls, electrical, plumbing, and sometimes the structure, so it pulls a permit with the City of Lakewood and gets inspected. Lakewood is its own home-rule city, so it is the city, not Jefferson County, and you apply through the city eTRAKiT portal. Your lot sits in a district like R-1 or R-2 under Lakewood Municipal Code Title 18A. We manage the drawings, the permit, and the inspections start to finish.
Can you open up the main floor of my Lakewood ranch?
That is the most common whole-home ask here. Ranches from the 1950s and 1960s in Applewood, Eiber, and Glennon Heights were built with small closed rooms. We remove the walls that make sense, size beams for the load-bearing ones, and turn a chopped-up floor plan into an open kitchen, dining, and living space.
What surprises come up in an older Lakewood house?
On a full remodel it all shows up at once: aging galvanized supply lines, an undersized electrical panel, one small bathroom, and a slab that has moved on expansive soil. We plan for it up front, sequence the work around your one bathroom and panel, and update the systems while the walls are open so you are not back in them in a few years.
Do you remodel newer Belmar condos and townhomes too?
Yes. Belmar was built new starting in 2004 on the old Villa Italia site, so those are modern units rather than old ranches. A full renovation there is about layout, finishes, and working within the HOA rules and shared-wall construction. We handle both the old ranch and the newer unit.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. JAC Enterprise is licensed and insured. License and insurance details come with your written estimate.
