Tariffs are not a new concept, but they’re back in the news so let’s talk about how tariffs may or may not impact the home remodeling industry.
We recently sat down with Maverick Home Remodeling Inc President, Adam Berlin, for a quick discussion on tariffs and how they might impact the home remodeling industry – especially from a customer’s perspective. When asked, “Are tariffs going to affect the price of home remodeling?" Adam simply answered, “Yes, no and maybe.”

Fall In Love With Custom Built-ins
Imagine this. It’s a fall day, 45 degrees outside, late afternoon, with a slight mist in the air. Now that the scene is set, let’s continue on. Now, imagine lighting a fall scented candle, pouring yourself a warm cup of coffee (or perhaps a cup of warm apple cider), grabbing a blanket, snagging your favorite romance novel (or Steven King novel, if you’re into that), and snuggling up to the pillows that live in your window reading nook as part of the gorgeous custom built-ins you just had installed in your home. You’re welcome for that incredible experience! Oh, you don’t have custom built-ins? You’re missing out! But don’t fret, we’re here to help inspire you.
When you hear custom built-ins, also known as built-in cabinets or built-in furniture, you might think to yourself, “Do people have these in newer modern homes, or are they strictly for the older homes around Denver proper.” We’re here to tell you, custom built-ins are for ALL homes of ALL ages and ALL styles. So, here’s the story...
Remodel #2130 Part II: The Progress Report by Project Manager, Paul Moore
You know we love sharing projects that INSPIRE! So we’re back with an update and completion of last month's blog, Featured In-Progress Remodel #2130.
The scope for this Littleton, Colorado project consists of a complete kitchen remodel, family room upgrade, new powder room, new large pantry, and a dream mudroom with two entrances - one from the garage and the other from the front door. After completing this project, this home is not only a new wonderful living space but now the perfect home for entertaining! So let’s do a tour…
The original plan was to open up the kitchen area as much as possible by removing a wall and allowing the existing 10-foot high ceiling to create a clear view of the family room. However, once we discovered the kitchen had a scissor truss ceiling, our opportunity for this remodel really opened up!
Scissor trusses meant none of the interior kitchen walls were load-bearing and could be removed. We adapted our initial plans, removed the existing kitchen walls and ceiling, and opened up the room.
The result is a true open concept for the entire main level, complete with 24-foot vaulted ceilings - instead of the initially planned 10 ft ones. See for yourself!

How to Choose the Right Color Palette for Your Home
The saying goes, “A rose by any other name would smell as sweet," but would a house of a different color be as inviting?
Whether you realize it consciously or not, color is fundamental to the world around us: in nature, in fashion, in your loved one’s features, and at home. Choosing a hue can be powerful because of our personal associations with colors and how subjective our perceptions are. If you ever disagreed about the color of an object (maybe a certain dress is blue/black or white/gold), you know what we mean.
Just as your taste in clothing and type of car reflect your personality, so do the colors of your house and the rooms inside. Color psychology has the power to affect your mood, energy levels, and that of your guests.
