Invest in the Home You Have
“Should I Stay or Should I Go?” **enter song by English punk rock band, The Clash**
Apologies for the earworm to those who know that song!
When the idea of purchasing a new home comes to mind, investing in your current home is not always the first thought. People typically start thinking about what it would be like living in a new home, what a new neighborhood could feel like, and what features the new home may have that they’ve spent years hoping to have in their current home.
So, what’s best? Do you buy or renovate? We say, renovate!
Investing in your current home, rather than buying a new home, has incredible benefits. First and foremost, research has shown that the act of moving is more stressful than a breakup or divorce. And moving is quite likely the most stressful of all life events. For anyone who has moved, they can attest to this. So, moving to a new home is not for the faint of heart.

If you're not going to do it now, you're not going to do it later.
We live in an economic environment where we don't know what the next day will bring... high energy cost and crazy inflation. As we are all aware, this started partly due to the 2020 pandemic. Everyone started working from home and realized that they needed a basement finished or an office built out. Or even just wanted to get their whole house remodel knowing they would be in the house for the long term.
Featured In-Progress Remodel #2130 by Project Manager, Paul Moore
If you follow Maverick, you know we love to share our amazing home remodels to help you feel inspired for your very own home remodeling projects. Well, we’re back with a current home remodeling project in progress that you will love!
This home remodeling project in Littleton, Colorado, consists of a full kitchen remodel, a family room remodel, a brand new powder room, a new large pantry, and a dream mudroom with two entrances, one from the garage and the other from the front door.
The original architectural design of the house is unique, to say the least. Not only are there octagon-shaped rooms in the kitchen and family room, but there are also angles in the walls that connect to the ceiling, which drastically shortened the height of the room. Our original plan was to open up the kitchen area as much as possible by removing a wall and allowing for 10-foot high ceilings creating a clear view of the family room.
With an established goal of raising the kitchen ceilings, the demo quickly began. Well, you can imagine our surprise when we discovered a scissor truss ceiling above the kitchen!

By February/March, many people are still committing to their gym membership or new diet plans – but what about our home maintenance goals?
This is your reminder to give your home some TLC as spring unfolds. Not only will your house look better with a big spring clean, but it will boost creativity and motivation.
National Banana Bread Day & Upgrades for the Baker’s Kitchen
February 23 is National Banana Bread Day! You know the saying, a banana a day keeps the doctor at bay? And, as good neighbors who care about the community’s health, we feel a need to spread the word. To celebrate, we’re cooking up ideas for the ultimate baker’s kitchen and sharing our favorite banana bread recipes!
(Fair warning to anyone who doesn’t find food-based puns ap-peeling: Split now. There will be bunches.)
Love to bake? The best dishes start with the right cooking space. If you want to enhance your quality of life and the value of your home, here are some remodeling design ideas for The Ultimate Baker’s Kitchen.
Prepare for Holiday House Guests with a Well-Stocked Bathroom
Whether they’re spending the night, moving in, or simply over for an evening of wine, a well-stocked, welcoming guest bath is the mark of a great host.
Giving your guest bath some extra attention could be the thing to tie your entire home together. And what better opportunity to WOW guests with your bathroom design than when they’re staying over for the holidays!
Typically, guest bathrooms are small. Although your guests’ visit may be brief, there is no reason it should be uncomfortable. If you’re considering remodeling the space, our contractors can help. We will work with you to make the best plan, considering everything from space, storage, lighting, design, and of course, budget.
What Makes The Perfect Holiday Kitchen
Seasons Greetings! Celebrations are upon us - time to enjoy the holidays surrounded by family, friends, gifts, food, libations, and more. The key to staying stress-free is by maximizing and prepping space ahead of time! And it starts in the kitchen.
The kitchen is the heart of the home, especially at Christmas time. It provides much more than sustenance, it's a space to gather for family fun and make emotional connections. Holiday guests usually equate to extra mouths to feed and larger meals (which means larger messes.)
To help you get ready, here’s a list of our best tips to get your kitchen ho-ho-holiday-ready. Check it once, check it twice…

Renew Your Life? Renew Your Home
Picture your morning routine: You’re running late. Your kitchen is disorganized. You burn your breakfast. You rush out of the door but can’t locate your car keys…
From small changes like adding built-in storage to remodels that implement smart assistants, home improvements have the power to improve not only your home, but your quality of life.
Home is an extension of thy self in so many ways. It is our shrine - each item, handpicked, speaks of you in every way. It is where you can be 100% your authentic self. It is where the heart rests. And, your environment can greatly affect how you operate in the world. So, your home should be a place that recharges you emotionally and makes you feel happier living in it, not one that’s draining and overwhelming.
We all benefit from reevaluating ourselves and making meaningful improvements from time to time. Although pivotal moments may lead to a renewal process, renewal is not a singular event; it’s ongoing! The same is true for your home. As you evolve, so must your space to better suit your needs. And so, renewing your home will renew your life!

Double Duty: Setting Up Multifunctional Rooms
With kiddos going back to school and parents still working remotely, there’s no better time to consider maximizing your home’s space. In the wake of COVID, a versatile interior is essential.

Socializing and relaxing? There are many areas with crossover uses, and that’s precisely where multifunctional rooms come in! Take a look at our list of room combination ideas to help you live large, no matter your home’s square footage.
