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!
Popular Bathroom Trends Of 2023 (So Far)
To celebrate National Home Improvement Month, we’re giving you VIP access to the hottest remodeling trends we’ve seen in 2023 (so far). What better room to start with than the one we use daily but is often neglected when it comes to design? We’re talking, of course, about the bathroom!
Ever since the onset of COVID-19, cultivating a zen home has increasingly become a top priority. This trend continues in 2023, and bathroom design is all about personalization. This means a steam shower for some, a soaking tub for others, or both!
From modern color schemes to bold fixtures and accessories, there are countless ways to ensure your bathroom is just as thought-out and stylish as the rest of our home.
Here's our list of the best bathroom trends of 2023. Use them to take yours from overlooked to outstanding!
Bring The Outdoors Inside
Ask anyone in Colorado why they love living here, and we guarantee “the great outdoors” will be one of their top replies. And we couldn’t agree more!
That’s why we don’t let our love for CO’s natural beauty stop at our front door. Spending so much time in our homes these past few years has forced us to look at our living space differently. It’s not uncommon to get tired of what you see!
We say throw those doors open, let the sunlight, scent of pine, and mountain air in, and incorporate our love for the outdoors inside.
Show off your love for the outdoors and bring Colorado’s natural beauty into every room with these 8 tips:

Fall Checklist For Home Maintenance
Sweater weather is coming! And that means it’s time for your home’s seasonal maintenance. Taking steps now is key to keeping your home looking and functioning great as you transition into winter months.
We wish all we needed to do to prepare for fall was to break out the throw blankets and candles, and buy a decorative gourd or two. But unfortunately, being a homeowner comes with responsibilities. While everything may seem tip-top now, winter storms can bring cold temperatures, power failures, etc., and a little maintenance now will make your life easier later.
Creating The Ultimate Home Office
In today’s world, whether your office remains closed post-COVID, your children are in hybrid school, or you simply need a quiet area to get work done, having a workspace at home is almost a necessity. Rather than setting up a temporary spot at the dining table or attempting to work on the couch, consider breathing new life into your home with a dedicated home office.
Having a remote setup has many benefits, including increased productivity, savings on commute time and expenses, freedom to create your ideal space, and flexibility. Here are tips for designing an office at home.
Featured Remodel #2112 by Project Manager, Paul Moore
Not all home construction projects are created equally! Some are quick and easy, like a kitchen backsplash or wallpaper removal; others, not so much. Recently, we completed a home remodeling project, #2112, which happens to fall in the latter category. This home remodel consisted of a kitchen remodel, a fireplace facelift, family and dining room updates, a master bathroom remodel, an additional window installation, and a laundry room addition in the unfinished basement. Whew! Quite the remodel - Challenge accepted! Read below about the journey we took to help these homeowners realize their exact vision.
Spring Time is Renew Time
Ah… the smell of spring flowers popping up from their winter runoff nourishment pales in comparison to the smell of a home remodel! We might be biased, but we definitely love the smell of spring in Colorado, too. It’s also the perfect time to begin planning your very own home remodeling project. So, grab a cup of coffee, snuggle up in your favorite comfy chair and dive into planning mode!
Fire Prevention & Preparedness
Like many Coloradans, we too, had friends impacted by the Marschall Fire in Boulder County earlier this month. The devastation was surreal and sparked several conversations surrounding fire safety and the reality that wildfires don’t only happen in the mountains. Sitting at the base of the foothills, our community could face a similar catastrophe. As such, our team wanted to share helpful fire prevention measures for your home and for your community.
Three Places Building Community and Compassion
The holiday season is upon us and it’s time to take stock of what matters most. Faith, community and compassion are the reason for the season. Maverick Home Remodeling, Inc. is just one part of our great community, and we are using this blog as an opportunity to highlight other parts of our community that exemplify the values we believe matter year-round. These places are open to donations or are looking for volunteers. So if you’ve got the time or resources, we encourage you to spread some love this holiday season!
The Winchester Mystery Mansion: A Remodel That Lasted Nearly 40 Years
Angry spirits, a fortune built from death and psychic mediums? The Winchester Mansion is the spookiest remodel of all time, but how does that relate to Maverick Home Remodeling? When you’re thinking about remodeling, it’s crucial to align your intentions, vision and what you are willing to invest. If anybody can teach us something about the intention, vision and investment of remodeling your home, and because it is officially spooky season, we believe that person would have to be Sarah Winchester.
