The Perfect Colorado Basement

If you live in the state of Colorado, your basement is more than a bonus space, it’s a pressure valve for busy households and a prime canvas for adding livable square footage without changing your home’s footprint. When done right, a Colorado basement becomes the most versatile floor in the house. A floor where movie nights happen, laundry runs efficiently, a home gym actually gets used, guests sleep comfortably, and there’s still room for smart storage.

At Maverick Home Remodeling, Inc., we’ve spent more than two decades throughout Littleton, Ken Caryl and beyond, turning underused lower levels into finished spaces that look sharp and work hard in Colorado’s climate. From layout and lighting to materials, mechanicals, and those basement must-haves, this blog breaks down what makes a perfect Colorado basement.

When Your Home Remodel Meets Security: From Wired to Wireless in Colorado

When homeowners in Colorado undertake remodeling, whether finishing a basement, renewing a primary bathroom, or upgrading kitchens, the opportunity is ripe to think beyond aesthetics. One of the often-overlooked upgrades in a home remodel is a home security system. As wiring is exposed, walls are opened, or ceilings are removed, it's the perfect time to thoughtfully integrate or upgrade security infrastructure.

Security systems, however, are not what they used to be. Meaning, they are much more robust and include motion detection, water level detection, glass break detection and more. And, security systems can now be wired or wireless. So, let’s walk through the differences between wired and wireless systems, how to leverage a remodel for smarter security, and what to consider specifically.

The Best Rooms to Remodel in Your Colorado Home for Comfort, Style & ROI

If you're a Colorado homeowner dreaming of a home makeover that blends comfort, style and a solid return on investment, you've landed in the right place! You likely already know that we’re advocates of investing in the home you have – just check out our blog last month titled, “Don’t Move - Renew!” But, what rooms are the best to remodel? After 20+ years in business, we’ve got an answer for you. Whether you are soaking in mountain views from your oversized living room windows or entertaining guests on your back deck, thoughtful and strategic home renovations help elevate your space, breathe new life into your home, enhance functionality and can add significant value to your home.

While every room has potential, certain areas of the home, like rooms with running water, offer a much higher return on investment and enhance your daily life more significantly than others. Let's explore the top four rooms to remodel in your home.

Fall Into Fun

We absolutely LOVE experiencing fall in Colorado. And, we aren’t alone - folks from all over the world flock to Colorado during the fall to experience all our beautiful state has to offer. From the autumn colors that blanket the majestic rocky mountains to the crisp air and fall smells, you can pack the next few months with fantastic road trips, scenic hikes, exceptional camping, and mountain town adventures.

COLORado - you see what we did there? While there are several other states in the union that boast their very own gorgeous fall spectacular, to us, there is nothing like Colorado. Perhaps it’s our altitude, or maybe it’s the simple fact that in the US there is nothing like the Rocky Mountains. Whatever you think, the Aspen’s that blanket our mountains and display the most beautiful shades of gold cannot be beat.

A few years back we shared a few of our favorite road trips around Colorado. And while these can be done at any time, we like them best during our autumn months. We’re sharing them again!

New Year, New Home, New You!

For most, the new year is a time to change life for the better. To focus on things like a new diet to lose weight or purchase a gym membership that never actually gets used and eventually becomes a pain to get rid of. Make plans to travel to exotic destinations or focus on major upcoming life events like a wedding or graduation. But oftentimes, many skip what is most obvious for a change… one’s own home.

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!

Remodeling Advice from a Project Manager

This month we asked our Project Manager, Paul Moore, what advice he has for homeowners when doing a remodeling project.  In true form, Paul's advice reflects good old fashion adage. Communication is key, mindset matters, and patience is a virtue.

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:
