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!

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…
Welcome Chase Babcock!
Join us in welcoming Chase Babcock into the Maverick Home Remodeling, Inc. family! Chase joins us as our new Project Manager.
Chase was born in Highlands Ranch, Colorado where he grew up playing lacrosse, football, and enjoyed building different projects in his spare time. Chase graduated in 2020 from Colorado Mesa University with a BA in Science.

He then moved on to continue to learn more about sales at Eagle Rock Distributing where he was an Account Manager. He lives with his roommate, girlfriend, and 3 dogs. His passions outside of construction are teaching his girlfriend and friends how to fly fish, spending time with his family, and duck hunting.

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.
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.
Good vs. Bad: What’s The Difference When It Comes To Contractors?
You ever heard of him? This character might have promised top-tier quality that appears sub-par after installation. Maybe the estimated quotes increased significantly… then doubled… then tripled? Is this “quick” remodel past the estimated time? Before you shared details about your upcoming home remodel, you got at least one earful about the capital B - “Bad Contractor.” You’ve undoubtedly heard warnings from friends and family that ranged from cautionary tales to horror stories.
