February is known as the month of LOVE, which means we celebrate the rooms people tend to love the most throughout their home. When you think of what people love, you probably think of rooms like the living room or the master bathroom. But sometimes what people love most are the areas of their home that provide the best function. Areas like a laundry room, a mud room, a basement or even a closet. That’s right, people really love a closet! Well, a good closet.
Kitchens. Cabinets. Appliances. OH MY!
There is a reason for our ‘Wizard of Oz’ reference - designing your kitchen can either be a real ride through a tornado or a smooth ride through the clouds on a hot air balloon. Much like Dorothy experienced, following the yellow brick road through your kitchen design really does lead to the Emerald City!
So let’s follow the yellow brick road together!
New Years Resolution vs. Commitment
Most people look at the New Year as a time to reset and restart. For most, it’s a time to change their life for the better. Resolutions often include a new diet to lose weight, purchasing a gym membership also to lose weight, spending less time on social media, traveling and much more. While these are amazing resolutions, many people tend to drop their resolution within the first two months of the new year. Many failed resolutions are due to the fact that most people focus on the end goal instead of the journey. When the end goal isn’t met quickly, a person’s desire to continue dwindles. So, the question must be asked, is it better to make a New Years Resolution, or is it best to make a New Years Commitment where the journey is the focus?
Your Storage Solution
In anticipation of all the great gifts you’ll receive this holiday season, where exactly you’ll be storing all your new (and old) stuff?
Storage inside your home is essential. Pantries, bedroom closets, linen closets, built-ins and cabinets all provide great opportunities for storage within your home. But what if you need more space? Perhaps there is an under-utilized bedroom in the house that can be converted into a large closet. Or a wall that is ideal for ceiling-to-floor bookshelves. Or an unfinished basement that can be turned into additional living space. We’re just scratching the surface on your home’s potential. But, all it takes is a little bit of creativity and a plan. And, that’s how we can help you make more space and storage for your stuff!

Create Your Home Office With Maverick
COVID has thrown many of us for a loop. One of the biggest changes that has come from the pandemic is the requirement for employees to work from home. Most people are setting up shop on their kitchen table, bar top or even their coffee table. And let’s be honest, watching soap operas while working is fabulous but not very productive.

Barbecue, gardens, fire pits - oh my! It’s summertime in Colorado, which means beautiful summer hikes, outdoor grilling parties, road trips and finally, temperatures in the 90’s.

How Reliable is a Free Estimate?
Picture it. Your Town, USA 2020 - You have decided it is time to remodel your home. So, you begin your quest by seeking a free quote to better understand your remodeling costs. A contractor comes out, looks at your project and gives you a “free” estimate. You quickly realize that the estimate shows a range of $50k – $70k. That’s a pretty big range! But now you really want to know what it will precisely cost to complete your remodeling project.
