You are racing through the sky at the speed of light, your 9 reindeer plow through the bitter cold air. You begin your descent to a home miles below because someone there made the nice list. Swinging your bundle of toys on your shoulder, you approach the fireplace. The fireplace has definitely seen better days. It’s got some cracks, it’s got some dust, and it’s pretty dated. The last time you saw a mantle with peach bricks and white wood, you gagged. It’s not that you’re a snob; you just see every fireplace in the world, so you have a refined palette. You pull your least requested toy; the Harry Potter Invisibility Cloak will do for these people. And it’s not that you’re petty. It’s that whoever owns this home had the audacity to make you crawl through that musty fireplace, and now your famous red suit has to go to the cleaners. This is the Christmas they deserve. You fly far, far away back to the North Pole, questioning if they deserve a nice list after that ghastly chimney... You may need to reevaluate your criteria.
Tub Time… Take Me Away
Between the biting cold of the outside world and the internal bustle that comes with the holiday seasons, we all need something nice to escape to. It’s time to immerse yourself in the glorious idea of a master bathroom remodel. Picture it with us: It’s the day after Thanksgiving, the family is gone, and the kids are griping about eating leftovers for the (*take a moment to gasp*) second night in a row. You’re feeling wiped out. What’s going to make that a little better? We think the answer could be found between a few candles... in a bubbly tub... with a glass of wine. And alright already, we’ll concede we’ve written about bathroom remodels and renovations a few times on our blog.
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.
A Kitchen Nightmare On Your Street
Let's creep it real. Kitchens can be a real nightmare to remodel. When you commit to a complete remodel, it usually makes a whole chunk of your house unusable. You might have to live in the basement (or, worse, Elm Street). Since the beginning of the pandemic, home remodels have become all the rage. Staying in is the new going out. Do you believe that people can dream what's going to happen? Because Freddie isn't the only one interested in turning dreams into reality. At Maverick Home Remodeling, we like making your dreams come true. Remodeling dreams; not the kind that requires a crucifix.
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.

Remodeling Your Home: Make Peace, Not War
Not many people know that there is an International Peace Month, let alone that it falls in August. With peace in mind, meditate on increasing the peace in some of our favorite places in our home. Everybody's favorite sanctuary looks a little different depending on their needs. To get your “Ohmmm” on, a little peace and quiet is best reached in your bedroom with some alone time. You might spend time in your bathroom, especially if you enjoy self-care. Maybe your basement gives you the space to Zen-out. We want to talk about the potential for all three spaces.

Maverick Behind The Scenes
Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes of a home remodel? Us too!
Just kidding! We know a thing or two about home remodeling. And when you think that BTS is a film-only thing, think again! A lot goes on behind the scenes of a home remodel and you’d be surprised at how organization, communication and dedication play an incredible role in the success of a home remodeling project. It’s kind of like a movie score.

Realistic Construction Timelines | 2021 Edition
It goes without saying, people were VERY ready to kick off 2021! The feeling of a New Year brings about many new opportunities including a reset on the previous year. The ability to make New Year’s Resolutions, or what we like to call, New Year’s Commitments is refreshing. But as we entered 2021, we started feeling the impact of the previous year’s experiences.

H2-OHH YEAH
March 22nd, 2021 officially marks the United Nations World Water Day. This year the focus is on the value of water, specifically what water means to each of us as humans that inhabit this beautiful planet of ours. So what a better way to not only talk about how important water is in the home, but how incredibly fortunate we are to live in this beautiful state. Colorado happens to be a headwater state and the origin of four major river basins, which supply water to seventeen downstream states and two countries. Now that’s worth recognizing!
