What defines contemporary mountain style?

It’s a restrained, natural look that uses wood, stone, and metal in simplified forms. The goal is timelessness—rooted in nature but with a crisp, architectural edge.

How do you change the exterior of a home without rebuilding it?

Through new cladding, updated windows and doors, refined color palettes, and minor adjustments to proportions, we created a dramatic transformation without altering the core structure.

What permits are required for an exterior renovation in Colorado?

Any significant changes to siding, windows, or structure require a building permit. If located within an HOA or fire zone, additional approvals or mitigation plans may also be needed.

Is it worth investing in exterior updates for resale or enjoyment?

Absolutely. A refreshed exterior boosts curb appeal, improves energy performance, and can dramatically shift how a home feels and functions in its setting.
