The Verified Builders Difference: Our Stress-Free 5-Step Process
We eliminate the common “horror stories” of remodeling through a professional, meticulously planned process.
As licensed contractors (License #: LIC00253513), we manage every stage from concept to completion.
Step 1: Personalized Vision & Budget Alignment
We start with a detailed site visit and listening session.
We establish clear objectives, set an immovable budget ceiling, and define your functional needs.
This phase determines the overall scope—from cosmetic updates to structural reconfigurations.

Step 2: Smart Design & Permit Management
Our in-house design team converts your vision into 3D renderings and detailed construction documents.
We proactively handle all necessary Denver building permits and architectural approvals, ensuring compliance with local codes and minimizing delays.
Step 3: Precise Demolition and Structural Rough-In
This is the foundational work:
- Structural: Removing load-bearing walls and re-framing the new layout. This foundational stage is just as critical as the process we follow for a brand-new Custom Home Build.
- Systems: New Plumbing, Electrical, and HVAC lines are installed (often required for older Denver homes).
- We maintain a clean, organized, and safe worksite daily, protecting the rest of your home.
Step 4: Installation & High-End Finishing
We bring the space to life.
This phase includes the installation of major components, where material selection directly impacts budget and timeline:
- Custom or semi-custom cabinetry and countertops (Quartz/Granite). If your primary goal is to upgrade the wet areas, we also specialize in dedicated Kitchen Remodeling and Bathroom Remodeling services.
- Flooring (Hardwood, Engineered wood, or high-end tile).
- Interior trim, paint, lighting fixtures, and final plumbing fixtures.
Step 5: Final Inspection and Handover
Before final payment, we conduct a thorough quality check with you.
We review all systems, ensure all punch list items are complete, and coordinate final inspections with the City of Denver, leaving you with a clean, fully realized home.

Why Renovate Everything At Once?
Cost Efficiency:
Bundling structural, plumbing, and electrical work eliminates redundant permits and separate mobilization costs.
This is also the ideal time to consider ADU & Room Additions to maximize your property’s footprint and value.
Design Consistency:
Ensures seamless flow and material cohesion across every room—no patchwork upgrades.
Future-Proofing:
We integrate modern solutions like smart home systems, energy-efficient windows, and updated insulation to protect your home long-term.
This includes utilizing untapped space, such as converting underused areas—like the Basement Finishing process—into functional living space.
We can also integrate new outdoor living spaces with custom Deck Building.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Whole House Renovations
How much does a whole-house renovation typically cost in Denver?
The cost varies significantly based on the size, scope, and level of finishes selected.
For a professional, whole-house renovation in the Denver Metro Area, you should anticipate a budget starting at $150,000 for mid-range projects and $300,000 or more for high-end, custom projects involving structural changes.
We recommend budgeting a 10–20% contingency for unexpected findings during demolition (e.g., issues with old Denver plumbing or electrical).
How long does a full home renovation project take to complete?
The average timeline for construction and completion of a whole-house renovation is typically 3 to 8 months.
This timeframe is dependent on the complexity and scope (e.g., structural changes add time).
Note that this is the construction phase; the initial design and permitting phase often takes an additional 4–8 weeks.
Can I live in my home during a whole-house renovation?
For extensive whole-house renovations, temporary relocation is strongly recommended.
While we work to minimize disruption, projects that include demolishing the kitchen, replacing major systems (plumbing/electrical), or performing large-scale structural work make the home unsafe and virtually uninhabitable for extended periods.
Will a whole-house renovation increase my home's value (ROI)?
Absolutely. A comprehensive whole-house renovation is one of the most effective ways to significantly boost your property’s resale value, especially in the competitive Denver housing market.
We focus on high-ROI areas like kitchens and bathrooms, which consistently deliver some of the best returns on investment for homeowners.
Do I need permits for my renovation, and who handles them?
Yes, most substantial whole-house renovations require permits from the City and County of Denver (or your specific municipal jurisdiction).
As your Denver General Contractor, Verified Builders handles the entire permitting process, including drafting plans, submitting applications, and coordinating all required municipal inspections.
Is Verified Builders a licensed General Contractor in Denver?
Yes. We are a licensed and insured General Contractor serving the Denver Metro Area.
Our active contractor license number is LIC00253513.
