What a general contractor does on your Denver project
A remodel touches a lot of trades. Framers, plumbers, electricians, HVAC techs, drywallers, tile setters, and finish carpenters all need to show up in the right order. Someone has to line that up and answer for it. That's our job.
Even a single bathroom usually pulls in four or five trades. A whole-house remodel needs nearly all of them. Here's how a job runs.
- 01
Walkthrough and written estimate
We walk the house with you and price the work line by line, labor and materials both. You know what you're paying for before anything starts.
- 02
Drawings and permits
We get the drawings done, add an engineer when a wall or beam is involved, and pull the permits.
- 03
Trades and schedule
We book each trade and keep the order tight. Your project manager runs the site and is the one person you call.
- 04
Inspections
The city checks the framing and the rough-ins before the walls close, then comes back for a final. We meet the inspector every time.
- 05
Walkthrough and warranty
We go through the punch list with you and close it out. Then the warranty starts.

Permits, licensing, and inspections in Denver
Colorado doesn't license general contractors at the state level. Cities do. In Denver, Community Planning and Development issues building contractor licenses in classes A through D. A Class C license covers one- and two-unit homes and attached townhomes. That's the residential work we do. You can look up any contractor's license on Denver's contractor page before you sign.
Most real remodels need a permit. Moving plumbing does. So does new wiring, and so does taking out a wall. We pull those permits under our license and schedule the inspections.
The suburbs run their own building departments. Our Thornton deck and bath needed two separate City of Thornton permits, one for each. Arvada reviewed a stamped beam design before we took out a load-bearing wall there.
Two things add time in Denver. Homes in a historic district can need design review for exterior changes. Some HOAs want to approve plans too. We'll tell you up front if either applies to your house.
What it costs, how you pay, and how long it takes
These are the ranges most of our 2026 projects land in.
- Bathroom remodel
- $20,000 to $40,000
- Kitchen remodel
- $25,000 to $85,000
- Basement finish
- $60 to $120 per sq ft
- ADU
- $375 to $450 per sq ft
Where you land depends on scope. Moving plumbing or walls costs more than keeping the layout. So does engineering. Finish level matters too. Older Denver houses can also hide surprises behind the walls.
How long it takes. A Cherry Creek North townhome took eight weeks for five spaces, permits and inspections included. A full Arvada remodel with a structural wall removal took about sixteen weeks.
Warranty. Remodels carry a 12-month warranty on our labor. New builds, ADUs, and additions carry 24 months.
Before and after: one room, one project manager
Drag the slider. This Westminster master bath went from a built-in tub and a separate shower to a walk-in tub and a curbless shower in about five weeks, permit and inspection included. See the Westminster project
Multi-trade projects we've run
Arvada whole-house remodel
What they wanted: an open kitchen in a 3,500 sq ft house, plus a new primary bath.
What we did: took out a load-bearing wall on a stamped beam plan, built the kitchen remodel around it, refinished the floors, and repainted the house. About sixteen weeks.
Wash Park main-level renovation
What they wanted: one open living space on the main floor of a brick home.
What we did: removed a load-bearing wall and set a 20-foot steel beam. We also cut new window openings in the brick and built a white oak staircase. Eight weeks.
Cherry Creek North townhome
What they wanted: five spaces updated on one schedule.
What we did: the kitchen, a primary bathroom remodel, a new second-floor laundry, hardwood floors, and a basement remodel. Eight weeks, permits included.
Thornton deck and hall bath
What they wanted: a deck that didn't drain toward the house, and a better hall bathroom.
What we did: a 280 sq ft Trex deck rebuild on five concrete piers, a cedar pergola, and an 80 sq ft bathroom. About two months.
Thinking bigger? We also build ADUs and room additions, plus custom homes. If you're still sorting out what you want, start with planning and design.
What clients say about how the job was run
Tomer handled everything seamlessly, coordinating both the sewer line replacement and the new HVAC solution with impressive efficiency. The entire process moved quickly, and permit handling was smooth and stress-free.

Do I need a general contractor for a kitchen or bathroom remodel?
If the job moves plumbing, wiring, or walls, a general contractor usually saves you time. Those changes need permits, inspections, and several trades working in order. You can hire each trade yourself, but then you're the one scheduling them and answering the inspector.
Who pulls the permit in Denver?
On our jobs, we do. Verified Builders pulls the permits under our Denver Class C license and schedules every inspection. In the suburbs, we work with each city's building department, since Thornton, Arvada, and the others issue their own permits.
How do I check a Denver contractor's license?
Denver Community Planning and Development keeps the contractor license records, and you can search them through the city's contractor licensing pages. Look for a building contractor license that fits the job. For homes, that's usually Class C. Ours is #LIC00253513.
How do payments work?
You pay a $1,000 deposit to get on the schedule. After that, each payment is a set percentage of the contract, due when a phase of the work is finished. You never pay far ahead of the work.
Do you match other bids?
Yes. Bring us a written bid from another licensed contractor and we'll beat the price, as long as it's apples to apples. That means the same scope of work and the same materials. A lower number for a smaller job or cheaper materials doesn't count.
How long does a whole-home remodel take?
Ours have run from about eight weeks to about four months. A Cherry Creek North townhome took eight weeks for five spaces. An Arvada house with a load-bearing wall removal took about sixteen weeks. Permits, engineering, and material lead times drive most of the difference.
Do you work outside Denver?
Yes. We work across the Denver metro, including Arvada, Thornton, Northglenn, Westminster, Centennial, Littleton, Englewood, Parker, and Highlands Ranch. Each city has its own permit office, and we handle the permits wherever the house is.
