General Contractor Serving Loveland, CO
A licensed general contractor next door in Fort Collins, handling repairs, maintenance and smaller projects in Loveland, with larger remodels, additions and custom homes across the Front Range.
Loveland is one town south of our base
Loveland sits just south of Fort Collins, which puts it squarely inside the territory where we take repairs and smaller projects. The bigger jobs, meaning remodels, additions and custom homes, reach across the wider Front Range.
What follows is organized by the kind of house you own, because a Loveland home built in the 1950s and one built in the 2000s need different things from a contractor.
Match the work to the house
Downtown and older neighborhoods
Post-war houses with original wiring, older plumbing, small kitchens and basements that have seen some water. Most jobs start as repairs and grow into a plan for a kitchen or bath. Where original trim, doors and windows can be saved, we repair them and match new work to what is there.
Established suburban streets
Homes from the 1970s through the 1990s often still have their original kitchens, baths and roofs. Typical calls are for aging decks, tired flooring, and a roof reaching the end of its life. See roofing and outdoor living.
Newer development and acreage
Newer subdivisions toward the interstate have their own punch lists. Acreage and rural lots add wells, septic, outbuildings and county rules, and they are where custom homes and additions most often start.
Water, ditches and basements
Loveland grows up around the Big Thompson River, Lake Loveland and a network of irrigation ditches, and the area has a long memory of flooding. For a homeowner that translates into two habits: pay attention to grading and downspouts, and treat any basement moisture as a problem to solve before it becomes a project to finish.
Cracks that reopen after each spring, a musty smell after heavy rain, and staining along the base of a wall all point to water, not cosmetics. We track down the source, repair the damage, and only then talk about finishing the space. For storm and flood-related damage claims, our storm restoration page covers the process.
The west edge and the road to the canyon
Homes on the west side of Loveland and along the highway toward Big Thompson Canyon see more wind, stronger sun and harder freeze-thaw than homes in town. Decks, fences, exterior paint and roof edges wear first. The exterior remodeling page explains which materials handle that exposure best.

Questions people ask first
Do you work in Loveland even though you are based in Fort Collins?
Yes. Loveland is the next town south, and repairs and smaller jobs here are part of our normal territory, alongside Windsor, Timnath and Fort Collins. Bigger projects can go further.
Because the two towns are neighbors, a Loveland visit does not turn a small repair into an all-day trip.
Is my Loveland basement ready to finish?
Not until the moisture question is settled. Groundwater is a bigger factor for homes near the river, lake and irrigation ditches than for homes on higher ground. We look at grading, downspouts, window wells and any past staining before recommending drywall.
Once it is dry, finishing is a good project. It needs egress for any bedroom, correct framing and a permit. See our interior remodeling page for how basements go.
I live outside Loveland city limits. Who issues my permit?
That depends on where your parcel sits. Properties inside city limits go through the city. Properties outside them are generally handled by Larimer County, and the requirements are not always the same.
We confirm the correct office before we price anything, and rural properties often add a well, a septic system or a private road to the conversation.
What should I fix first on an older home?
Water first, then safety, then comfort, then looks. A roof leak, a bad gutter or a failing downspout does more damage each month than a dated kitchen ever will.
After water come electrical and plumbing concerns, and after that insulation, windows and finishes. A short walkthrough is usually enough to put your list in order.
Can you build a custom home or an addition in Loveland?
Yes, and those larger projects are open across the Front Range. Sites on the edge of town or on acreage bring questions a city lot does not: access, drainage, a well and septic, and how far utilities have to run.
Start with the custom home building page or the home additions page, and we will look at the site before talking about numbers.
