Your Denver-area home may be in a designated historic district, or it may just be an older home that you appreciate for its craftsmanship and history.

Either way, some features of your home may not be quite so charming:

  • Not enough space
  • An awkward floor plan
  • No master bathroom
  • Low ceilings
  • Dark rooms

 

H & H Builders specializes in historic remodeling that allows you to modernize the home you love in a way that maintains its architectural significance and historical details.

Structural Changes in Historic Remodeling

Many older homes—though quaint—are relatively small and dark, with low ceilings and cramped floor plans.

If you want to open up your home’s layout, bring in natural light, and add new living space, you need more than cosmetic remodeling—you need structural remodeling.

Structural remodeling involves making changes to your home that add or remove load-bearing elements—walls, beams, posts, and foundations.

Historic remodeling can pose unique structural challenges. For example, in Metro Denver, many historic homes have old, load-bearing brick walls that need careful handling.

H & H Builders is the only Denver-area remodeling company owned by a structural engineer.

With us, you can be confident in any structural changes to your home. Not only so—you’re free to reimagine your space any way you like!

Extra Red Tape? No Problem!

Many clients are worried about the extra red tape involved in a historic remodel.

This is especially true if the plans involve changes to a home’s exterior and need to be approved by Denver’s Landmark Preservation Commission.

Don’t sweat it!

We’ve been through the review process on many historic remodeling projects. We know how to work with the city to keep your project moving.

When we renovate your historic home, we’ll also handle any changes that need to be made to meet modern building standards and codes.

But as we work, we’ll be sensitive to your home’s past—whether you want to restore it to its original glory or reimagine it with an eye to its architectural history. 

Our Process: Design-Build Remodeling

In traditional remodeling, you first choose an architect, then get contractors to bid on building the design.

More than 50% of the time, people can’t afford to build what the architect drafts. Yikes!

In addition, you might need to hire a structural engineer and an interior designer.

Then it’s up to you juggle these parties—and referee any misunderstandings and disputes.

The solution? H & H Builders handles everything in-house.

Our Design/Build process integrates the planning, budgeting, design, and construction of your historic remodel under one cohesive team:

  1. Plan: What do you envision for your home? Together, we’ll reimagine your space.
  2. Budget: We’ll set a budget early in the process to ensure that you can build what we create in the design phase.
  3. Design: Because of our design and construction experience, we often have creative solutions you wouldn’t think of on your own.
  4. Build: We make your ideas a reality—transforming your home and improving your life!

 

Our goal is to make the remodeling process as quick and painless as possible. We’ll stage your project to minimize disruptions to your daily life. Contact us today to get started!
