"We couldn't be happier with Dave's overhaul of our fireplace. His attention to detail, and commitment to excellence. We feel so lucky to have found him after another contractor flaked out on us. He came to the rescue & did whatever it took to get the job done on time and on budget. He is highly skilled and capable. Several times during the job he suggested things that would enhance the finished product. In doing so he created more work for himself. These upgrades probably added a full day of additional work. He didn't change the cost for the job, he just wants his customers to be happy. His attention to detail and cleanliness blew our minds. He spent a full day getting the room taped off to prevent dust from spreading throughout the house. A full day!?!? And it paid off when the work was done...we're not even hiring a cleaner. More than anything Dave's got a good heart, my wife and I genuinely enjoyed meeting and working with him. (Note: no AI was used in writing this review!)"

"Rocky and his team did a phenomenal job renovating my newly purchased apartment.

He had a very detailed scope document and was very honest and transparent when there were scope changes.

"We hired Altitude Builders to replace an existing deck that was old and rotting. After vetting out several contractors to decide between composite or pressure treated wood, we found Eli to be professional, straightforward and reasonable when it came to our ideas on what we wanted in a deck. His timeline and pricing was the best. He presented us with all requested documentation (contractor license, insurance, and contract) and started on the day he stated. Project went slightly longer because we needed additional footings and extension beyond the original scope of work. At the end of each day, the site was clean and nothing was left out of place. My deck is solid, sturdy and beautiful! His workmanship and professionalism were wonderful. We will be using Altitude builders again for additional work in the near future. Highly Recommended!"

Luxury renovations require anywhere from several months to over a year for completion, depending on project complexity and material availability. Comprehensive transformations involving structural changes, extensive system upgrades, or specialized finishes demand longer timelines due to the sequential nature of construction phases. Custom elements, such as handcrafted cabinetry, imported stone, or specialized architectural features, often have extended production and delivery schedules, sometimes adding months to the overall timeline compared to standard renovations.
Comprehensive home automation represents the cornerstone of contemporary luxury renovations, encompassing integrated systems for lighting, climate, security, and entertainment. Spacious, multifunctional layouts continue to dominate, with emphasis on creating seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor living spaces. Wellness-focused features, such as home spas, advanced air filtration, and specialized lighting systems, are gaining prominence. Universal design elements that accommodate aging in place without sacrificing aesthetics have become increasingly important, incorporating features like zero-threshold showers and elegant grab bars that blend seamlessly with luxury design schemes.
Consider temporary relocation when your renovation involves multiple rooms or impacts essential systems, such as water or heating. Living through major construction creates significant challenges, including dust contamination, noise disruption, privacy concerns, and limited access to basic facilities. If staying during the renovation, plan to establish functional living zones isolated from the construction areas, potentially including temporary kitchen arrangements or alternative bathroom facilities. For targeted renovations affecting limited areas, remaining in your home may be feasible with proper containment measures and clear communication with your construction team regarding your living requirements.
Begin your search by consulting friends and colleagues who have completed similar high-end projects in your area. Examine potential contractors specifically for luxury work similar to your vision, noting the quality of finishes and attention to detail. Request comprehensive proposals that delineate materials, labor, timelines, and payment schedules. Verify credentials, including licensing, insurance coverage, and specialized certifications relevant to luxury construction. Schedule in-depth consultations to assess communication styles and design sensibilities, ensuring the contractor fully appreciates your aesthetic goals and quality expectations.
Anticipate potential expenses for addressing concealed structural issues that only become apparent during demolition, such as inadequate support systems or outdated wiring requiring comprehensive updates. Budget for possible permit complications, including special reviews for historical properties or engineering assessments for complex structural modifications. Infrastructure upgrades often become necessary when adding luxury features, including electrical capacity enhancements for new systems or plumbing modifications for specialty fixtures. Environmental remediation for discovered hazards, such as lead paint or asbestos, can incur significant unplanned costs. Establishing a contingency fund of 15 to 20% helps manage these unexpected developments without compromising your renovation vision.
