Design Exteriors specializes in large-scale Design and Build projects. Want your backyard to be the envy of the cul-de-sac when you host that Broncos party? Let us "trick" it out with a completely customized pergola, fire pit, water feature, privacy screening & specialty patios to set it all on. Want your home to be the loveliest on the lane? Let us design and install a gorgeous curb appeal revision for you. When you're ready to totally revamp your outdoor space and bring in the experts, we're the ones that you will love working with! We partner with homeowners to help them conceptualize what they want and/or need from their exterior home spaces and then we bring in our expert artisan crews to make that vision a reality. Our designs are characterized by elegant curves and sophisticated arcs we affectionately refer to as "Shoebridge Circles" after the lead designer (and owner of our firm) Cedric Shoebridge. Bricks, stone, and pavers have to be custom-cut to fit into these curves, but we know they're worth it because as we like to joke around the office, you never hear a grandma yell to the grandkids to "Gather Square!" We say, "Gather around," because it's circles that bring families together. We are proud to have an A+ rating with the BBB and have been a multiple Award Winner with Angie's List and Home Advisor. #GoBroncos

"I needed to replace a border to my vegetable garden that had probably been in place for 20 years. The border was made of redwood planks and hollow in the inside. The in-ground portion was rotting and, on occasion, provided a home for rodents. After searching for contractors on the web and getting a couple of estimates, I settled on Design Exteriors of Denver, which had consistently excellent reviews. Cedric (Sonny) Shoebridge, owner and lead designer of the firm, visited, made careful measurements, and provided a detailed proposal for a new border consisting of 4”x6”x8’ rough cedar planks, capped by wider 2”x8”x8’ redwood boards for seating. The proposal was clear about possible variations in cost. The wood was to be coated with a top-of-the-line oil-based stain. Cedric suggested that I buy a plank and partially stain it with the color of my choice, just to make sure I liked it. Later, when he and his foreman were purchasing the rest of the planks, he asked for photos of my plank so that he could match the wood color as closely as possible. Enrique, the foreman, and his brother Jose did most of the work. They removed the old redwood border, including several concrete footings, laser-levelled the trench, then poured 3” of gravel footing into the trench, installed four courses of cedar planks in an overlapping pattern, locking them together with rebar and capping them with the redwood boards. The result is a very sturdy and handsome border with an amber stain that will probably outlast me. Enrique and Jose did a final pass through the garden, and removed wood and concrete debris. Construction had occurred in soil wet from melting snow, and our sidewalks and driveway were covered with muddy footprints. Enrique power-washed the concrete before departing. Kristi Tyler, Client Services Manager, was very pleasant and helpful from start to finish. The final bill was less than the original estimate, and I received a generous credit for the plank I had bought. I was extremely pleased with all my interactions with Design Exterior employees and more than satisfied with the result. It was money very well spent. I highly recommend Design Exteriors for outdoor landscaping and architectural renovations."

We are a family and veteran owned and operated business located in Littleton CO. We are your true one-stop concrete, retaining wall, fencing, deck/pergola company. We offer many other services as well. Call Gabriel today for your free consultation at 303.994.2944.

"The work was completed in a timely manor and overall looks good, during the project Gabe tried to change the scope many times, but ultimately did stick to our quote. Once work was completed he requested an additional $600 “because we did such a good job” finally within 90 days of having our fence and gate installed the gate began to sag. I contacted Gabe to give him an opportunity to make it right but he did not respond in any capacity. Moral of the story: make sure the work is 1000% because once peppers leaves they won’t return to fix any errors."

We work hard to earn your business and want to be your next reference. We offer a progressive billing system. This helps you avoid large deposit and allows you pay as worked is completed. Our attention to detail and can-do attitude allows us to make your vision a reality. We are licensed and insured for over 35 years. Call now for your free consultation and estimate.

"I hired Paramount back in 2020 for work on the first floor and appreciated their work so much that I brought them back for the basement (fix/ update after mold repair) and second floor (bathroom and stairs update, new carpet). Like the first time, I really appreciated Ryan's suggestions on style and options, and the various contractors were professional and very kind about working around me and the cats. Ryan was ultimately more critical than me about details and appreciate that desire to do things right and as clean as possible. Would use again!... although that would require a new house at this point. 😁"

We are a full service home remodel company with Handyman services offered. We specialize in kitchens, bathrooms, & basement remodeling. We also offer new builds (and consultations) for ADU's, garages, & decks. Lastly, we have a trustworthy subcontractor group that is licensed & recommended, to provide remodeling aspects such as cabinetry, doors, windows, granite/countertops. Inquire about our concrete services & patios!

"This is a honest review that has good and bad points. Out of 5 contractors interviewed, Nick was the only one willing to listen to our vision which was not the typical current remodel. We needed to take out a wall to open our kitchen and rearrange the layout and add gas lines. We needed to take one giant out of date bathroom and make it into two. Nick had a reasonable quote for all the work and his time frame set perfectly with our needs. Unfortunately we did not do our research to confirm the city rules for remodels nor did Nick include permits in his bid. Our horrible neighbor called the city to report us and the city shut our work down for 3 weeks. We had to cut items out of the scope of work and budget to now cover the permits. Understandably this delay would cause further issues in the time frame and Nick's team would need to begin working on other projects. Many times Nick would say or text that he would be at our site to do certain work at particular times and he would not show up at those times or complete the work as discussed. We did some of the work ourselves such as paint. Grout for the tile and baseboards was not cleaned up properly off the painted walls which meant we had to repaint much of the walls again. We asked for this grout to be addressed during final walk through but were told that painting was on us to do again. We felt that if the grout had been cleaned when it was wet and paint had been on their scope of work that perhaps it would have been dealt with properly from the start. When it came to installing the new appliances, our brand new front door was damaged as they brought in the fridge. Nick accepted responsibility and fixed it as best as he could. He also lost our garage door opener which he paid us for. Now for the good points, tile work looks great. The shower is impressive and we appreciate the time and details spent on creating it. His cabinet supplier is good and well priced. The plumbing and electrical sub contractors were excellent and we have recommended them to neighbors for smaller issues. Nick and Russell work **** ** the job at hand. Our situation just didn't go as planned and caused frustration on both sides which was amplified when there was poor communication. Perhaps if our situation didn't have so many bumps or was on a smaller scale then I would be able to give A rating. But we want to be honest and say that we failed on our research and understanding but Nick as the professional should have been ahead of possible situation to help us prevent the big delay and costs."

FAQs for second story addition building service projects in Boulder, CO

For many homeowners, building up is worth the expense because it provides the extra bedrooms or living areas that can’t be accommodated within the existing footprint. A larger, updated home often commands a higher resale price, recouping a sizable share of the project cost while allowing you to stay in the neighborhood you love. Run the numbers with a real estate agent and contractor to ensure the expected return and day-to-day benefits align with your goals.

Whether it makes more sense to build up or out depends on your lot, budget, and local code. Building up preserves yard space and involves less foundation work, but you may need to vacate the home during construction. Building out avoids staircases and can proceed while you stay put; however, it encroaches on the yard and may face setback limits. Compare both options with your contractor before making a decision.

A structural engineer will first inspect the existing foundation for cracks, footings, and load capacity. Depending on the findings, the crew may pour new concrete footings, install steel or concrete piers, add reinforced beams, or tie additional rebar into the slab. These upgrades redistribute the weight of the new floor and bring the structure up to code. Your contractor will outline the specific reinforcement plan and timeline once the engineering report is complete.
