A home remodel is an exciting opportunity to refresh your space — but without the right plan, it can quickly feel overwhelming. At Grimes Home Concepts, we believe that remodeling should be as enjoyable as the finished result. With the right guidance, clear communication, and expert craftsmanship, your project can be a smooth and rewarding experience.
Here are our top tips for navigating the remodeling journey with confidence.
Before picking paint colors or fixtures, take time to identify what you truly want from your remodel. Is it more storage? A larger gathering space? A better layout? Clear goals will help you stay focused and make design decisions that add lasting value.
Every home and project is unique, so costs can vary widely. Work with a trusted professional to understand price ranges and create a budget that reflects your priorities. Be sure to include a contingency fund (10–20%) for unexpected items that may arise once construction begins.
Even the most exciting projects can disrupt your routine. Talk with your contractor about timelines and set up temporary solutions, like a makeshift kitchen or alternate bathroom, so your household runs as smoothly as possible while work is underway.
Investing in durable finishes and expert installation ensures your remodel will stand the test of time. From custom cabinetry to specialty carpentry, choosing quality pays off in beauty, function, and long-term value.
Changes and surprises can happen, but keeping an open line of communication with your team helps resolve challenges quickly. Trust the process and lean on your contractor’s expertise — collaboration is the key to a successful outcome.
When the dust settles, you’ll have more than an updated space — you’ll have a home tailored to your needs and lifestyle. Whether it’s a reimagined kitchen, a cozy basement retreat, or a spa-inspired bathroom, the journey is worth it.
At Grimes Home Concepts, we guide homeowners in Littleton and the southwest Denver suburbs through every stage of remodeling. From concept to completion, we’re here to make sure your experience is as rewarding as your new space.
The timeline depends on the size and complexity of the project. Smaller updates can take a few weeks, while full kitchen, basement, or bathroom remodels often range from 8–14 weeks once construction begins. The design and planning phase usually adds a few more weeks.
Start by outlining your goals and must-haves, then work with a design-build team to understand costs for materials, labor, and permits. We recommend setting aside 10–20% of your budget for unexpected expenses.
Not always! For many projects, you can remain in your home with minimal disruption. However, large remodels that affect kitchens or bathrooms may require temporary arrangements for cooking or bathing.
We’re a design-build firm, which means we manage both the design and construction under one roof. This integrated approach simplifies communication, keeps projects on schedule, and ensures quality craftsmanship from start to finish.
We focus on kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and custom carpentry projects throughout Littleton and the southwest Denver suburbs. Whether you want a modern kitchen, a spa-like bathroom, or a basement retreat, we bring creativity and precision to every job.
