Kitchen Remodels
Full kitchen remodels are one of the most complex home projects — involving demo, plumbing, electrical, framing, drywall, tile, cabinet installation, and finish work in a tight sequence managed by the GC.
Bathroom Renovations
Bathroom remodels require plumbing, tile, electrical, and finish work in a small space with no margin for sequencing errors. A general contractor manages the tradespeople and inspections.
Room Additions
Additions require foundation work, framing, roofing, exterior envelope, insulation, and interior finish — plus permits and multiple inspections. This scope demands general contractor oversight.
Whole-Home Renovations
Whole-home renovations may involve every trade simultaneously. GCs sequence work to keep the project moving — rough-in before drywall, drywall before finish, finish before painting.
Commercial Tenant Improvements
TI work in commercial spaces requires ADA compliance, commercial HVAC, fire suppression, and occupancy permits — all coordinated and managed by the GC.

How to hire a general contractor in Fort Collins
Verify license and check disciplinary history
Your state contractor licensing board maintains public records. Check for active license status, insurance on file, and any complaints or disciplinary actions.
Review the contract line by line
Construction contracts should detail every scope item, the allowance amounts for materials, the payment schedule, change order procedure, completion date, and warranty terms.
Understand the payment schedule
Never pay more than 10% as a deposit on residential work in most states. Payment milestones should be tied to project milestones — not calendar dates.
Establish communication norms
Agree upfront on how often you'll receive status updates, how decisions will be documented, and who the primary contact is for day-to-day questions.
Get lien waivers at every payment
Conditional lien waivers from the GC and subcontractors at each payment protect you from mechanics liens if your GC doesn't pay their subs. Don't skip this step.
Licensing & permits for general contractors in Fort Collins, CO
General Contractors operating in Fort Collins, CO must comply with local building codes enforced by the Fort Collins Building and Safety Department.
