We used CH&D to redo our master bathroom and expand our closet and we are absolutely in love with…read morethe final result. We live in a 1915 craftsman home in Denver and space and storage were our main challenges. Out of all of the design companies we consulted, they were the only ones who could develop a plan to increase storage without expanding the footprint of the house or substantially limiting the space from another room. They walked us through every step of their process so there would be no surprises and took time to do things right, even if it meant adding extra time to the schedule. You never know what you're going to encounter with an old home until you start demolition and their employees made sure to consult with us on any of their findings and suggestions to ensure the final outcome was the best possible. They were open to reusing as many original materials from the house as well, including converting the original bathroom door to a pocket door due to our tight layout, and salvaging the original hardwood under the bathroom tile to fill in the threshold and spots in our closet where the floor was torn up for other projects. We've done many renos ourselves and know just how messy construction can be. We were amazed at the level of care and preparation the team took to protect our space and contain the construction dust to the working area. All of the workers who came through were kind and understanding when we asked them to be mindful of our dog and fence gate as they came in and out. We would definitely recommend Colorado Homes and Design for any of your needs!

Kitchen Renovation - January-April 2023…read more Deciding to do a full kitchen renovation on our 1885 brick bungalow was an exciting decision for my wife and I to make after purchasing the home in the spring of 2022. With the current supply chain issues and labor shortages we knew that choosing the correct design/build firm was going to be the most important factor in this process for a successful outcome. During our initial meetings with Gina and Jamin (the Colorado Homes and Design/Earth Saving Solutions team) we quickly confirmed that we had chosen the right firm. As a retired executive chef, I had very specific requirements for our new kitchen. Gina took those ideas and presented us with a thoughtful design that incorporated an efficient layout with the premium materials we requested. As the project progressed we were very impressed with the emphasis on quality craftsmanship that Jose (project lead) and his team put into every aspect of our renovation, always making the extra effort to get it exactly right. When you are fully renovating a 135 year old space, you know that you are going to uncover some unexpected issues and we were certainly no exception. After some trail and error with our communication process, we dialed in our communication process between the whole team. We were able to navigate any and all issues quickly and move forward toward our project completion. From design to pre-con to final walk-through this team stepped up and made our dream kitchen a reality. For a renovation from simple to extensive, we would highly recommend Colorado Homes and Design/Earth Saving Solutions. Gina, Jamin and Jose exceeded all of our expectations. David and Deb

Sure, my fault, should have held payment until it was addressed. Life gets busy, so a few years later I called, more than once, to finally get it addressed. Left messages, then only could get responses by emailing the "info" email address and they quoted $300 to come to fix the seams. Sorry, not acceptable and we cancelled. We are going to have quartz installed in all four bathrooms, but we'll go elsewhere. Funny thing, the owner was all over us when we were buying, but have not heard from him AT ALL about this. The only other advice I would offer is to NOT get the touch faucet unless it is "hard wired", as the battery life isn't great.

Several years ago, I stopped by the store on a whim and was able to get a sample piece of granite…read morefor the top of my fireplace. I paid for it on the spot, and they were able to get the guys out to measure and install it within a week or two. If you get up close, you can see where they didn't caulk it perfectly, but it was a good enough job and I was happy with how it looked and how fast it occurred. Fast forward to recently, I contacted them again, explained I was a repeat customer, and then asked them to help me with a stone cutting/quartz job in my bathroom. It took over two months to get a tech out to the house. The excuse was, we are really busy and we have scheduled work. I pointed out, I am a paying customer as well, I too deserve to be scheduled, not just told you'll fit me in when you can fit me in. Even after the tech came to measure, nobody got back to me, and when I finally reached out several times, they still had many of the same questions before the tech came over. I've had to send two, three, four emails to follow up. They don't seem to initiate contact, and they don't follow through. I don't know what's going on with their office but they seem really disorganized and unfortunately, I just can't keep waiting for them to ask me the questions to get organized to let me know if they can even do the job. My interactions with them over the last three months have been really disappointing. I just finally stopped reaching out to them.

As far as the process, it didn't appear as if the front office connected correctly with the estimator who didn't connect correctly with the installers: 1. Measurements left a corner open which was fixed with another piece inserted. 2. One side of the granite had an overhang, the other side was flush. 3. The sink was a 60/40 sink, but my garbage disposal was on the 60 side. 4. The dishwasher wouldn't close properly and I had to call them back on three separate occasions to correct it. Although all was corrected, it cost us both time and money. J&M purchased an additional slab to recut and install, and I had additional plumber expenses. Over a period of a couple of weeks everything was corrected. I love the granite and although there were additional expenses, I think I received the service at a good price.

We had them over to look at a smaller kitchen project (not a full remodel but half a kitchen…read moreremodel) on January 22nd. 3 emails and 1 call later we still have not received anything from them however each time they did respond to us "someone was working on it". They wasted 3 weeks of our time as we waited patiently. They clearly kept stringing us along with "we would have it in a couple days".. So much for wanting to support our local companies. I would NOT recommend them as they just give a lot of lip service and we feel perhaps they were more interested in larger jobs, just wish they would have told us this 3 weeks ago.

I assumed these were custom cabinets and I assumed they could look up my last order to see what style cabinet I got before. In addition, never order cabinets by Mantra.

Mind you, when they come back it can break again and I would just have to keep paying them to return. Absurd. The person I spoke to told me most people don't fix their lights at all bc it's so expensive. What kind of absolute fuckery is this? Do not buy from them.
