From the very beginning Travis made it clear that his wish wasn't necessarily to be the lowest-cost bidder but to be the highest quality with the best possible service and he delivered perfectly on-time and at a very competitive total cost. Nate (the project manager) did a fantastic job with the day-to-day coordination always making sure who was coming next and when to expect them. He came by several times himself to inspect the work and made himself fully available at any time for questions or advice I might have, chief among which was selecting the right mini-split to meet the HVAC needs of the office. In summary the project couldn't have gone better and I now consider both Travis and Nate good friends and would be extremely proud to recommend them to anyone looking for any type of remodeling/ construction project on their home! Berthoud is their home as well, they are members of our community and I'd just encourage anyone with a remodeling/ construction project to support local and give them the highest possible consideration!

Terrible experience with Melton Design and Build. This company is completely disrespectful and…read moreirresponsible. They show zero consideration for their customers or the neighbors. Instead of parking responsibly near their job site, they repeatedly block neighbors' driveways--sometimes up to five trucks at once. They leave junk scattered all over the neighborhood and have blocked elderly and disabled neighbors from reasonable access to their homes. When asked politely to move their vehicles, they respond with mockery rather than respect. I would strongly advise anyone to think twice before hiring this company.

The most extensive was a bathroom renovation. BRB was so easy to communicate with either by text, phone or email. They have shown their ability to meet critical timelines and follow budget forecasts accurately, whilst maintaining a very high standard of workmanship. Thanks to the dynamic and dedicated team from BRB we could not be more pleased with our bathroom renovation. Regardless of how complicated the ask, Kris and the team at BRB worked with us to solve problems and meet our needs. The entire experience could not have been better. This was not the first construction company I have worked with in Boulder but it will definitely be the last. I look forward to working with this team again.

RECOMMENDATION FOR SOPRIS DEVELOPMENT…read more In December 2021, we lost our home and all its contents to the Marshall Fire in Boulder, Colorado. At age 77, facing this emotional event, insurance uncertainty, and the daunting prospect of rebuilding was overwhelming -- especially since we'd never planned to build a home. After exploring options, we chose to rebuild and were fortunate to work with John Stevens and Sopris Development. Sopris provided truly full-service support: lot remediation, design, permitting, vendor introductions, and construction. It is hard to imagine receiving better service from any other company! Concept and Design: We worked closely with John and his architect, describing what we liked about our former home and our future needs. Our goals included: - A home designed for "aging in place" -- one-level living with wider doors, halls, and shower entrances. - A modern design that still blends with the environment and preserves mountain views. - Features that balanced personal needs with future marketability. - Staying within our financial and insurance limits. Sopris delivered a design that met all these priorities, adding thoughtful features we hadn't considered. Preconstruction: Before building started, we selected everything -- appliances, flooring, fixtures, paint, etc. -- through Sopris's recommended vendors. This process ensured an accurate cost estimate, addressed supply chain concerns, and kept the project on schedule. The vendors were professional, offered great selections, and coordinated seamlessly (e.g., cabinet makers accounted for appliance sizes). Construction: Sopris's subcontractors and craftsmen were top-notch -- professional, skilled, and focused on quality. We especially appreciated having a dedicated project manager. Weekly on-site meetings kept us informed and allowed thoughtful adjustments (e.g., adding stair lights, extra outlets, etc.). Timing and Costs: Unlike some builder horror stories, our experience with Sopris was remarkably smooth. Many of our neighbors were told 15-24 months to completion by other builders; Sopris estimated 12 months and completed our home in 13. This was thanks to their planning, vendor relationships, and scheduling. Final costs came in under the original estimate, with minimal changes needed thanks to thorough up-front work. Insurance Support: Sopris's professional record-keeping and understanding of codes were invaluable in insurance matters. For instance, they successfully advocated for coverage of solar panels under our Ordinance and Law provision when initially denied. Sopris was more than a builder -- they were our advocate. One Year Later: We love our home. Any minor issues were promptly resolved. Thanks to Sopris, we have a beautiful, functional home where we can age in place, enjoy family and friends, and take in the surrounding beauty. We highly recommend Sopris Development. They know what they're doing and made the process enjoyable. Roger and Laura Bohart

As that time approached we looked at pre-existing homes and new home builders. We found Sopris and met with owner John Stevens. It didn't take us long to decide on Sopris. We were a bit nervous about building from several states away. Those concerns were unfounded. We decided on one of Sopris' existing floor plans but modified it substantially with John's help to meet our needs. Our home was finished on budget and on schedule. Craig T and Kurt C, two of John's employees worked with us every step of the way. They kept us informed, and on those rare occasions where issues did arise, they were quick to address them, in many cases beyond our expectations. We highly recommend the entire Sopris team.

Very, very poor experience with this firm. I spent 30 minutes speaking with the owner and…read moredetailing some of the projects that I wanted to tackle with moving back into our primary residence which had been rented out. He seemed attentive and the next steps were to have him go to the house to measure and preview things. I never heard from him again. His office did call to let me know that they were going to go to the house and after they had been there to measure I never heard back from them in any shape or form. Totally ghosted me and I had several large projects on my list that I thought would be right up their alley. No worries. I found another company and things went smoothly and I have several projects scheduled and materials already secured and purchased. Silver lining that they never called back, but totally unprofessional. I found it really odd that the owner of the company would not email, or text me after a 30 minute project review but have the company rep communicate with me instead. That is a first for me and I have done dozens of jobs on multiple rentals and primary residences over the years.
