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

Building a custom home can be a stressful experience, but it doesn't need to be. Sopris made it fun…read moreand easy. We had always planned to move back to my home state of Colorado from Ohio. 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.

The actual construction took only 3 months which was way faster than I was expecting and everything was done with a very high attention to detail and integrity. We had an unrelated fire happen during the job (a dryer fire unrelated to the work) but luckily the team was there and was able to put it out and save the house from a lot of fire damage. They really went above and beyond. Would highly recommend working with westec. The process was easeful and I'm so happy with the results!

The project would have been done early but the vanity I picked out had a manufacturing issue and had to be replaced after installation, no extra charge for the paint and plumbing being redone to accommodate the change out.

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.
