Additions & Popups

Some issues with our homes make us think that the only solution is to sell and move on. But you’d love to stay in your home, perhaps because:

  • It’s in a great neighborhood.
  • You’re so comfortable in it (…if only there were more space!).
  • It’s close to family / your favorite outdoor spots / work.
 

If you’ve outgrown the available space in your home, you don’t have to move. With an addition or popup (adding a second or third story) from H & H Builders, you can stay right where you are!

H & H Builders can meet the structural challenges of additions and popups.
Additions and popups remodeling almost always presents challenges in terms of maintaining the structural integrity of a home. For example:

  • A new second story or a large home addition requires walls and foundations to be shored up to accommodate new loads.
  • Adding a room to the back of a house requires an exterior wall to be breached and a new wall or doorway installed.
 

Fortunately, H & H Builders happens to be the only Denver-area residential remodeling company owned by a structural engineer. Owner John Happel relishes these kinds of challenges! “I’ve never met a structural problem I couldn’t solve,” he says.

Our Design–Build process ensures the best use of your budget.
Adding a room or a popup to your home is a major investment. You don’t want to spend money on plans that you can’t afford to build or have costs balloon after construction has begun.

In our Design-Build process, we first discuss what you’d like to do to your home, then set a budget range with you and design your remodel with that budget in view. Time after time, our process produces additions and popups that come in on time, on budget, and exceed expectations!

H & H Builders has designed and constructed nearly any kind of room additions you can imagine, including family rooms, kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms, decks, and garages.

Check out the award-winning three-story deck addition we built for a client near Boulder. The home was in a magnificent setting, but the original deck was dark and cramped. Now their deck is their favorite entertaining space!

Design/Build: A Better Way to Remodel Your Home

The Traditional Way

  • Choose an architect.
  • Get bids on the design.
  • Hire a structural engineer.
  • Find an interior designer.
  • Coordinate competing interests.

You want a whole-house makeover—not an extra job as a project manager.

Yet many homeowners end up serving as go-between for design, engineering, and building firms. Why not have everyone working together on the same team?

But the biggest problem is that more than 50% of the time, people can’t afford to build what the architect drafted!

The Design/Build Way

H & H Builders handles architectural and interior design, engineering, and building with a unified, in-house team.

Everyone works together to find creative, cost-effective solutions.

The result? You can relax—you’re always in the loop, and your project gets finished on time and on budget.

What to Expect in a Design/Build Remodel

Our Design/Build process integrates the planning, budgeting, design, and construction of your whole-house remodel under one in-house team:

  1. Plan: What difficulties do you have with your home? What dreams do you have for it? Together, we’ll reimagine your space.
  2. Budget: By setting a budget early in the process, we ensure that you can build what we envision together in the design phase.
  3. Design: Because of our design and construction experience, we often have creative solutions you wouldn’t think of on your own.
  4. Build: We make your ideas a reality—transforming your home and improving your life!

Our goal is to make the whole-house remodeling process as quick and painless as possible. We’ll stage your project to minimize disruptions to your daily life. Contact us today to get started!
