Deck builder in Westminster, CO

Westminster's 1960s and 1970s ranch homes near Standley Lake typically have original kitchens with closed-off galley layouts, small bathrooms with dated fixtures, and single-pane windows that lose heat in winter. Kitchen remodeling that opens the kitchen to the adjacent living or dining area is the most common structural change. Bath remodeling and window replacement are natural follow-on projects in homes of this age.

Yes — Westminster's ranch-style homes on larger lots are well-suited for rear or side additions that expand the footprint without going up. A well-designed addition can add a bedroom, bathroom, or family room that connects naturally to the existing floor plan. We design additions to match the existing structure's roofline and exterior materials so the new space integrates with the original home.

Westminster's established neighborhoods have homes with original roofing systems that are 40 to 50 years old, which is significantly older than the housing stock in newer suburbs. These roofs have absorbed decades of Front Range hail, UV, and freeze-thaw cycling on materials that were not rated for high-hail zones. Replacement with impact-resistant shingles is the most effective upgrade for homes in this age range.

Westminster's 1960s and 1970s ranch homes often have original aluminum-frame single-pane windows that are a significant source of heat loss in winter and UV gain in summer. Replacement windows in vinyl or fiberglass frames with double-pane or triple-pane glass improve comfort and reduce energy loss without altering the home's exterior profile. Proper sizing to match the original rough opening is important in homes of this era to avoid structural modifications.
