General Contractor & Home Renovation in Cherry Hills Village, CO

Remodeling & general contracting in Cherry Hills Village

Cherry Hills Village is defined by low-density residential land, mature trees, open views and a semi-rural character that the city’s adopted master plan explicitly works to preserve. Remodeling here is rarely just an interior finish exercise. A kitchen, primary suite or whole-home renovation may connect to estate-scale mechanical systems, long utility runs, drainage, fire-flow requirements, mature landscaping and an exterior composition viewed from every side. BH Builders plans the visible rooms and the site around them as one project.

As a licensed, insured general contractor based in nearby Greenwood Village, BH Builders manages every trade in-house or under one roof, so Cherry Hills Village homeowners get a single point of contact, a fixed written scope, and one crew accountable from demolition to the final walkthrough. No juggling subcontractors, no finger-pointing.

Cherry Hills Village homes we work on

Homes in Cherry Hills Village range from established ranch and traditional residences to large custom estates and newer architect-led construction. The opportunity is often selective: reorganize a kitchen without sacrificing gracious circulation, update aging systems while walls are open, create a primary suite that feels proportional to the house, or add space without overpowering the lot. Exterior work deserves equal discipline because bulk plane, floor-area ratio, setbacks, impervious surface and fire-flow review can shape an addition before the finish palette is discussed. When the lot is worth more than the house on it, the same discipline applies to a scrape-and-rebuild: as a custom home builder licensed Class C, we build new estate homes in Cherry Hills Village from the footing up, to three stories plus basement.

What deserves priority in a Cherry Hills Village remodel

A successful Village project begins by deciding what should remain. Many properties already have strong structure, generous room sizes and thoughtful relationships to gardens, terraces or views. We document those assets first, then direct the budget toward the parts that limit daily life, building performance or long-term flexibility.

• Coordinate the kitchen with the whole entertaining plan. The island, pantry, service path, dining room, outdoor terrace and everyday family entry should work together. We test circulation and appliance landing zones before enlarging an opening or adding cabinetry simply because space is available.
• Treat mechanical capacity as design infrastructure. Large homes can have multiple HVAC zones, substantial electrical loads, long plumbing runs and specialized equipment. We verify capacity and access early so a beautiful new suite is comfortable, serviceable and supported by the systems behind it.
• Make additions belong to both house and site. Rooflines, floor elevations, foundation strategy, drainage, tree protection and exterior materials need one coordinated answer. An addition should look intentional from the arrival court, neighboring properties and the rear landscape, not only from the new room.
• Use restraint in primary suites. Better storage, natural light, shower access, ventilation and quiet circulation often improve the room more than square footage alone. We plan tile modules, glass, plumbing and cabinetry together so the finish remains calm at a large scale.
• Protect the envelope during every opening. Window walls, doors, decks and roof changes must carry water outward through flashing, drainage planes and durable transitions. Colorado sun, hail and freeze-thaw make the concealed layer as important as the visible material.
• Preserve landscape value during construction. Access routes, excavation, material staging, tree-root zones and temporary drainage are construction decisions. Planning them before mobilization protects the property and prevents a convenient shortcut from becoming permanent damage.

The city’s 2022 Master Plan describes Cherry Hills Village as a safe, serene, low-density residential community with a semi-rural and open character. We use that principle as a practical design test: the completed work should improve the home while allowing the property to remain spacious, planted and visually composed.

A seven-step Cherry Hills Village planning sequence

Cherry Hills Village now handles applications, revisions, payments, review comments and inspection scheduling through its online building-permit portal. The city adopted the 2024 I-Codes at the beginning of 2026. Our sequence is built to give the portal a coordinated project instead of a collection of unresolved ideas:

1. Walk the house and the property. We document rooms, structure, visible systems, exterior elevations, drainage patterns, access, trees and the relationship between proposed work and the rest of the lot.
2. Verify zoning and development limits. The address determines setbacks, bulk plane, floor-area ratio, lot coverage and other requirements. For exterior work, those limits are checked before the design is allowed to grow.
3. Confirm utility, fire-flow and site-review needs. Additions can trigger South Metro Fire Rescue review, fire-flow analysis, right-of-way access questions or drainage documentation. We identify the applicable path and required consultants early.
4. Build one written scope. Structural work, systems, finish selections, protection and allowances are separated clearly. Options remain visible instead of being blended into a number that cannot be compared.
5. Complete design and long-lead selections together. Drawings, engineering, windows, cabinetry, plumbing fixtures and exterior materials develop on coordinated tracks so permit review and procurement support the same construction date.
6. Build through documented inspections. Footings, framing, rough trades, insulation and other required work stay visible until approved. The field team keeps the current plans and inspection record available on site.
7. Test, close and hand off. We complete final approvals, test systems, resolve the punch list, clean the work areas and review maintenance and operation before the project is considered finished.

The city notes that most additions and some remodels may also require a right-of-way construction access permit. It also identifies special review when added impervious surface reaches the city’s drainage threshold. Those details belong in early feasibility, not in a surprise conversation after drawings are complete.

Cherry Hills Village conditions and the right planning response

For current address-specific information, use the city’s building-permit portal instructions, adopted-code list, zoning and district maps and 2022 Master Plan. We confirm the live rules for the parcel rather than relying on an old project across town.

The Cherry Hills Village rules that shape an estate remodel

Cherry Hills Village regulates house size by floor-area ratio rather than by a simple footprint limit, and the number depends on the zone district your lot sits in. The city's permit handout for new homes and major additions lists 23 percent for R-1 and R-2, 25 percent for R-3 and 30 percent for R-4 and R-5, with the R-3A district using lot coverage instead, and a 35 foot height limit. The municipal code adds that the floor-area standard does not apply to legal lots of record with a net area of 10,000 square feet or less. Those figures come from the city's own documents and they change; I confirm the current table with the building department before any drawing is finalized (New Construction and Major Addition Requirements, Ordinance 7, Series 2019).

Two definitions matter before you sketch anything. The city treats an addition that expands a structure by 50 percent or more of its square footage as a major addition, which follows the new-home review path rather than the minor-addition path. And the floor-area worksheet counts more than the rooms you live in, so a garage or a tall attic space can use up ratio you were counting on for the addition.

The city documents to read first

The building department publishes the checklist and fee schedule it reviews against, and we mirror the current copies so you can read them before the first meeting:

• Applicant submittal checklist: what a complete application contains.
• Minor addition requirements and exterior remodel requirements.
• Interior remodel requirements.
• Building permit fees, and how they compare with neighboring offices on our fees-by-city table.

Our permit guide entry for Cherry Hills Village keeps the office contact and the review sequence in one place. If you want a starting range before that conversation, the Quick Estimate takes a few minutes.
