Remodeling & General Contracting in Lakewood, CO

Remodeling & general contracting in Lakewood

Lakewood stretches across the west metro — from the walkable Belmar district to established neighborhoods around Green Mountain, Glennon Heights and Eiber. Much of its housing is mid-century ranch and split-level, prime candidates for the open kitchens, updated baths and finished basements today’s buyers want. BH Builders helps Lakewood homeowners bring these solid, well-located homes up to date.

As a licensed, insured general contractor based in nearby Greenwood Village, BH Builders manages every trade in-house or under one roof — so Lakewood 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.

Lakewood homes we work on

Lakewood is rich in mid-century ranches and split-levels from the 1950s–70s, alongside newer construction toward Green Mountain and the foothills. These homes often have great bones and compartmentalized floor plans that open up beautifully — removing a wall between kitchen and living space is one of our most transformative Lakewood projects. Many predate 1978, so lead-safe practices apply.

Permits & building codes in Lakewood

Most remodeling work in Lakewood — anything touching structure, electrical, plumbing or mechanical systems — requires a permit and inspections. We handle the entire process so your project is code-compliant and on record, which protects both your safety and your home's resale value.

• Local permits. Lakewood permits and inspections run through the City of Lakewood — Building & Construction Permits (Public Works). We file with them directly and schedule every inspection for you.
• The full Lakewood permit picture. Fees, timelines, quirks and the documents you'll need are all covered in the Lakewood section of our Denver-metro permit guide — including a free permit & fee estimator.
• Licensed trades. Colorado electricians and plumbers are state-licensed — you can verify any contractor's license through the Colorado DORA license lookup.
• Lead-safe work. Lakewood’s many mid-century homes predate 1978, so federal lead-safe work practices apply to most renovations there. See the EPA Renovation, Repair and Painting program.
