Is Your Home Still Designed for the Way You Live Today?
Most homes were built for the way families lived 20 or 30 years ago — not how we live today. If your layout, flow, or finishes no longer fit your lifestyle, maybe it’s time to reimagine what “home” could look like.
Whole-Home Where Function Meets Style
Transforming a Family Home into a Custom Mountain-Modern Retreat
When the Young family reached out to AAA Home Improvements, they envisioned more than a remodel—they wanted to transform their home into a space that blended mountain warmth with refined modern design.
Our team delivered a two-phase design-build project: a complete interior renovation followed by a 1,400-square-foot custom addition, creating a seamless, timeless extension of their lifestyle.
Every beam, tile, and alder door was planned to capture that perfect balance between comfort, craftsmanship, and long-term value.

Kitchen & LIVING ROOM Reimagined from the ground up.
The kitchen is the heart of the home, and this Lakewood remodel was designed to bring both functionality and elegance into one space.
We started with a full demolition, carefully protecting floors and containing dust to keep the rest of the house livable during construction. The old cabinets, countertops, appliances, and backsplash were removed to make way for a brighter, more open design.
Infrastructure upgrades were a big part of this transformation. We extended the gas line to relocate the range, giving the homeowners more flexibility for cooking. A pot filler faucet was installed above the new range for convenience, while a dedicated duct and make-up air system ensured the new hood could handle smoke and odors with ease.
The electrical system was completely modernized, with new outlets, arc-fault GFI protection, switches, and recessed lighting.
These upgrades not only brought the home up to code but also made everyday use safer and more enjoyable.
For the finishes, our carpentry team installed a combination of base cabinets, wall cabinets, and full-height pantry cabinets, all topped with elegant crown molding. The cabinetry was designed to maximize storage while creating a clean, modern look. We patched and refinished sections of the existing hardwood floors so the new kitchen blended seamlessly with the rest of the home.
Finally, a custom tile backsplash tied the whole space together, adding texture and color that balanced the countertops and cabinetry. Every detail — from the cabinet trim to the outlet placement — was executed with precision.
The result is a kitchen that feels brand new yet timeless: functional for daily living, beautiful for entertaining, and built to last.

Patio Cover Outdoor Living, Colorado Style
Colorado homeowners love to make the most of their outdoor space, and this Lakewood remodel included a 20’ x 20’ patio cover addition designed for both relaxation and entertainment.
The structure was engineered for strength and durability, starting with cored slab foundations and four helical piers to support the weight of the cover. From there, our carpentry team installed 6×6 posts and heavy LVL beams around the perimeter, framing out a solid structure that ties seamlessly into the home.
The roof was built with hip trusses and full sheathing, then finished with asphalt shingles to match the existing roofline. New soffit and fascia gave the patio a polished look, while seamless gutters ensured proper drainage.
Comfort was a top priority. The space was outfitted with recessed can lights, GFI outlets, and a ceiling fan for year-round usability. To make it even more enjoyable, we trenched a new dedicated electrical line and installed a custom kegerator under the existing stone countertop, turning the patio into the perfect spot for entertaining.
Finally, the patio ceiling, soffit, and fascia were painted to blend beautifully with the home, creating an extension of the living space that feels natural and inviting.
This new covered patio provides shade in the summer, warmth in the winter, and a gathering place that brings the indoors outside.

Interior TRIM The Details That Make a Home
While the kitchen and patio provided big, visible upgrades, the interior trim package brought elegance and cohesion to the entire home.
The project began with the removal of old trim, railing, and doors — a total of 17 interior doors, one double door, and two sliding doors. We carefully saved the existing hardware so it could be reused on the new doors, giving a subtle nod to the home’s original character.
Next, we installed 17 new four-panel prehung doors, along with a new 5’ four-panel double door and two sliding doors with complete hardware kits. Around them, crisp 4 ¼” baseboards, sills, and aprons were added, framing each opening with clean lines and modern proportions.
In the family room, we straightened the arched opening above the fireplace to create a more contemporary aesthetic. We then crafted a custom mantel and surround, making the fireplace a true centerpiece of the living space.
The staircase received a full update with a new railing, which was stained to complement the refinished hardwood floors. Those floors were carefully sanded and sealed, tying together old and new surfaces seamlessly.
Finally, our paint crew gave the interior a fresh start with new finishes on doors, trim, ceilings, and walls. The result is a bright, cohesive home interior where every detail works together.

Why This Project Matters
This 2022 build is a showcase of AAA Home Improvements’ Whole Home Remodel expertise in Lakewood. We delivered a seamless client experience—from planning to permitting to the final walkthrough. Every step was managed with transparency, precision, and care.
In many Lakewood remodels, homeowners choose to remain in their homes during construction.
Our crews use floor protection, dust containment systems, and daily cleanup protocols to keep your living spaces as comfortable as possible.
For large-scale projects affecting kitchens, bathrooms, or stairs, some clients choose short-term housing — and we’ll help plan that around your timeline.
Yes. The City of Lakewood requires permits for most remodeling projects, especially those involving electrical, plumbing, or structural work.
As part of our design-build process, AAA Home Improvements handles all permitting and engineering directly with the city — saving you time and ensuring the project meets every local building code.
It starts with a simple conversation.
Schedule a free design consultation with our team — we’ll walk through your home, discuss your goals, and outline your best options.
From there, our design team creates a concept plan and estimate so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.
Our design-build approach means you’ll work with one dedicated team from start to finish.
We handle design, engineering, permitting, construction, and finishing all in-house.
This ensures your project stays aligned with your budget, vision, and timeline — without the confusion of managing multiple contractors.
Every home and scope is different, but most Lakewood whole home remodels take between 4 and 8 months to complete.
Because AAA manages design, permitting, and construction under one roof, we’re able to streamline the process and reduce delays — even when working with Lakewood’s permitting timelines and inspection requirements.
depending on the home’s size, the scope of work, and finish level.
AAA Home Improvements provides transparent estimates during your free design consultation — breaking down all major components so you can make confident, informed decisions before construction begins.
A whole home remodel typically involves updating multiple rooms or the entire home at once — including the kitchen, living spaces, bathrooms, trim, flooring, lighting, and even outdoor areas.
For our Lakewood clients, AAA Home Improvements focuses on creating a cohesive design that blends new upgrades with existing architecture, resulting in a home that feels brand new without losing its Colorado charm.
In Lakewood, many homeowners are updating mid-century ranches, two-story family homes, and older properties near Green Mountain and Belmar.
Popular styles include:
-
Modern farmhouse interiors
-
Transitional kitchens with quartz countertops
-
Open-concept floor plans
-
Outdoor living spaces with covered patios and lighting
AAA customizes every remodel to reflect your lifestyle and neighborhood aesthetic.
Lakewood’s building department has specific permitting and inspection standards, especially for electrical, mechanical, and exterior changes.
Because AAA Home Improvements regularly works with the City of Lakewood, we understand the process, required documentation, and local construction practices — which means fewer headaches and faster project turnaround for you.
Doing a whole home remodel allows us to design everything together, creating a consistent look and feel across every room.
It’s also typically more cost-effective than remodeling one area at a time because we can coordinate trades, materials, and inspections efficiently.
The end result: a home that looks, feels, and functions like new — not a mix of old and updated spaces.
