Questions Denver Area Homeowners Ask Before Reaching Out

Curious about what to expect? Here are answers to some of the most common questions homeowners ask us.

What types of projects are the best fit for Cillessen Construction?expand_more

We specialize in larger residential projects, including whole-home renovations, additions and pop-tops, custom homes, and high-end exterior renovations. If you're considering a substantial change to your home and value quality craftsmanship, careful planning, and clear communication, we'd be happy to learn more about what you have in mind.

How much should I budget for a major renovation in Denver?expand_more

Every home and scope is different, but the large-scale whole-home renovations and additions we take on often fall within the $300,000 to $3 million range. Custom homes typically begin around $2 million. Existing conditions, structural changes, design complexity, materials, finishes, and the overall scope of work can all affect the final investment.

The best way to understand what may be realistic for your home is to start with a conversation about your goals and priorities.

Do you help with design and planning?expand_more

Yes. We guide clients through planning, scope development, and selections so the project is well thought out before construction begins. Our team will guide you through the selections process throughout your project. 

How will I know what's happening during construction?expand_more
