Project Overview

This gorgeous Denver pop-top renovation transformed a 1940s brick home through a comprehensive second-story addition, whole-home remodel, and ground-up construction. While working closely with our clients design team, Prenvalley Builders expanded the home by adding over 800 square feet to the upper level, creating a new primary suite and additional bedrooms, while also remodeling the entire first floor to improve functionality and livability. The existing attached garage was converted into a fully independent mother-in-law suite, and the project was further expanded with the construction of a new detached two-car garage featuring an art studio and outdoor living space. By managing construction alongside structural, soils, and engineering coordination, Prenvalley delivered a cohesive, well-integrated renovation built for long-term performance and everyday living.

Our Approach

This project required careful coordination between new construction and the existing structure. Prenvalley Builders oversaw structural planning and engineering collaboration to ensure the second-story addition integrated seamlessly with the original home. Thoughtful construction sequencing allowed the team to manage demolition, framing, and exterior enclosure efficiently while minimizing disruption to the overall build timeline.

By managing both construction and critical technical coordination, Prenvalley was able to deliver a cohesive expansion that feels intentional, balanced, and well-integrated throughout.
