Midtown · Fort Collins, Colorado · Home remodeling
Home remodeling in Midtown Fort Collins. Established homes, new layouts.
Midtown is the middle of the city, along College Avenue between the CSU area and Harmony Road. The neighborhoods on either side are established, with mature trees and houses that have been lived in for decades.
Many of these homes were built when kitchens were closed off and bathrooms were small. Midtown homeowners call us most often to open up the main floor, redo a bathroom or two, and finish the basement.

What remodeling looks like in Midtown
Ranch and split-level homes are common in the neighborhoods off College. Ranches lend themselves to open floor plans, since many interior walls can be opened with the right beam. Split-levels have stairs in every route, so the plan focuses on making each level work better.
Original windows, single-pane sliding doors and thin attic insulation are typical in older Midtown homes. Window replacement and insulation fit naturally into a bigger remodel.
Basements here range from crawlspaces to full basements. Where there is a full basement, finishing it is one of the most cost-effective ways to add space.
Permits in Midtown
Inside Fort Collins city limits, permits come from City of Fort Collins Building Services at 281 N. College Ave. Layout changes, basement finishes, new window or door openings, and new or moved outlets need one. Paint, flooring, tile, cabinets and counters on their own do not, and the contractor pulls the permit and books inspections.

FAQ
Remodeling in Midtown: your questions
Can the wall between my kitchen and living room come out?
Most can, but some carry roof or floor loads. We check during the walkthrough and size a beam if one is needed.
Is a split-level worth remodeling?
Yes. Opening the main level, updating the stairs and finishing the lower level can make a split-level feel much bigger.
