Blue Springs Construction remodeled a home in Windsor, Colorado across the kitchen and the stair. The kitchen was rebuilt in knotty alder with a quartz worktop and a gas range, and the stair and landing were opened up and fitted with a custom horizontal steel rail made for the house.
The house worked, but it did not flow. The kitchen was dated and closed off from the way the family actually lived, and the stair was a missed opportunity: a dark, enclosed climb through the middle of an otherwise open home.
The plan treated both as one project. Open the stair and landing so light moves through the house, and rebuild the kitchen so the heart of the home matches the rest of it. This is our home remodeling service working across a whole house rather than one room.
The new kitchen was rebuilt in knotty alder with a quartz worktop, a patterned tile splashback, a gas range and wall mounted extraction. Cabinetry runs floor to ceiling to use the height of the room, and the finishes were chosen to sit naturally with the timber and steel used elsewhere in the house.

The stair and upper landing were opened up and fitted with a custom horizontal steel rail, made for this house. The finish carpentry on the stair and entry was the work of Arete Carpentry & Remodel LLC of Windsor, whose exceptional craftsmanship Blue Springs credited publicly at the time. The result changes how the whole home feels: the landing became usable space and the stair became something worth looking at rather than something to get past.
The photographs show the space stripped back to framing during the work, the planning sketches the project ran on, and a live edge timber slab prepared for the house during the build.
Based in Windsor, CO, Blue Springs Construction remodels kitchens, stairs and whole homes across Northern Colorado. One contractor, one schedule, one point of accountability:
Yes, and it is usually more efficient. On this project the kitchen and the stair were remodeled as one job, so the trades were sequenced once, the disruption happened once, and the finishes were chosen to work together across the house.
On most whole-home remodels, yes. We stage the work so part of the house stays livable, protect the areas we are not working in, and keep a schedule you can plan around. It is one of the first things we talk through at the walkthrough.
The stair was a team effort. The finish carpentry on the stair and entry was the work of Arete Carpentry & Remodel LLC of Windsor, working with Blue Springs on the remodel, and Blue Springs credited their exceptional craftsmanship publicly at the time. The custom horizontal steel rail was made for this house, and the live edge timber slab was prepared for the house during the build.
It depends on scope and finish level. The honest way to price one is room by room against a real plan, which is exactly what we do after a walkthrough. Our cost guides for kitchens and basements show how we think about pricing.
