Christie’s Design/Build Remodeling

We purchased our home 13 years ago and looked forward to the day when we could remodel our kitchen and sun porch. After years of planning, the time came for us to begin our project. We began the process of looking for a reputable contractor to make our vision come to life. We found Christie's on Dave Logan's website, read the reviews and set up a meeting, After several months of planning, working with Boulder County to obtain our building permit, which was not an easy process, work began the Monday after Thanksgiving. With Steve's expertise, Alyssa's gift of understanding our vision, their onsite visits making sure all was going along as planned, their gift of encouragement as we not only were going through our remodel but we had several personal difficult circumstances, it would not have been a positive experience. We now have a beautiful kitchen, usable sun porch to entertain our family and friends. If you are planning a remodel in your near future and would like to see their work, please visit their website to see our remodel.

Christie's was the best decision we ever mad when it came to hiring a company to a vary large 2 story addition. During our initial consultation with Alyssa and Steve they were up front with us and told us our budget might not work with what we wanted to get done. We decided to move forward to plan and budget our project to see what we could get the project done for. We were able to get the the project planned out and got out budget on point for the addition. Of course there were a few hiccups a long the way, but we felt confident in Christie's to handle everything and we ended up getting our beautiful addition done right on time and were still in the right budget range we planned to stay in.
Thanks to everyone on the Christie's team for your hard work!

We are so grateful to Alyssa and the rest of the team at Christie's. We are technically a competitor of theirs but have never once felt like it. Ever since my husband met Alyssa at a networking event, she has been kind enough to share industry best practices with us and encourages us along our journey of small business ownership.If you are looking for a general contractor or cabinetry, I cannot recommend them enough. As someone who is within the remodeling industry, I can honestly say they are some of the good guys in this industry and you will enjoy working with them!!

We were thrilled with the job Christie’s did for us. We could not have designed and orchestrated the completion of our new laundry room and basement space without Christie’s.
The entire crew made sure that we were happy from beginning to end. Steve was a perfectionist, and very experienced and easy to communicate with. Alyssa was a dream to work with on the design.
If we had a question or concern, Christie’s responded to our concerns immediately. Everyone was extremely dependable and honest and a great team to work with. They were never too busy to drop by and see how the job was going.
We would highly recommend Christie’s.

I would like to commend Christie's design for the excellent job they did on a remodel to my Mothers house. I spent about 3 months looking for a contractor to do this job. After several estimates i went with Christie's. They were not they cheapest of the estimates that I received however they were the most impressive, the reviews were great as well as a great rating by the better business bureau. The timeline that they gave was acceptable for the amount of work that needed to be done. Alyssa the designer worked with me to get the job done just the way i wanted it. I did make a few small changes along the way and she always was able to accommodate these changes with little or no effort always with a smile. I would like to thank Alyssa, Diane, Steve, Kim and Jerry, they made this remodel a once in a lifetime experience. I would use this company again in a heartbeat. The house was gutted out down to the studs. The windows were all replaced as well as all of the plumbing and electrical. Load bearing walls were taken out and the staircase was relocated from the kitchen to the living room to create an open concept living space. A bedroom was removed to make a massive bathroom suite. The remodel ran over about 2 weeks however given the amount of work that was done it was totally acceptable. I can't say enough good things about this company. all new house inside and out. i can't thank them enough. Thanks once again for all the great work.

Christie’s did large redesign/renovation on my main floor. This included knocking down the wall between the dining room and kitchen to design an open concept floor plan, with a complete kitchen reno: installation of wood floors, quartz counter tops, conversion of electric to gas range, beautiful Wellborn cabinets, rustic hardware and a gorgeous Silgranite sink just to name a few things!! We had some quotes from other kitchen reno places that were either sky high or so low we questioned whether the quality of the work would be any good. I LOVED the extra time they took during the initial phone call to get a feel for our personalities and lifestyle before we ever really discussed the project itself or before they set foot in our home. What a valuable service that is - going above and beyond!! Kitchens are expensive and they helped us cut some costs creatively while still managing to retain some high-end design features (soft close drawers, pull out spice rack, crown molding among others). I wanted cherry but couldn’t afford it due to the expansive cabinetry not only in the kitchen but also in the butler’s pantry. Alyssa showed me a way to use durable maple and a glaze to get the look of cherry but not the expense. My Wellborn cabinets are absolutely gorgeous. The project was completed on time with minimal issues. I even made a last-minute request to scrape the ceiling and paint the adjoining living room and they slid this into the project with very little adjustment to the timeline. They have a very cool online project and budget management system where I could track the progress and look at pictures of the project while I was at work, and also post comments which were responded to same-day. We have loved our kitchen for several months now. Comments we have received from friends and visitors include, “this looks like a Parade of Homes kitchen,” “this kitchen will sell this whole house” and “you must never want to eat out.” They really read my mind and helped me visualize the kitchen of our dreams. I call it my “rustic luxury” kitchen. I would highly recommend Christie’s for your remodeling dreams.

They remodeled my kitchen & created a bathroom in my basement. Both projects were completed in a professional manor. The results were excellent in both. If you are looking for a builder to do it right an on time Christies is your best choice!

Christie's built an addition on our home. We found them to be helpful and attentive to our needs. They gave us options to think about that we would never have thought of. We had a general manager who came several times a week to check on the progress of our build. We would highly recommend them to anyone who wants to do a remodel or addition.

I would like to talk about Christie"s Design/Build Remodeling. I contacted them a year ago before Christmas for a kitchen remodel. What I got from Christie's team was a full fledged commitment and an on time remodel. My children were coming for the holidays and I asked if it would be possible to get it done prior to their arrival, they worked evenings and weekends...because once they gave me the commitment they were sincerely in keeping it. This is a group of professional people in every sense of the word. Fun to work with and create with and just very honest and hard working. I now am the proud owner of one of the most beautiful kitchens EVER!!!! You will certainly not be sorry to choose this company....and you'll have a friend forever!!!! Thank you Christie's Design!!!!

We were looking to finish our 1500 sq ft basement and did a bit of shopping around with several outfits here in Denver. My parents had used Christie's to finish their basement a few years back and Christie's did nice work for them. Pricing between the 3 companies was very close, so we decided to go with Christie's. We were not at all disappointed with our decision. Christie's is a family business and they treat their customers as part of their family. Alyssa, the daughter, did the 3-D design and listened to everything we wanted. We wanted an open floor plan with a wet bar, bathroom, storage areas, and larger entertainment areas. The design she came up with was exactly what we were looking for. They handled all of the permits through Broomfield county and the job went very smoothly. Shaun, the project manager, is a great guy and keeps his teams in line and on time. All of the workers we interacted with were very professional and did great work. From start to finish, Christie's did an excellent job of making sure we were happy with everything that was done. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. We've used several contractors in the past with varying results, but we'll definitely use Christie's again in the future and we tell everyone looking for any kind of remodeling/finishing to give Christie's a call.

Great company and great people to work with. The best word that comes to mind is Integrity! They have integrity and there aren't a lot of people or companies you can say that about these days. I would highly recommend!!

We have done business together now for almost 15 years. I have recommended them several clients and Friends everyone has been very happy. You get to Hometown Family feel when you go in to the office. I appreciate the years a great service and commitment through several projects.

They are hands down the best group of people to work with. I contracted them through a former employer to perform so work at an industrial facility. They executed this work with professionalism and integrity.

I love this company, can't say enough good things about them! We are working with them on redoing floors, bathrooms and eventually the kitchen. You will not find a more honest reliable company to work with!

The Christie's are very stand up people. Any project you are needing done this team is capable of. They give off a family vibe and are understanding to a customers needs. Their design team has an incredible eye to make your home look exactly the way you dream it to and they are efficient in accomplishing their goals! I highly recommend the Christie's Design to redo,build or design your living space!

Steve came to our aid last minute when a previous contractor bailed on us. He even went pretty far out of his way to go where we needed him...on a Saturday.

Christie's has done work at my parent's house and our house. Complete basement finishes for both homes and we couldn't be happier. Great work, competitive pricing and great communication.

The Christie's team recently finished the basement in our new home. They were recommended by friends and, from start-to-finish, we could not have been more pleased with their work. Initially, I had intended to get at least three quotes for what we had in mind. After one visit with Steve and Alyssa, my wife and I decided we'd just go with Christie's and, as I said above, we couldn't be happier. The Christie's internal staff is professional, friendly and very courteous, but you kind of expect that. What I was so impressed with was that it was the same with every subcontractor they brought into our home. From rough-in plumbing to carpeting, every company that came into our home was just as friendly and professional. Shaun told me that when their subs are not that way, he doesn't use them again. Talking with the subs during the project, I learned that most had a long-standing relationship with Christie's. If you need design or remodeling service, I don't think you can go wrong with Christie's.

Great people, great products, great ideas. You can't go wrong with Christie's Design/Build Remodeling!

While Christie's is not the cheapest contractor, their work is of the highest quality. They spent the time understanding my needs, and provided on-going advice and suggestions. You could tell they had pride i their work, given their attention to detail and execution. They also met all deadlines, and worked overtime/weekends as needed to meet agreed upon completion dates. Their entire team worked together well.

Honest, hardworking and a delight to work with. You definitely get what you pay for with these guys!

Christies is a great family company with an honest, upfront approach, and a great communication style. I chose them because they were a local company with an affordable estimate and could give access to us as owners having lots of hands-on input to all project decisions. They were prompt in addressing any problems that came up and were not afraid to replace subcontractors who were not skilled enough.

We had a complete and radical remodel of a condo in a 140 year old house ( with all its idiosyncrasies) which involved tearing down internal walls for a more open floor plan, reversing closets, redesigning the whole kitchen, bathroom/laundry area, and home office.
We are very pleased with the outcome and plan to age gracefully in place in our new, lovely open environment.

I really don’t know where to start with this… so, let’s go to our first meeting! Upon meeting you… Steve and Alyssa, I knew I had found a really great group to work with, but little did I know how wonderful this experience would turn out to be. I had visions of how a remodel would be…but, never experience one!!! I just thought I’d go with the flow. Your work ethic and attention to detail far exceeded my expectation. All the horror stories I have heard from friends made me feel like that was just a “norm”. I never once had a feeling of anything going “south” or neglected. Alyssa- you are dream to work with and it was always just a pleasure to meet with you and discuss the plans. You just made it fun and easy. You have wonderful ideas and you did an excellent job in planning my space and making a dream come true! Steve – you are such a hard worker and just an all-around wonderful person. You will have much success in this venture because of how you conduct your business. You made me a promise and you went above and beyond that promise and I totally appreciate everything you did for me. You gave me the Christmas of my dreams and I don’t even know how to express how much that meant to me and my family. It truly was the BEST CHRISTMAS EVER!! I totally miss our 15-minute morning meeting and I think you still ow me a couple of them…haha. Diane, I didn’t have as much contact as your coworkers, but, thank you for just always being so sweet!! You all make a great team together. Whomever I would contact, I always felt that you were right there to answer my questions or to help me out, thank you! Jerry – I love you to pieces. I just smile when you come in. you will do well in this job because you are so darn adorable. You are a hard worker and what I really appreciated is that you would always find something to do. I’ve been a “boss” and I’ll tell you. It is very rare to find someone who takes initiative and keeps themselves busy. Steve, Steve, Steve (ok, not the boss…. The new guy) What a pleasure to be with you every day. It was just so easy to be here with you and your profound knowledge really helped me so much. I trusted your judgement and you’re just a really really nice person. It is just a sad day that you are not coming through my door to work! I feel like I am just the luckiest person alive and I just thank all of you and all the workers that came in here to do projects. You have surrounded yourselves with some great people!

Overall, we are very pleased with our new addition and the stairs. Steve, Alyssa and Mark were very easy to deal with, and I appreciate their persistence in tackling a tough job and some tricky code issues. Figuring out ways to make the basement stairs work with required riser heights was challenging, and the solution that Steve came up with works brilliantly. Steve also took our wish for lots of light and access to the backyard seriously and came up with a great plan for two French doors and plenty of well-placed windows. Mark spent much of his time working on site and was excellent about communicating what was going on.

I couldn't be more pleased with the work that Christie's Complete Services performed on our bathroom remodel. Steve Christie was extremely patient with my wife and I as we were very indecisive about the bathroom design decisions. My personal opinion of Steve Christie is that he is a problem solver. Throughout the entire process he offered suggestions to help in many ways, from suggestions that amounted to cost savings to better design. He never pressured us into anything that we did not want.
For me the best part of working with CCS was that I felt that every time a problem came up over the course of the project, as will happen in all projects, I was always comfortable bringing it up. In all cases we were able to either work out a compromise or the problem was explained to me in detail and options to resolve it were laid out clearly. There was never a moment of disagreement to the point where I felt it was me vs CCS. Instead it was always, here's a problem and here are options we have to solve it.
On some more specific points, the crew was always punctual, or, if there was need for work to be rescheduled I was notified in advance. The crew performed the work with a minimal amount of mess and they were always respectful of our home.
If I had any criticism of CCS in this project it would be that in a few cases some specific details of the project that had been discussed occasionally seemed to be forgotten, but there was never a problem when I reminded them of the issue. So, in general I think that they could work a little harder on keeping track of finer details of the project. All of the work I requested was done, though, and done to my satisfaction.
I will not hesitate to rehire CCS for future work.

I had my two upstairs bathrooms completely remodeled. They were gutted, and I got all new backboards, tiling in the shower and tub, toilets, showers, floors, European shower doors, and granite counter tops. This went on for exactly two months, and everything is gorgeous. The only problem I had was one day the tilers were running late, they were supposed to come at 9 and they came at 12. Other than that everything was great.

Christie's is the BEST company we've worked with in 30 years of home ownership -- highest standards, professionalism, and superb client care.
Christie's Design/Build Remodeling completely updated our 1923 home. They maintained the architectural look and feel of a 1920s American bungalow to the letter. They redesigned rooms and created new living space with an addition, plus built a new porch that overlooks Boulder Valley and the Flatirons. The end result is simply beautiful!
In addition, they included Aging in Place features, and also followed "best practices" with Earth-friendly materials. They used the SW-facing side of the house to create spaces of natural light that change as the sun rises and sets. Every square foot of this 1500 sq ft house has been transformed.
Christie's has a great work ethic and friendliness, which is what the West is all about. Great communication, excellent crew, and an all-around positive experience. Highly recommended. If I could put A+++, I would!

My summary. . . Outstanding!

Longer version . . . Steve Christie and crew were there for our commercial build out process from start to finish. From our first meeting when he put us “newbie’s” at ease to the final inspection process and approval we knew all the way that we had made the right decision to engage them.

Although our project wasn’t very large there were a few tricky items to be completed. Christie’s took them on and completed them with fine workmanship and superb work ethic. From our initial sit down through the final inspections, we were very happy we had chosen them.

We’d highly recommend them as a contractor and will surely use them again when the need arises.

Thanks Christie’s!

We hired Christie's to correct problems with our stairs caused by a previous contractor. Steve did careful and extensive investigation to solve the issues so I felt confident the problems were corrected.

The cost felt fair and did not creep up.

The timeline and quality of the finish work were average.

Built a porch over the patio and a rock wall to enclose the patio. The project followed architect drawings. The roof was more extensive that a typical shed roof.
Steve was very responsive to any concerns or questions. He did a good job of managing around difficult weather conditions.
The end product looked very good. Both the rock wall and patio roof looked very good.

The project started in May. There were several severe hail and rainstorms which delayed progress. It would have been better to start a few months earlier when it was dryer.
During June the wall was poured and roof built. The roof had massive 12"x12" beams and required careful cutting to get them lined up right.
A little after July 4 the project was completed. The roof made a significant difference to the look of that part of the house.

The staff at Christie's worked with my husband and I to identify the many issues on a house we had purchased in Commerce City. The are honest, their prices are reasonable, the work and their work ethic is excellent. My husband and I plan to hire Christie's in the summer for other project.

Finished the basement by adding a family room (including a wet bar), craft room, storage room and linen closet. Work included framing, drywall, electrical, plumbing, painting and drop ceiling.
From the beginning, Christie's were great to work with. They listened to our ideas and gave helpful suggestions that improved our original plan. They were very aware of our budget and worked with us to keep it in line. They always kept us informed with what was going on and what they were doing. They also kept their work area clean. At the end of the day, they would clean their area and put their tools away, even though they were going to be back the next day. They also strived to keep the rest of the house clean by sealing off the door that went from the basement to the first floor.

We are planning to replace our deck. Christie's are our top choice for this and any future projects.

When we first moved into our home, the basement was not inviting, to say the least. We began looking for someone to refinish it as soon as possible. We became discouraged after meeting with a few contractors, as we no one seemed willing to do what we wanted. Thankfully, a friend recommended Steve Christie to us. Steve made us feel comfortable and we knew right away that Steve would work with us and accommodate our needs. He compiled a detailed and accurate proposal for us that we accepted. Steve had some innovative ideas to maximize the space in our basement. He even completed the job within the time frame he initially gave us. We really enjoy spending time in our basement now. We recommend Steve to all of our friends. He is extremely honest and trustworthy, and we couldn't be more thrilled with our new basement.

We have used Christie's Complete Services several times over the past four years from small bathroom jobs to hole house remodel jobs requiring a lot of experience and planning. Steve has always delivered what we needed at a fair price with the exact level of quality he promised. He brings fresh alternatives along with traditional choices for the best results. We've returned several times for consultation, seemingly minor tasks as well as for major home improvements inside and outside. We trust Steve's experience and reliability and feel comfortable recommending his services to anyone else.

Shirley and I just wanted to drop you a quick note to let you know how much we appreciate the manner and timeliness of the four projects you completed for us this past summer, so much so that, CCS is now officially our "Contractor of Choice" for all of our future projects. This past spring, when we started the process of dealing with some deferred maintenance issues on our twenty year old home, we decided on four projects that needed immediate attention. The west side of the house needed some grading work to mitigate water seepage into the basement and to fix a constantly flooding window well. The original roof and gutters needed replacing. The 6' cedar privacy fence needed replacing. The finished portion of the basement needed new flooring and we really wanted to update the original basement bathroom. I contracted with Steve Christie of Christies Complete Services to repair a second floor deck. Rather than just looking at the rotting wood and replacing it, Steve took the time to investigate the damage below the deck and its effect on our home. What was an unsightly deck was actually ruining our home. Steve took the time to solve the problem and came up with a great solution. His work was done very quickly, within budget and with the least amount of interruption in our lifestyle. There is neither drama nor changes in the scope of the work. On a personal note, Steve is of the highest integrity, does great work and has a high commitment to quality. He knows what he is doing and his bids are accurate (no surprises). I would trust Steve to do work for anyone.

We found Christies through a number of ways including word of mouth, research on the internet and the phone book. I remodeled my bathroom about a year ago and picked the wrong contractors to do it. After about 3 weeks I kicked them out of my home and started the search for someone to fix their mistakes and unfinished work. In the meantime my hot water heater started leaking so I called the city building inspectors and one came out and as we were talking he gave me a list of contractors not only for water heater but for fixing the bathroom. I chose a contractor to do the water heater and he suggested a couple more contractors and I checked them out and called Christies. Steve Christie came out and looked the bathroom over and gave me a quote and was the only contractor that picked up the leak behind the shower head wall. Christies fixed all the mistakes including ripping up the marble tile and replacing it with a more suitable tile and preparing floor as it had not been done the first time. They took the extra time to make sure we were happy and came back to make sure everything working correctly. They took the extra to step to spray stuff under our fiber tub so it would not snap and pop when we stepped in it to take a show, that involved going under the house, drilling a couple of holes and then spraying this stuff up under the tub. I would recommend Christies for any remodeling or additions to your home.

We just wanted to give you a follow-up on the guest and master-bath remodel you did for us last year. After twelve months, we're very pleased to tell you that, we wouldn't have changed any part of the design. The plan, as you suggested and we agreed upon, has proved to be perfect for our life style. I won't do a summation of the individual items of the remake. I'd prefer to let the pictures I sent you last year, speak for themselves. I will state that, after a remodel, it should feel at least as familiar and comfortable as that which was replaced. The remodel, has felt great from day one! One of the goals of our remodel was to enhance the livability of our house for our senior years. That was accomplished with thought and planning for the future by installing the wider door to the toilet and the 3/4" particle board behind the dry-wall, and shower lining, to facilitate easy installation of any grab rails that we may require in the future. Often, it's the least thought of items that are the most significant. Your re-alignment of the original plumbing was superb. We can now take a shower while someone either flushes the toilet or, turns on the water in a sink and not have the water pressure or temperature go berserk in the shower. Gee, that's really nice! Most of all, we've appreciated the continuity of the architecture to the original. From the fit and finish of the cabinets to the exterior trim on the new windows, it all looks like it should have been from the first day we moved into our house back in '87.

My neighbor two doors down came over while I was out in the front yard and was wondering how things were going. He's been wanting to replace several windows very similar to ours but didn't really know where to start. I showed him the whole Milgard system and he was totally blown away by the solid design and the look of the woodclad fiberglass! He then asked me what I thought about the work and I explained how completely professional you and your crew have been and that you guys really work on the job like it's your own home. He was extremely impressed with how clean the job site was left for the weekend as well and the fact that there weren't tools laying around or drywall dust, etc, etc... (so you can tell Steven his meticulous attention to keeping the jobsite squared away really paid off for you!

Big thanks to Steve and his team- As my husband and myself were getting older, my husband could not step over the tub's edge without great difficulty, and it had become quite dangerous for him to take a shower. Living on a fixed income, we could not afford a new bathroom remodel, but needed something done. I was glad that Steve came along as he not only helped us find a solution to our budget by replacing the bathtub with a walk-in shower; he widened the doorway to make it easier for my husband to maneuver his walker. Additionally, Christie's installed a ramp in our garage to make it easier for my husband as we now do not have to worry about steps to get to our car. Thanks to Steve and Bob, my husband can now maneuver around our home much easier and safer. Christie's people are professional and friendly; they cleaned up after themselves on a daily basis, always showing respect to myself and my property. I recommend them to all my Friends.

They know how to get around the problems you run into during remodels. Christie's Design/Build Remodeling was really good. With any kind of remodeling job on an existing house, you're gonna run into problems. One of the things I like about Steve, and the other guys at Christie's, is that they know how to get around these things. Before diving into the problem and just doing whatever, they sit down and talk with you about it, and that happens on almost every job that they've ever done for us.

Christie's worked from my initial layout sketches, compensating for and modifying the basement utilities to provide a finished basement commensurate with the rest of the house. They provided suggestions for enhancement of my original design to make the space even more functional. No issues with workmanship or materials used. They did the work right versus trying to do it as cheaply as possible.

Angie and I have used Steve Christie's services on both of our houses in Rock Creek. As his business has grown, he and his crews have always provided dedication and focus. Christie's tells it like it is and worked with us to make the best decision for our budget and preferences. Since we only do remodeling infrequently it has been re-assuring to find Christie's and know it will be done right and to our satisfaction. Every time we move, we like to make things a little better in the house so we will be calling Christie's again!

We had a good experience with only a few problems that were handling as quickly as they could be. The overall work was done as professionally as we expected. We were able to work together to get the flow and look we were looking for. I am very happy with my kitchen. Feel free to show the pictures or if you would just call and we can arrange a visit.

Steve & team kept us in the loop all the way and delivered quality at a reasonable price. We'll call them again.

I had a very good experience with Christie's Design. They did good work. Steve was easy to work with, and easy to get a hold of and contact. I really liked that, as sometimes when you get a builder you can never find them.

This letter of recommendation is for Christie's Complete Services on the completion of a patio roof and rock wall completed this summer. The quality of work was very good, with the sub-contractors cleaning up their work area each day. The project was completed close to the original estimate. When issues came up, Steve was responsive in getting the issues resolved. The project was in process from roughly May 2011 to July 2011.
