Project Spotlight: Kitchen Renovation in Arvada, Colorado

Project Spotlight: Kitchen Renovation in Arvada, Colorado

At Trustwork Home Renovations and Repairs, we understand that kitchens are more than just a place to cook—they’re the heart of the home. That’s why we focus on delivering high-quality home renovations in the Denver Metro area, tailored to homeowners who value modern design, quality craftsmanship, and timely project completion. Recently, we had the opportunity to renovate a kitchen in Arvada, Colorado—a space that needed both an aesthetic and functional overhaul. Here’s how we did it.


The Challenge: Outdated Kitchen in a 2005 Home


The home, built in 2005, had a kitchen that was starting to show signs of age. Dark wood tones and cramped spaces made it feel outdated and dreary. The homeowners, a family of three, were looking for a more modern, functional, and welcoming space to gather, cook, and entertain. Their goal was clear: to create a kitchen that was bright, open, and contemporary.


Design Consultation: Bringing Ideas to Life

We collaborated with the homeowners to bring their vision to life. With a budget that aligned with their desired quality and scope, we finalized a design plan that included:

  • A 10-foot island as the central gathering spot for family and guests.
  • Lighter-colored cabinets and luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring for durability and ease of maintenance, especially with children and pets.
  • Modern appliances, including a gas cooktop, double oven, and a farmhouse sink for added functionality and elegance.


The gray and white color scheme was chosen to maintain a timeless yet modern aesthetic, while the floor-to-ceiling pantry was added to enhance storage and make the kitchen feel more open.


The Renovation Process: From Planning to Completion


A seamless renovation requires proper planning and effective project management. Our team at Trustwork Home Renovations ensures that each project is executed with precision and efficiency. Here’s how we made it happen:


1. Project Planning & Scheduling

We created a detailed, color-coded schedule that outlined each phase of the renovation. Tasks like electrical and plumbing rough-ins were sequenced to avoid conflicts between contractors. This allowed us to stick to the timeframe while ensuring quality work every step of the way.


2. Scope and Change Management

Clear communication from day one was key to setting the right expectations. We worked closely with the homeowners to define the scope and lock in the budget, ensuring there were no surprises. We maintained ongoing communication throughout the project, updating the homeowners regularly and addressing any adjustments or changes to the plan.


3. Cost & Risk Management

From the initial estimate to budget refinement, we worked with the homeowners to ensure costs remained in check. Risk mitigation measures, like adjusting plumbing and electrical layouts for the new design, were planned ahead of time to avoid delays or unexpected expenses.


4. Quality Control & Communication

We take pride in delivering top-tier service and craftsmanship. Daily updates, photos, and proactive communication kept the homeowners informed throughout the project. Whether it was installing new cabinetry, upgrading appliances, or enhancing the lighting, we made sure everything was done with precision.


The Stunning Result: A Modern, Functional Kitchen


After six weeks of hard work, the kitchen renovation was a resounding success. The space that once felt dark and outdated was now open, bright, and full of modern features. Here are some of the standout results:

  • A 10-foot island with a farm sink and upgraded faucet, perfect for family meals and entertaining.
  • Floor-to-ceiling pantries that provided ample storage, freeing up valuable counter space.
  • Brightened lighting, including additional ceiling lights and cabinet lights, creating an airy, inviting atmosphere.
  • High-end appliances, including a double oven and gas cooktop, designed for both style and function.


The homeowners were thrilled with the transformation, and their kitchen was now a space they could enjoy for years to come.

Project Spotlight: Bathroom Remodel in Arvada, Colorado
March 12, 2025
Bathrooms are more than a place to brush your teeth and wash your hands. Whether it’s a primary bathroom where you are getting ready for the day or unwinding at night, or a powder room for friends and family to use when they visit, bathrooms are a place for comfort, functionality, and aesthetic appeal. Like every area of a home, bathrooms need updates to keep your home comfortable and looking its best. Renovations are no small undertaking and homeowners expect a result that is stunning and will last for many years to come. That’s why it’s important to work with a general contractor to create a design that aligns with modern trends as well as your personal style and preferences. Bathroom and Bathroom Renovation Trends in 2025: Showers Many homeowners are swapping out their bathtubs to make space for large showers. They don’t use their bathtubs due to lack of time juggling family life and work or just personal preference. Luxurious shower features, such as multiple shower heads and wall jets that are controlled independently are growing in popularity. Sleek and clear designs are in so a lot of clients are opting for showers with curbless entries and frameless glass enclosures. Tile is still by far the most dominant material for showers due to its durability and the multitude of style and color options available. Freestanding tubs For bath lovers who can’t bring themselves to eliminate their tub, the trend is to opt for freestanding tubs that take us less floor space thus still allowing for a bigger shower while also maintaining a modern look. Many homeowners replace their built-in, bulky jet tub with a sleek, contemporary freestanding tub. Patterns/Colors If you read our blog on kitchen renovation trends , you know that light, understated paint colors are in. Paint colors such as grays and sometimes greens are the primary selections we’ve been seeing for bathroom renovations due to their elegant and relaxing nature. Although grays remain the predominant choice, that doesn’t mean the design is plain and boring. Using different tiling patterns on showers and floors while staying within the same color palette is one way many clients create some contrast and uniqueness while maintaining a modern, simple look and feel. Flooring Tile and luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring remain the most popular choices for bathroom floors.LVP is a great choice for any bathroom, but especially for homeowners with children and/or pets. It is also a very popular choice for rental property owners who are looking for ways to minimize maintenance costs. Heated floors are also gaining popularity, especially with Colorado’s cold winter weather. Storage Lack of storage is a major pain point we hear from clients so new linen closets and large vanities that have plenty of drawers are now a higher priority with homeowners. In the past, vanities, sinks, and countertops had to be installed separately; however, high-quality all-in-one vanities that reduce installation costs are now readily available.. Although grays and whites are still the dominant colors for paint, natural wood colors are trending for bathroom vanities and cabinets. Finishes & Fixtures It’s the little things that make a big difference when it comes to renovations. That’s why homeowners have been opting for luxurious details, from heated towel bars to fancy remote controlled bidet toilets to awning style windows that allow homeowners to enjoy the Colorado weather while getting ready for the day. Details such as black towel bars and matching door hinges paired with lighter coloring throughout bathrooms, help make the design pop. However, finishes are not limited to black, bronze/black hues, brush nickel, and high-quality gold fixtures are making a comeback. Preferences change over time and cause shifts in home renovation trends. Consumers are valuing functionality AND style when it comes to home projects. Lighter, brighter designs bring a fresh new look into homes that occupants can enjoy for years to come. Looking to upgrade your bathroom with a top-tier renovation in the Denver metro area?
