Metal Roofing on a Mediterranean-Style Colorado Home

Metal roofing panels formed and coated to read as tile or slate give a Mediterranean or Spanish Revival home its traditional low-pitch, red-tile look while standing up to a Front Range hailstorm far better than actual clay tile does.

Plumbing Mistakes That Cost Colorado Homeowners Most

The plumbing mistake that costs Colorado homeowners the most is not a clogged drain, it is skipping the fall sprinkler blowout and leaving a hose connected once temperatures drop, both of which turn a five-minute maintenance task into a multi-thousand-dollar frozen-pipe repair. The everyday clogging mistakes matter too, but they rarely reach the dollar amount a Front Range winter freeze does, and

House Flipping for Beginners in Colorado: Denver Metro Guide

A beginner flips a house in Colorado by buying at no more than 70% of the finished value minus repair costs, fixing the systems Colorado buyers inspect first (roof, foundation, sewer, furnace, radon), and listing at a price the Denver metro comps support.

Selling a House in Probate in Colorado: Steps, Timeline, Taxes

Fixing Grease-Clogged Drains in a Colorado Home

A grease-clogged drain in a Colorado home in most cases clears with hot (not boiling) water, a stiff pour of baking soda followed by vinegar, and a plumbing snake for anything the first two do not move. Front Range hard water makes the problem worse than in a soft-water market: mineral buildup narrows the pipe over time, giving grease less room to pass through before it catches and hardens into a

How to Read Colorado Housing Market Trends

Colorado home prices move on three things: how many buyers are looking, how many homes are for sale, and what it costs to borrow. Track those three numbers for your specific city instead of a national headline, and you will have a far better read on whether now is a good time to list or to buy on the Front Range.Prices rise when buyer demand outpaces the number of homes for sale, and soften when

Most Profitable Home Improvements Before Selling in Colorado

The most profitable home improvements before selling a Colorado home are the ones that undo what the sun, hail and clay soil have done to it: exterior paint on the worn elevations, a cleaned and stained deck, a repaired roof, a water-wise front yard, one warm white through the interior and clean floors.

Plumbing Issues New Colorado Homeowners Should Check

A new Colorado homeowner should check four things before the first winter: the sewer line, the water heater's age and scale buildup, the exposed pipes most prone to freezing, and any sign of an unpermitted repair from a previous owner.
