Our Services

The strongest projects begin before construction starts.

Solveson Builders offers design-build planning and drafting support for clients who want a clear direction before moving into full construction. This service is ideal for new custom homes, additions, ADUs, remodels, exterior transformations, outdoor living projects, and early-stage multifamily planning.

Many construction problems begin when design, budget, materials, and buildability are not reviewed together early enough. Our design-build process helps clients make better decisions before money is wasted, plans become unrealistic, or the project moves forward without a clear path.

Our design and planning services may include:

* Design-build consultation
* Concept planning
* Drafting support
* Floor plan review
* Addition planning
* ADU planning
* Remodel planning
* Exterior design planning
* Outdoor living concepts
* Material and finish direction
* Budget planning
* Constructability review
* Pre-construction estimating
* Project phasing recommendations

This is one of the most valuable services we offer because it helps clients understand what is possible, what is practical, and what level of investment may be required before construction begins.

Best for: custom homes, additions, ADUs, investment properties, major remodels, outdoor living projects, and clients who want a professional plan before they build.

Solveson Builders provides design-build support for new custom homes throughout Grand Junction, Mesa County, and Western Colorado.

We are especially interested in homes where design, proportion, material selection, site layout, and long-term value matter. A custom home should not feel generic. It should be designed around the land, the lifestyle of the owner, the views, the natural light, the structure, the budget, and the way the home will be used for years to come.

Our custom home services may include:

* Early design-build consultation
* Site and layout planning
* Drafting coordination
* Budget planning
* Material and finish direction
* Construction planning
* Trade coordination
* New home construction
* Interior and exterior finish planning
* Outdoor living integration

Our goal is not simply to build square footage. Our goal is to help create homes that feel intentional, well-built, and lasting.

A well-planned addition should feel like it has always belonged.

Solveson Builders helps homeowners expand their homes with additions that are designed around the existing structure, rooflines, foundation conditions, circulation, natural light, materials, budget, and long-term use.

Addition services may include:

* Primary suite additions
* Bedroom additions
* Family room additions
* Kitchen expansions
* Garage additions
* Home office additions

Additions require careful planning because they connect new construction to an existing home. When done correctly, an addition improves both the function and value of the property. When rushed or poorly planned, it can feel disconnected, awkward, or expensive to correct later.

Our design-build approach helps clients think through the details early so the finished addition feels natural, useful, and well-built.

Accessory Dwelling Units, guest houses, and secondary living spaces can add flexibility, rental potential, family housing options, and long-term property value.

Solveson Builders provides residential remodeling services for clients who want more than a surface-level update.

We focus on remodels where design, craftsmanship, material selection, finish quality, and long-term value matter. A strong remodel should improve how the home looks, how it functions, and how it feels to live in.
