Frequently asked questions

What services does Homestead Improvements provide?

We provide remodeling and repair services for homes and rental properties, including kitchen remodels, bathroom remodels, flooring installation, roofing repair, drywall repair and general handyman work. We also install tile and fences and coordinate subcontractors for larger jobs while acting as general contractor for projects that are too small for larger firms.

Do you serve Colorado Springs and nearby communities?

Yes, we serve Colorado Springs and the surrounding communities within our local service area. If you are unsure whether we cover your address, check the areas we serve on our locations page or get in touch to confirm availability.

How do you price a project like a kitchen or bathroom remodel?

We price projects based on the scope, materials, access, and any required trade work such as plumbing or electrical. After a site review we provide a written estimate that breaks down labor, materials, subcontractor costs and allowances for finishes so you can compare options without surprises.

How long will a typical remodel or repair take?

Project timelines depend on the size and complexity of the job; small repairs can take a day or two while full bathroom or kitchen remodels typically take several weeks. We build schedules that include permitting, material lead times and inspections, and we communicate milestones so you know what to expect at each stage.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes, we are licensed and insured and we operate with professional trade partners when needed. Being licensed and insured helps protect your property and our crew, and we will provide proof of coverage for insurance related work or when requested for larger projects.

Can you work with my insurance after storm damage?

Yes, we routinely coordinate with insurance companies for storm damage repairs and restoration work. We document damage, prepare scopes of work that align with insurance requirements and work with adjusters while managing the repairs to restore the property.

How should I prepare my home before your team starts work?

For most projects we ask that you clear work areas of personal items and secure valuables; we will protect floors and living spaces and contain dust as work proceeds. For rental turnovers we can discuss staging access and keys so the process is efficient and avoids extended vacancy.

Do you handle small repairs and handyman tasks between remodels?

Yes, we handle small repairs such as drywall patches, baseboard installation, light fixture changes and minor carpentry along with larger remodeling work. These small tasks help maintain livability and prevent small problems from becoming larger issues over time.

How do you help choose materials and finishes?

We advise on material choices based on durability, maintenance, budget and the home environment, for example flooring suitable for rental properties or moisture resistant tile for bathrooms. We can show samples, explain tradeoffs such as wear and longevity, and include allowances in estimates so you can make informed selections.

What should I expect during an Airbnb or VRBO renovation?

Expect a schedule focused on minimizing downtime, clear communication about timelines and finishes that hold up to frequent guest use. We have experience with short term rental updates and can recommend durable surfaces, efficient layouts and quick turnover workflows that help preserve revenue while improving guest experience.

How do I get started with Homestead Improvements?
