Behold the Difference! Every day we are invited into our customer’s homes. Into their safe place and sanctuary. Quite often this is in the midst of a concern or issue that needs to be fixed! With an extensive background that spans well beyond just the trades, we love to be different. In addition to decades of industry experience, we bring some secret sauce - we love to take all the time needed to help, to make sure you are comfortable, and to provide amazing solutions. Come BEHOLD the difference! "Unfortunately we do not service or intall swamp or evaporative coolers".

"My water heater had gone out and called and called around trying to get quotes and big company’s were trying to schedule in person quotes which I know is a strong arm to get the work done then and there because they are already at your house ect. But with Behold I had a personal direct text from them asking about my situation and all I had to do was give some info send in pictures and voilà! They gave me their quote(2300$) which also beat all the company’s(3k$+) I had heard from! They had a tech out to me ASAP. It almost could’ve been same day but I was in no rush. Hunter came in and did it all him self of removal of old and installing new in just two hours! They are great to work worth and will definitely recommend and go to again."

The craftsmanship is top notch and the new patio completely transformed our outdoor space. We’ve already received so many compliments from friends and neighbors.

"DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! I spent $14k having Front Range complete a sewer line fix on my house. Four months later the line was backing up again and Front Range was unwilling to warranty any of their work! Apparently they lost all camera footage on the sewer line scope and were not willing to share any notes on the job. I made several attempts to speak with the owner Quinn, but he ignored emails, voicemails and texts. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!"

"I had an idea on how to extract water from my window wells after watching multiple Youtube videos. Devin's idea to put a drain pipe, if the French Drain was still operational, proved to be the right way to go. He saved us a few thousands dollars based on a prior quote. He was prompt, listened to our proposal and communicated alternative ideas. A pleasure to work with. Devin did this work during Memorial Weekend! Wow!"

The project finished on time within budget with zero surprises. Any concerns that arose were addressed expeditiously and professionally. I highly recommend Colorado Paradise Builders for your next project. The building inspections were coordinated by Colorado Paradise Builders and passed easily.

I could not be more enthusiastic with a recommendation."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The best type of soil to build on is a mixture of sand and clay, known as loam soil. Loam soil has the best combination of these soil types to build a foundation on. The clay particles help with water retention, so it won’t erode like sandy soil might, and the sandy particles help with drainage, so you won’t see unsafe soil expansion or have an increased risk of leaks from water sitting against your foundation.

Yes. A metal detector is one of the quickest and easiest ways to find your septic tank. However, metal detectors can be too expensive (costing upward of $300 in some cases), and not everyone has a metal detector just lying around. If that’s the case for you, you can also take a long metal rod and poke it into the ground at regular intervals until you hit something—likely your septic tank lid.

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.

Almost any kind of home can have a wine cellar or cabinet installed. You’ll need an area where a concrete floor can be put in, along with the necessary insulation, climate control, and ventilation systems. If you think of yourself as an aspiring sommelier, an underground wine cellar may be ideal, but it will cost significantly more. 

What you choose to install really depends on your budget and how many bottles you’re looking to store.

Above ground pools are not buried in the ground. Typically, above ground pools are semi-permanent. One reason they’re more affordable is that you don’t have to dig for an inground pool and pour concrete or another material. However, you can choose to install a semi inground pool, which is a hybrid between the two.
