"A house is made of bricks and beams. A home is made of hopes and dreams" - Ralph Waldo Emerson The Local Advantage: Why Northern Colorado Homeowners Benefit
Remodeling in a mountain environment presents unique challenges. It's not just about aesthetics; it's about understanding the specific conditions that impact your home's longevity and functionality. That's the local advantage Straub Fine Finishes brings to every project.
Chris is intimately familiar with our climate. He knows how the heavy snow loads and temperature fluctuations affect building materials. He understands the terrain and can navigate the access challenges that sometimes come with mountain properties. For example, Chris knows the importance of ensuring your decking can handle the weight of winter snow and choosing siding and exterior trim that can withstand harsh weather.
Our connection to the Northern Colorado community means we're invested in its success. Chris isn't just your local contractor; he's your neighbor. And if any issue arises, he's right here, ready to assist – a stark contrast to non-local companies that can be difficult to reach after the project is "complete." As they say, "A handshake is a contract," and at Straub Fine Finishes, Chris stands by his word.
