Marooned in Paradise: Whole Home Remodel in Broomfield, CO

A Family of Five, One Big Vision

A Broomfield family of five came to us with a house full of memories and a long list of things that no longer worked. With both parents working full-time jobs and a need to make the home work for every family member long term, they wanted a contractor they could trust to manage every detail of a large project.

"Extremely happy with Bunn & Sons! Couldn’t have asked for a better contractor/partner to work with on this large scale home remodel! We worked with the team from start to finish (initial phone conversation through final completion day) for about 11 months. The entire process and outcome exceeded our expectations. Tom and the full team are complete professionals: experts in their field, detailed and meticulous in their process, caring and personable in all interactions, reliable and trustworthy, and precise with their scheduling and timeline commitments. The actual work performed and project outcome/quality is top-notch and we are now living in a beautifully renovated space. Excellent experience across the board!"

The Right Neighborhood, the Wrong Floor Plan

A kitchen short on light: The original kitchen felt dark and gloomy, with dated finishes that weren’t the family’s style.

Not enough room to gather: The layout couldn’t comfortably hold a family of five, let alone the people they wanted to host.

A long-term living question: The home needed to make space for an adult child with disabilities to continue to live at home.

Three levels that felt disconnected: Outdated doors, trim, and finishes throughout left the main level, upstairs, and basement feeling like three separate eras of the same house.

Designed for the Future

Our design team reimagined the kitchen layout from scratch and drew up an entirely new floor plan for the basement living space. We helped the family select every material, built 3D visuals so they could see the home before it was built, and coordinated each piece of development and construction along the way.

The Spaces That Changed Everything

Open-concept kitchen with a large white island, brown leather stools, and dark wood floors under recessed lighting.

A Kitchen Built to Hold a Whole Family

The new layout opens to the living spaces and gives every member of the family a place to land, cook, and linger together.

Basement recreation room with a ping-pong table in the foreground and a treadmill against the far wall, warmly lit with recessed lights and dark wood flooring.

A Basement Reborn From the Studs Up

A complete tear-down and rebuild turned 1,500 square feet of basement into a true second living level the family can grow into for decades.

Bright living room with a fireplace centered on a textured wall, flanked by dark teal panels and two wall sconces.

A Living Room That Invites You In

An updated living room and new fireplace gave the family a calm, gathering-friendly heart of the home for everyday evenings together.

White mudroom with beadboard walls, upper cabinets, hooks, and a dark wood bench along the wall.

A Mudroom With Plenty of Storage

A thoughtfully reconfigured, fully customized mudroom finally gives a family of five a place for backpacks, jackets, and the daily in-and-out of real life.

A Home Their Family Can Grow Into

What started as a list of frustrations became a home built to carry this family forward. The kitchen finally fits the people who use it, the basement answers a long-term question about where their adult child will live, and every level of the house now feels like part of the same story. They didn't move. They stayed, and made it theirs.
