Over the past three years we've had the honor of helping people rebuild their homes after catastrophic wildfire loss. It's been incredibly meaningful to do this work and we appreciate each and every one of them!
Read about one homeowner's experience rebuilding with us:
"If you find yourself in the position of having to rebuild your home after a fire, you have my sympathy. In December of 2021, my entire subdivision burned down in minutes from the Marshall fire that destroyed over 1000 homes in Colorado. So many decisions had to be made quickly while under so much pressure. My one desire was to get back home as fast as possible. I wanted a great home design but with a dependable builder with a track record that I could trust.
Our community held a builder’s fair with over 40 builders, architects and financiers even before our lots were cleared. So I had the opportunity to meet dozens of builders and architects, and review every plan available. I took my time, did a deep analysis and chose Remington Rebuilds because:
1) Remington Homes had an excellent reputation having built thousands of homes in Colorado. I didn’t have to worry about vetting outside contractors, paying an architect, or competing with others rebuilding to find an available contractor. They had all the staff in place to build fast and efficiently. There was no second guessing on cost - their Sales rep made sure that the contracts were clear and understandable. This made it easy to work within my budget.
2) They hired a staff member with an insurance background to communicate directly with insurance. This proved so helpful in cutting through the red tape of insurance issues. I cannot emphasize enough just how important this proved to be in my rebuild process.
3) Their plans offered optional design modifications with set prices, so I was able to build the house that I wanted, but without the custom home price tag. Plus, all of their designs featured open layouts with great kitchens and large windows for lots of light. I loved that they had open staircases which added a touch of elegance. Additionally, the Design Center was huge and had an experienced staff to help navigate all the options for floors, cabinetry and tile.
As my house went up, I was walked through every phase of the rebuilding process and was given time to inspect the house while it was under construction. If I spotted any issues they were taken care of immediately. My build was completed on budget with no hidden costs or surprises. I was always advised of what was being done and if any changes were necessary, I had time to review and approve of them.
I was one of the first homes rebuilt post fire. I could not believe how fast my home went up. Everyone who comes to my new house for the first time says the same thing – WOW!
I’ve been in my beautiful new home almost two years now – and I’m still so grateful that I went with Remington Rebuilds as my builder."
