Wheat Ridge.

Wheat Ridge's older housing stock, much of it from the mid-20th century, tends to carry original plumbing and electrical behind kitchen and bathroom walls that were never updated when the fixtures were. We treat that as the first thing to check, not a surprise mid-project.

It's also a part of the metro where a basement finish frequently doubles as the fix for a house that's simply run out of usable rooms, without touching the footprint or the roofline.
