About us
Built To Last Remodeling is Mike and his crew, based in Manitou Springs and working across the Colorado Springs area.
Yes, we painted that ourselvesThat's how Mike describes the business, and the photos back it up. Kitchens and bathrooms, tile and floors, stairs and railings, decks and fences, basement and garage conversions, fireplaces and framing. It all gets done by the same crew.
Customers notice. One family who hired us for their kitchen and living room said they picked us because of the vibe when Mike and his crew walked in to bid the job, then stayed happy because the work was top tier and didn't break the bank. (They also mentioned the good music on the job site.)
On the job




Built To Last recently completed our kitchen and living room remodel. It turned out amazing! When Mike and his crew walked in for the first time while we were soliciting bids, we just got this awesome vibe from them. The quality of their work is top tier, and they won't break the bank, either.

How we work
A repeat customer needed their only shower redone. We tore out the tile, insulated, drywalled, tiled, built a niche and shelves, set the vanity and toilet, and trimmed it out in a week and a half.
That's the job straight from Mike's own project notes. Not every project is that quick, but every project gets planned around your house and your life.

Citywide
From the west side to the newer neighborhoods, we remodel kitchens and bathrooms, finish basements, build decks and install floors across Colorado Springs.
Our workThe most common projects we see are bathroom remodels, kitchen updates, new flooring and decks. Plenty of homes here have original oak kitchens, carpeted stairs and builder-grade bathrooms that are ready for an update. Those are exactly the kinds of projects in our portfolio.
In Colorado Springs, building permits run through the Pikes Peak Regional Building Department. Whether your project needs one depends on the scope. We'll talk through it with you when we put together your estimate.

Home base · 80829
We're based in Manitou Springs, so for a lot of our neighbors the job site is just down the hill. Kitchens, bathrooms, decks, floors and the odd fix in between.
Our workManitou Springs sits right at the foot of Pikes Peak, and a lot of homes here are older and built on hillside lots. That means two things for a remodel. First, you often find surprises once the walls or floors are opened up. Second, outdoor projects like decks have to work with the slope.
We plan for both. If we find damage behind a wall or under a floor, we fix it right before we cover it back up.
Part of Manitou is a designated historic district. If your home is in it and the project changes the outside of the house, check with the City of Manitou Springs before work starts. We're happy to help you figure out what's needed.

Westside Colorado Springs
Old Colorado City and the west side are just down the road from our Manitou Springs base. The homes here have history, and they deserve a careful remodel.
Our workOld Colorado City was founded in 1859, before Colorado Springs existed, and the westside still has plenty of older homes. Remodeling an older house means respecting what's there while fixing what isn't: uneven floors, dated bathrooms, worn-out stairs and kitchens that were last updated decades ago.
Bathroom and kitchen remodels, new flooring and stair treads, railings, built-ins and finish carpentry. The work in our portfolio is the work we bring to westside homes.

Ute Pass · Teller County
Woodland Park is a straight shot up Ute Pass on Highway 24 from our Manitou Springs base. We bring the same crew and the same standards up the mountain.
Our workAt roughly 8,500 feet, Woodland Park homes take more snow, colder nights and stronger sun than the Springs. That shapes material choices, especially outside. Low-maintenance composite decking and solid railings are a smart fit up here.
We also handle kitchens, bathrooms, flooring and basement finishing for Woodland Park and Ute Pass homes. Ask about your project when you request an estimate.

Basements & Garage Conversions
An open garage with a concrete floor became a finished room with insulated walls, new windows, an exterior door and carpet tile. That's the kind of transformation we're talking about.
Our workWhat's included
Finishing a basement or converting a garage means doing it in order: framing, insulation, drywall, windows and doors, flooring, trim. We handle each phase, and you can see every step in the photos below.
We've also finished out a backyard shed into an office with plank flooring, painted walls and a tongue-and-groove pine ceiling with a skylight.

Before & after
Framed and insulated, then finished and ready to use.

Questions

Bathroom Remodeling
From a tired tub surround to a full gut-and-rebuild. One crew handles the demo, walls, tile, fixtures and trim, so your bathroom isn't out of commission longer than it has to be.
Our workWhat's included
Most of the bathrooms we take on start with the same problem: old tile, a dated tub or vanity, and walls that haven't seen insulation in decades. We strip it back, fix what we find, and build it up again with tile, fixtures and storage that fit how you use the room.
Because tile is a big part of nearly every bathroom, it matters who sets it. Mike has completed formal training in installing large-format porcelain panels and slabs, including the substrate prep underneath. That's the part you never see and the part that decides whether a shower lasts.
Tell us up front. We had a repeat customer whose remodel was the only shower in the house. We removed the old tile walls, insulated and drywalled, tiled the shower with a custom niche and shelves, set the vanity and toilet, built a custom shelf cabinet and trimmed it out, all in a week and a half. Every job is different, but we plan the schedule around how you live.

Before & after
Demo to finished: black vanity, LED mirror, glass shower.

Questions
It depends on the size of the room and how much is changing. As one real example, a full shower remodel for a repeat customer (tile walls out, new insulation and drywall, tiled shower, niche, vanity, toilet and trim) took a week and a half. We'll give you a timeline with your estimate.
Yes. Tile is done by our own crew, not subbed out. Mike has completed course training on installing gauged porcelain tile panels and slabs and on preparing the substrate underneath them.
Yes, just let us know when you reach out. We'll plan the order of work to keep the downtime as short as possible.

Decks & Fences
Outdoor space gets used hard here: sun, snow and big temperature swings. We build decks and fences meant to hold up to it, from multi-level composite decks with metal-baluster railings to tall wood privacy fences.
Our workWhat's included
Colorado's high-altitude sun is tough on decking, and freeze-thaw cycles are tough on everything else. That's a big reason many homeowners here choose composite boards, which don't need yearly staining and resist splitting. We build with composite or wood depending on your budget and how you want to maintain it.
We also tear out tired fences and put up new wood privacy fences, the kind that actually block the view from the alley.

Before & after
Old fence and overgrowth out, tall wood privacy fence in.

Questions
Composite costs more up front but doesn't need staining and holds up well to sun and moisture. Wood costs less initially but needs regular maintenance. We'll walk you through both for your project.
Yes. We remove old fences and build new wood privacy fences.
Reach out with photos of your deck and we'll let you know what makes sense.

Flooring Installation
Luxury vinyl plank through a whole main floor, solid hardwood in an open living space, laminate in a bedroom, new treads on the stairs. And when we pull up old flooring and find damage, we fix the subfloor before anything goes down.
Our workWhat's included
When old flooring comes up, it sometimes shows water damage or rot underneath. We've replaced damaged subfloor and joist sections down to the framing before installing new flooring. That way your new floor isn't going down over a problem.
Carpeted stairs are often the last thing left after new flooring goes in. We install new treads and painted risers so the stairs match the rest of the house.

Before & after
Carpet off, wood-look treads and white risers on.

Questions
Both are durable and affordable. Luxury vinyl plank handles moisture better, which makes it a good fit for kitchens, basements and bathrooms. Laminate is a solid choice for dry rooms like bedrooms.
Yes. We've cut out water-damaged subfloor and installed new sheathing before putting down new flooring.
Yes. We install new stair treads, risers and landings to match.

Kitchen Remodeling
We've turned dated oak kitchens into navy shaker kitchens with quartz islands, and built sage-green kitchens with butcher block and terracotta tile. Whatever your style, it's the same crew from first cabinet to last piece of trim.
Our workWhat's included
One of our recent kitchens went from honey-oak cabinets and tiled counters to navy shaker cabinets, a quartz island with seating, a matching pantry and a coffee bar, with new luxury vinyl plank running through the space. Another went the other direction: sage green cabinets, butcher block counters, a white farmhouse sink and a patterned tile backsplash over terracotta hex tile.
We're not tied to one style. We build what fits your house and the way you cook.
A kitchen remodel touches almost everything: cabinets, counters, backsplash, flooring, trim. We do all of it, which means fewer hand-offs and fewer surprises between trades.

Tile Installation
Hex, octagon, herringbone, subway, pebble accents, big marble-look porcelain. Tile is where a lot of our favorite work happens, and where careful prep makes the difference.
Our workWhat's included
Large porcelain panels and slabs give showers and walls a clean, nearly grout-free look. They're also heavy, thin and unforgiving to install. Mike has completed course training in both installing gauged porcelain tile panels and slabs and preparing the substrate underneath them.
We also set the detailed stuff: terracotta hex, black-and-white octagon, patterned cement-look floors, herringbone shower walls and pebble accent bands.
