Home Builders in Westminster, CO
Faros Construction Services builds custom homes and major renovations in Westminster with a planning process most contractors skip entirely. Before we break ground, we have already worked through the structure, the site, the selections, and the schedule with you in detail. That front end work is why our projects finish closer to the number and the date we gave you at the start.
Ricardo has been building along the Front Range for more than 30 years and personally oversees every job. Westminster home construction runs through two counties, a city building division, and a municipal water utility, and we manage all of that coordination for you. What you experience is one team, one plan, and a builder who does what he said he would do.
Planned Thoroughly, Then Built Once
Custom Home Construction in Westminster, CO
Most budget overruns and schedule failures are planning failures that surfaced later. A detail nobody resolved on paper becomes a decision made hastily in the field, and field decisions are expensive. We invest heavily in preconstruction for exactly that reason. Structural approach, site and drainage strategy, mechanical layout, material selections, and the build sequence all get worked out before demolition or excavation begins, so the crew arrives with a complete plan rather than a rough idea.
Design and construction stay under one roof, which removes the most common source of friction on a custom project. When the design team and the builder are separate companies, gaps between the drawings and reality become an argument, and homeowners get caught in the middle paying for it. With us, the people drawing the plan and the people building it answer to the same person. Constructability problems get solved at the desk instead of discovered at the framing stage.
Change orders are handled with the same discipline. Nothing proceeds without your written approval and a price attached. We do not perform work and bill for it afterward, and we do not let a running tab accumulate quietly until final invoice. If an existing condition forces a change, and on renovations it sometimes does, you get the explanation, the options, and the number before anyone picks up a tool.
Our Expert Touch
We invite prospective clients to visit an active job site before hiring us. Not a finished showpiece staged for photographs, but a project in progress, mid framing or mid finish, where you can see how our crews actually work. You can look at how the site is organized, how materials are stored, how clean the space is, and whether the framing looks like something you would want under your own drywall. Very few contractors will make that offer. It is the fastest way to know what you would be buying.
Behind the visible work, our standards do not move. Framing square and correctly fastened, an envelope that performs through Front Range winters, mechanical systems installed with future service access in mind, and foundations engineered from the geotechnical report rather than a default detail. Because we self perform site work, grading and drainage are designed with the structure, which matters on Westminster lots where getting water away from a foundation takes intention rather than luck.

Westminster Home Builders Reviews
What Clients Say About Building With Faros
The praise we receive most often is about predictability. Clients say the project unfolded roughly the way we described it at the beginning, which is unremarkable in most industries and unfortunately rare in this one.
Homeowners who lived in the house during construction tend to comment on the daily experience: work areas kept contained, dust managed, the house returned to a usable state each evening, and crews who were respectful of a family going about its normal routine.
Our Westminster Home Building Services
- Custom Home Construction: Ground up custom homes planned in detail before construction begins. Design, engineering, City of Westminster permitting, and construction managed through final walkthrough by one accountable team.
- Whole Home Renovations: Westminster has strong housing stock from the 1960s through the 1990s on well sized lots. We take those homes back to the studs and rebuild them with current layouts, modern systems, and a properly sealed envelope.
- Home Additions: Second story and main floor additions for families who want more space without leaving the neighborhood. Foundation capacity and load paths are verified before design, not assumed during framing.
- Scrape and Rebuild: Replace a dated house on a location worth keeping. Demolition, utility coordination, new engineered foundation, and a design that suits the street and the lot.
- Foundations and Site Work: Excavation, engineered foundations, perimeter drainage, and grading designed from your soils report. Getting this phase right determines how the home performs for the next several decades.
- Exterior and Outdoor Living: Patios, driveways, retaining walls, and drainage systems delivered by the same team that builds the house, keeping structure and water management coordinated.
Our Process
How We Run Your Project
Consultation & Site Assessment
Ricardo meets you at the property, understands the goal, and evaluates what the site supports: existing structure, soils, drainage, utilities, setbacks, and which jurisdiction and water district govern the parcel.
Preconstruction Planning
This is where we spend the time other builders skip. Structural approach, drainage strategy, mechanical layout, material selections, and build sequence are all resolved before construction, then priced in a detailed proposal you can actually read.
Permitting & Preparation
We prepare and manage the City of Westminster submittal, respond to plan review comments, and clear HOA requirements where they apply.
Construction
Foundation, framing, systems, envelope, inspections, and finishes. You get one point of contact, a current schedule, and written change orders for anything that deviates from plan.
Complete Handover and Ongoing Support
We walk the completed work with you, close the punch list properly, and provide warranty documentation along with maintenance guidance for a dry climate at altitude.
