Home Builders in Highlands Ranch, CO
Faros Construction Services builds and rebuilds homes throughout Highlands Ranch with a level of personal oversight most companies stopped offering years ago. Every project is supervised by Ricardo, who has spent more than 30 years on Front Range construction sites and still walks each job himself. You will not be handed off to a rotating cast of coordinators, and you will not learn about a problem after it has already cost you money.
We Treat Your Project Like Their Only Project
Custom Home Construction in Highlands Ranch
Most builders sell you on their portfolio. We would rather be judged on how we run a job. That means an owner who is physically present, crews we have worked with for years instead of whoever was available, job sites left clean at the end of every day, and answers that come the same day you ask the question. On a build that runs several months in a neighborhood where you already live, how a contractor operates matters as much as what they produce.
Our pricing works the same way. We quote after we understand the site, not before, and we build estimates from real numbers rather than vague allowances designed to look attractive early and grow later. When something changes mid project, and on custom work something always does, you hear about it immediately with the cost attached. Clients tell us the absence of surprises is the single thing they value most, and that is by design.
Because Highlands Ranch is almost entirely built out, most new home construction here takes one of a few forms: replacing an outdated house on a well located lot, adding a second story to gain space without leaving the neighborhood, expanding the main floor, or taking a 1980s or 1990s home down to the studs and rebuilding it as something current. We do all of this work, and we do it with the structural discipline of ground up construction. Foundations get evaluated before anything is added above them. Load paths get verified rather than assumed. Drainage gets corrected while the site is already open.
Craftsmanship You Can See and Structure You Can Trust
Our team self performs site and exterior work, which gives Highlands Ranch clients something valuable: one company accountable for the whole result. Grading, drainage, retaining, patios, and driveways are planned alongside the structure rather than handed to a separate contractor at the end. When one team owns both the house and the ground it sits on, water goes where it is supposed to go and nobody points fingers.
That combination of hands on ownership, long tenured crews, structural discipline, and complete site accountability is what our clients mean when they say the experience felt different. It is also why so much of our work in Douglas County arrives by referral.

Highlands Ranch Home Builders Reviews
What Clients Say About Building With Faros
The same themes come back again and again in our reviews: the schedule held, the site stayed clean, the crew was respectful of the home and the neighbors, and questions got direct answers instead of deflection.
Much of our Douglas County work comes from referrals, which is the measure we pay attention to most. A homeowner recommending a builder to a friend on their own street is putting their reputation behind that recommendation, and they only do it when the experience was worth repeating.
Our Highlands Ranch Home Building Services
- Custom Home Construction: Ground up custom homes on the rare available lots in and around Highlands Ranch. Design coordination, engineering, Douglas County permitting, HRCA approval, and construction managed through final walkthrough.
- Scrape and Rebuild: Replace an aging home on a location you already love. We manage demolition, utility coordination, new foundation work, and a design that fits the character of your street and passes architectural review.
- Second Story and Main Floor Additions: Gain the square footage you need without moving. We verify existing foundation capacity and load paths before design, so the addition is built on something that can genuinely carry it.
- Whole Home Renovations: Take a 1980s or 1990s Highlands Ranch home down to the studs and rebuild it current. Updated layouts, modern systems, improved insulation and air sealing, and finishes selected to last.
- Accessory Dwelling Units: Detached and attached units for family, guests, or rental use. We confirm current Douglas County requirements and community association rules before design begins, so the plan is actually buildable.
- Exterior and Outdoor Living: Patios, retaining walls, driveways, drainage, and outdoor gathering spaces built by the same team that builds the house, keeping water management and structure coordinated.
Our Process
How We Run Your Project
Consultation & Site Assessment
Ricardo meets you at the property, listens to what you actually want, and evaluates what the site will support: existing structure, soils, grade, drainage, utilities, setbacks, and applicable association requirements.
Design & Proposal
Plans and structural engineering are developed together, then priced in detail. You see scope, materials, and real costs before you commit to anything.
Permitting & Preparation
We prepare and manage the Douglas County submittal and the Highlands Ranch Community Association architectural review, then respond to comments so the project keeps moving.
Construction
Foundation, framing, systems, envelope, inspections, and finishes, executed by crews we know. You get one point of contact, a current schedule, and updates as milestones complete.
Walkthrough and Handover
We walk the finished work with you, complete the punch list properly rather than partially, and hand over warranty documentation with guidance on maintaining the home at altitude.
