December 2, 2025 • Home Remodeling
DG Home Pro is based in Lafayette. We pull permits weekly and know the inspectors. Here is what Lafayette homeowners need to know about remodeling in 2026.
Lafayette, Colorado is DG Home Pro's home. Our office is here, our principals live here, and more than any other city in Boulder County, Lafayette is the community we have served the longest and most deeply. Over 21 years and hundreds of projects in Waneka Lake, Centaur Village, Willowbrook, Coal Creek Village, and the neighborhoods along South Boulder Road and US 287, we have built a local knowledge base no outside contractor can replicate.
Lafayette's Housing Stock: What Remodelers Encounter
Lafayette grew substantially in the 1980s through early 2000s, putting the majority of its housing stock at 25 to 45 years old. These homes are at the ideal age for renovation: original systems are aging and due for updates, 1990s layouts often do not reflect how families live today, and original finishes are dated relative to current standards.
Lafayette homes on the west side of town, particularly those in the Coal Creek corridor and adjacent to the open space network, were built on expansive soils. This affects foundation performance and can manifest as basement moisture conditions or minor foundation movement. D&G performs a moisture and soil assessment on every Lafayette basement project before design begins, specifically because of this local characteristic. It is something a contractor based 30 miles away may not know to look for.
