Home Remodeling in Evans, CO

Serving Evans From Just Up the Road

GIMA Renovation is a Greeley-based home remodeling and restoration company — and Evans is our closest, most-served neighbor. About a 10-minute drive from our shop to downtown Evans, with most Evans calls reached on-site within 30 to 45 minutes. We work the entire city: newer subdivisions on the east and south sides (Tuscany, River Run, Hunters Reserve), the established central neighborhoods south of 37th Street, the older homes downtown, and the agricultural-edge properties along the South Platte and the city's rural fringe.

Evans sits in Weld County, just south of Greeley, with a population of about 22,775 and the most diverse demographic mix of any major NoCo city — roughly 47% White and 46% Hispanic, with a median household income of $75,563 and a median home value around $349,000. That makes Evans the most affordable home-remodeling market in Northern Colorado, and we've built our Evans estimates around that reality: honest cost tiers, written line-item scopes, and a no-pressure walkthrough.

The 2013 Flood: Why Damage-Restoration Capability Matters in Evans

Evans took the worst hit of any Northern Colorado city during the September 2013 floods. The South Platte and the Cache la Poudre converge near Evans, and when both rose at once, entire low-lying neighborhoods went underwater. By the numbers:

• $17 million in damage to City-owned property alone — including $2.5M to the wastewater treatment plant.
• 8 days of “no flush” sewer service after the wastewater plant went down. The City set up 200 portable toilets across affected neighborhoods.
• Riverside Park, 100 acres, mostly destroyed — only a small portion has been refurbished and reopened.
• Several Evans neighborhoods evacuated, with many homes taking direct floodwater into basements, main floors, and crawl spaces.

More than a decade later, some Evans homes are still being incrementally rebuilt, basement-waterproofed, or upgraded as owners continue addressing 2013 damage on their own timelines. We handle full-rebuild work on flood-affected properties— mitigation, structural drying, mold prevention, foundation and slab work, basement waterproofing, and finish reconstruction — under one contract.

The City of Evans Permit Process

Evans permits go through the City of Evans Building Division (970-475-1110) using the CitizenServe online portal. Typical Evans timeline:

• Minor permits (water heater swap, fixture replacement, simple re-roof) clear in days to one week.
• Plan-review permits (kitchen, bath, basement, additions) run 2 to 4 weeks per round. Most clean submittals clear in one round.
• Standard fees: $50 plan review for addition/remodel applications, $75 admin fee, plus permit fees based on project value.
• Payment heads-up: permits valued above $1,500 must be paid by check or e-check rather than credit card. We coordinate the payment so you don't hit that surprise.

We submit clean plans the first time, respond fast to any reviewer comments, and coordinate every inspection (rough, framing, electrical, plumbing, mechanical, final) through CitizenServe with the Evans Building Division directly.

Built for Evans Budgets: Honest Cost Tiers, No Surprises

Evans homeowners on average have smaller remodeling budgets than their Windsor or Fort Collins neighbors — not because the work costs less, but because most Evans households are doing it on a real budget rather than for resale prep. We've adapted our approach accordingly:

• Transparent line-item scopes. Every cabinet, counter, fixture, and labor line is itemized so you see exactly where the budget goes and where you can trim.
• Tier flexibility. Semi-custom cabinets instead of full custom. LVP instead of solid hardwood. Quartz mid-range instead of premium slab counters. Cabinet painting instead of full replacement. All real, durable options that keep total project cost in the $20k–$40k range for most Evans kitchens.
• Phased projects on request. If your budget supports a kitchen this year and a master bath next year, we'll plan the design so phase one doesn't paint phase two into a corner.
• No change-order ambushes. The written scope is the price. If something genuinely unexpected surfaces during demo (hidden water damage, illegal wiring, a rotted subfloor), we tell you immediately, document it, and quote the fix — never just pad the invoice at the end.
