Home Remodeling in Loveland, CO

Serving Loveland from Just Up the Road

GIMA Renovation is a Greeley-based home remodeling and restoration company — and Loveland is one of the cities we serve most. We're about a 25-minute drive from downtown Loveland to our shop, which means same-day damage response, fast site visits during the estimate phase, and a project manager who actually shows up on-site rather than calling in.

Loveland is in Larimer County, not Weld, which matters for permit jurisdiction — we work with the City of Loveland Building Division (500 E. 3rd St.) and Larimer County Planning depending on whether your property is inside city limits or unincorporated. We've been through the permit process often enough to know exactly what they look for and how long each round takes.

Loveland Neighborhoods We Cover

Loveland is a city of distinct neighborhoods, each with a different housing stock and a different typical project. We work across all of them:

• Mariana Butte (west Loveland). Golf-course homes near the foothills, generally newer construction with larger lots. Common projects: master suite additions, accessible bathroom remodels for residents aging in place (the neighborhood's median age skews older), and outdoor-living concrete and landscaping work that capitalizes on the foothill views.
• Centerra & The Lakes at Centerra (east Loveland). Master-planned community with most homes built 2000 or later. Common projects: basement finishing in newer homes that closed unfinished, kitchen and bath upgrades from builder-grade to custom, and home offices.
• Old Town / Downtown Loveland. Historic walkable neighborhood with pre-1950 homes. Common projects: kitchen remodels that maintain historic character, bathroom renovations in tight 1920s footprints, plaster wall repair, popcorn-ceiling removal, and refinishing of original hardwood under decades of carpet.
• Boyd Lake / Lake Loveland. Waterside neighborhoods with newer single-family homes and outdoor-recreation access. Common projects: outdoor kitchens and patios, sunroom additions to take advantage of lake views, and four-season-room conversions.
• Southwest Loveland. 1970s and 1980s ranches and split-levels — the housing stock most often updated. Common projects: open-concept kitchen conversions (removing the load-bearing wall between kitchen and living room), basement finishing, tub-to-shower conversions, popcorn-ceiling removal, and whole-home interior repaint.
• North Loveland / Madison Avenue corridor. Mid-century to 1980s housing, mixed character. Common projects: full kitchen and bath remodels, basement finishing, and damage restoration after water events.

What to Know About the City of Loveland Permit Process

Loveland's building department has a published plan-review estimate of 20 to 30 working days per round (roughly 4 to 6 weeks of calendar time). For a major remodel, addition, or basement finish that means the design and submittal phase usually adds about a month to the project calendar before construction can start.

Our standard approach for Loveland projects:

• Submit clean plans the first time. Engineer-stamped structural drawings where required, proper energy-code calcs, accurate site plan with setbacks. Most of our Loveland permits clear in the first review.
• Coordinate inspections directly. The City of Loveland inspects framing, electrical, plumbing, mechanical, and final. We schedule each one and meet the inspector on-site.
• Own the back-and-forth. If the reviewer flags anything, we respond, revise, and resubmit. You experience permits as a scheduled milestone, not as a problem.
• Confirm contractor licensing requirements. A valid City of Loveland Contractor's License is required for any structural, mechanical, electrical, or plumbing work in rental and multi-family buildings. We hold the licensing required for the work we propose.

Big Thompson Flood Exposure & Loveland Water Damage

Loveland sits at the mouth of the Big Thompson Canyon, and the city has real flood history — most notably the 1976 Big Thompson flood and the 2013 statewide flood event that pushed water into hundreds of Loveland properties. Less dramatically, Loveland homes deal with the same pipe-burst, ice-dam, dishwasher- hose, and basement-seepage water damage as every other city in Northern Colorado.

We answer the damage line 24/7 and typically reach Loveland properties the same day a call comes in. The work is the same whether it's a flood-zone basement or a 3 a.m. burst supply line: extract the water, dry the structure with commercial equipment, prevent mold, document everything for insurance, and rebuild — under one contract, with the same crew.
