About the Company

A craftsman's signature — on every detail.

We are dedicated to providing the highest level of customer service and satisfaction. Our goal is to make your vision a reality.

We specialize in a wide range of commercial and home services — exterior and interior construction, remodeling, painting, drywall and drywall finishing, roofing, masonry, landscaping, and handyman work. One company, one point of contact, one set of standards.

For more than fifteen years, we've been the quiet name behind some of the Front Range's most carefully renovated homes — kitchens that earn their place at the heart of the house, exteriors that weather a hundred winters, finishes that read intentional from across the room. Serving Colorado Springs and the surrounding area for fifteen years. Trust us with your project. You won't be disappointed.

Our approach is simple: small, accountable crews; honest scopes of work; materials we'd put in our own homes; and a single point of contact from first walkthrough to final walk-out.

Featured Service

Colorado Springs handyman — the whole to-do list, one visit.

Skilled handyman services across Colorado Springs — drywall repair, TV mounting, doors and locks, trim carpentry, fixture installs, caulking, fence repair, and the punch list you've been meaning to knock out. Same craftsman standard we bring to a full remodel.

One craftsman, one visit, one clean truck. No box-store dispatch, no revolving-door subcontractors, no two-hour minimum for a 10-minute job. Morgan or a lead craftsman handles every visit personally, with the same drop-cloths, the same clean-up, and the same "leave it better than we found it" standard as a full-scale remodel.

Bundle the whole list and save. Most Colorado Springs handyman services charge you a truck-charge every trip. We work in half-day and full-day blocks — you pay for the time, not the trips — and knock out 5–15 items in a single stop. Fixed-price estimates before we start; materials itemized on the invoice.

Handyman visits across Briargate, Black Forest, Cordera, Flying Horse, Stetson Hills, Monument, Falcon, and every neighborhood in between. Same craftsman standard, same clean-up, same transparent invoice — every visit.

Our Method

Four steps. One signature.

Every Chess Remodels project follows the same disciplined framework — designed to keep your project predictable, accountable and quietly excellent from the first phone call to the final handoff.

01

Consultation

We meet on site, listen carefully, and walk the project together. No pressure, no upselling — just a clear-eyed conversation about what you want and what's possible.

02

Plan & Scope

We translate your vision into an itemized scope, transparent budget and a realistic timeline — so there are zero surprises before we lift a hammer.

03

Build

Materials sourced, crew assigned, schedule honored. You get one project lead, daily site updates, and a job site you'd be proud to show your neighbors.

04

Handoff

Final walkthrough, punch-list closed, site spotless. Then we follow up — because the work isn't finished until you're truly happy with it.

What's Included

Twelve commitments, written into every contract.

These aren't marketing promises — they're the line items every Chess Remodels client gets in writing before we ever lift a hammer. Compare them to anyone else in town.

01

Itemized Written Contract

Every line of scope, every material, every cost — committed to paper before the project begins.

02

Single Point of Contact

Morgan Chess or your dedicated project lead — one phone, one email, one accountable person.

03

Daily Site Updates

Photos and a short text every day work happens on your home. No mystery, no radio silence.

04

Certificate of Insurance

General liability and workers' comp documentation delivered before crews step on site.

05

Lien Waivers

Signed waivers from every subcontractor and supplier — your title stays clean, guaranteed.

06

Locked Pricing

The number you sign is the number you pay. Change orders only when you request them, in writing.

07

Honored Schedule

We commit to a finish date and we tell you immediately if anything threatens it — not at the end.

08

Premium Materials

Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore, James Hardie, GAF, Andersen — only the brands we'd put in our own homes.

09

Manufacturer Warranties

We register every eligible warranty in your name — roofing, siding, windows — and hand you the paperwork.

10

Workmanship Warranty

2-year workmanship guarantee on interior work, 5-year on exteriors. In writing. Honored without argument.

11

Clean Job Site

Drop cloths down, hardware bagged, dust controlled, site swept at the end of every day.

12

100% Satisfaction Promise

The final payment is yours to release. If something on the punch list isn't right, neither are we.

Real Colorado Springs homes, real scope, real outcomes. The kind of stories our clients tell their neighbors.

Hickory kitchen remodel by Chess Remodels
Kitchen Remodel · Briargate

A 1980s galley reborn as the heart of the home.

Walls came down, an island went in, custom shaker cabinetry replaced the original oak, and a quartz waterfall counter tied it all together. New lighting, new flooring, and a built-in pantry that finally fits the family.

6 weeksTimeline
Full GutScope
On-budgetDelivery
Custom bathroom remodel with walk-in shower
Primary Bath · Stetson Hills

From cramped 1990s bath to spa-like retreat.

We took down the tub-shower combo wall, ran a curbless walk-in with linear drain, set heated tile, and built a floating double-vanity with integrated lighting. The whole project ran 18 days from demo to handoff.

Custom stained deck built by Chess Remodels
Outdoor Living · Black Forest

A 600-sq-ft cedar deck built for Colorado.

Helical-pier foundation through the rocky soil, premium cedar decking, hidden fasteners, integrated step lighting, and a gas line stubbed for the firepit. Engineered to take a hundred winters of snow load without budging.

Common Questions

What homeowners ask before signing.

How long does a typical Chess Remodels project take?

Single rooms typically wrap in 2–4 weeks. Full kitchens average 6–8 weeks, primary bath remodels 3–4 weeks, and whole-home renovations 3–6 months depending on scope. We commit to a finish date in writing — and we tell you immediately if anything threatens it.

Do you handle permits and HOA approvals?

Yes. We pull all required El Paso County and City of Colorado Springs permits on your behalf, manage inspections, and handle HOA color/design submissions for exterior work. The paperwork is part of the contract.

What's your payment structure?

Standard milestones: a deposit at contract signing (typically 10–20%), draws tied to verifiable construction milestones (rough-in complete, drywall complete, final), and the final payment released only after you walk the punch list and sign off. We never ask for cash, never ask for the full balance up front, and never go silent between draws.

What if I want to change something mid-project?

Change orders are normal — but they're always written, priced, and signed before we execute. No surprise line items, no "while we were in there" upcharges. You see the cost and timeline impact before authorizing any change.

Do you offer financing?

We don't originate financing in-house, but we partner with several local Colorado Springs lenders who offer home-improvement loans and HELOCs at competitive rates. We're happy to make an introduction when you ask.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes — Chess Remodels LLC is fully licensed, carries general liability and workers' compensation, and we deliver a current Certificate of Insurance before crews step on your property. Documents available on request, included in every contract package.

Will you take on small projects too?

Absolutely. We run a dedicated handyman service for smaller jobs — single-day repairs, punch lists, fixture installs, and the kind of work most general contractors won't bother with.
