Elite Builders of Colorado

Hiring Josh Hector of Elite Builders of Colorado to do our major home renovation was one of the best decisions my husband and I have ever made. Our remodel included the entire first floor, most of the second floor, and parts of the basement as well. Josh’s unfailing professionalism, his attention to detail, and his ethics were invaluable to us. Josh holds his work to the highest standards. He never settles for less than the finest results from himself or from his sub-contractors. We couldn’t be happier with his work nor could we be more grateful for the constant energy he personally gave to our project. I think the most important quality Josh brought to our project was trust. We felt like Josh was our ally and on our side during the project. He always showed us when the sub-contractors found challenges with the pre-existing structure of our aging house. So that we could be partners in the decisions that we made, he shared with us problems that I’m certain most contractors would have swept under the rug. Josh’s personal ethics were always on the jobsite! His integrity is a rare treasure! He is a role model for others in how he conducts himself. Josh was respectful of the financial investment we were making in our home. He was articulate and organized in presenting the expenses. We always knew where we were financially in the project. There were no surprises. He kept us all on the same financial page every step of the way. We really appreciated his clear communication on budget matters. We felt like he fought for us behind the scenes. He is smart and had a keen sense of the business side of our project. We trusted him when he told us to invest a little more or to hold tight where we were. Josh is an effective leader. He managed his sub-contractors with respect and good humor—but he was always the boss. He insisted that everyone who entered our home treat it like a home and not a work site, and the sub-contractors seemed to seek his approval. There was not one evening when he left our home without sweeping and making sure it was in the best condition it could be. One day a sub-contractor lit a cigarette on our sidewalk. Josh had run out to scold him before I even smelled the smoke. Josh also understands all of the different crafts that go into a comprehensive remodel. He has the construction talent to jump in and help with any phase of the rebuild, and his work is impeccable. He has a good awareness of how all the different pieces of the puzzle fit together. Every single time we brought up a question, he had already thought it through. Josh is extremely creative in building houses. His sense of proportion is elegant. Many times he stared at seemingly impossible problems and then came up with ingenious solutions. When we discovered that our dryer had been venting for decades in an unsafe tangle well under our family room floor, Josh devised a completely innovative way to vent it through an inconspicuous soffit. He solved a years’ old mystery of why a leak had been appearing in our ceiling. He turned an ugly, dated window seat into a beautifully detailed backdoor. Josh doesn’t advertise to be a design expert, but no one helped me more with design decisions than him. He has a great vision and excellent taste. He was the brainchild behind so many of our best choices. Josh presented us with a timetable on the first day. We never fell behind. We finished on the exact day of the plan! When we hit glitches that could have slowed up our project, Josh was on the phone immediately re-scheduling and juggling things to keep us on track. There were days when he came on Sundays to make sure we didn’t fall behind. I hadn’t anticipated how disruptive a remodel can be. I honestly don’t think I could have done this without Josh Hector as an advisor, leader, advocate, and expert. I’ve never seen someone take so much pride and ownership in a project. I have learned from him ways to improve the customer service I give my clients in my own business. Josh is someone my husband and I admire and respect. He drove up everyday in his big white pick up truck, and we knew we were in good hands as Josh shouldered all the responsibility for creating our new home.
