Kitchen Remodeling Contractor Serving Denver Metro
The best kitchen remodels start with how the family actually cooks and eats — where the prep zone lives, where two cooks pass each other, how groceries come in from the garage, where the coffee happens on a Tuesday morning — and only then work backward to cabinetry, counters and appliances. Abricos LLC works kitchens as a coordinated project rather than a series of purchases. Layout choices are made against a load-path review of any wall that might come out; appliance selections are locked before cabinets are ordered because a 36-inch range and a 30-inch range are two different kitchens; ventilation, gas and electrical are sized against the actual specification sheets; and finishes are sequenced so drywall, tile, cabinets and stone all meet with clean joints instead of caulk-and-paint patches.
What's included
- —Layout changes including load-bearing wall removal with structural engineer coordination
- —Cabinetry across every tier: stock, semi-custom, custom and fully bespoke millwork
- —Countertops, backsplashes, plumbing and cabinet-hardware fixture packages
- —Appliance rough-in and installation coordinated to manufacturer specs (gas, electric, water, venting)
- —Range hood and make-up-air ventilation designed against actual CFM and duct runs
- —Lighting design coordination — ambient, task, accent — with licensed electricians
- —Flooring, trim and finish carpentry so transitions to adjacent rooms are intentional
Planning considerations
- —Structural review of any wall that could be load-bearing before layout is finalized
- —Appliance selection first — sizes, gas vs. induction and venting drive the cabinetry order
- —Range-hood strategy: direct-vent vs. re-circulating, exterior wall vs. roof termination
- —Water and gas rerouting reviewed with the licensed plumbing contractor before demo
- —Long-lead items (cabinets, stone, panel-ready appliances) ordered before demolition begins
Site-specific decisions
Kitchens are indoor rooms, so climate is secondary — but Colorado's dry winter air and altitude both affect two decisions in a kitchen: cooking with gas requires attention to make-up air when a high-CFM range hood runs in a tight home, and altitude affects some baking-appliance selection. We work those decisions with the homeowner and, where required, with a mechanical designer.
Jurisdictional requirements
Kitchen scope determines permit path. Cabinet-and-counter refreshes with no plumbing, electrical or structural work often do not require a permit; almost anything beyond that does. Denver, Littleton, Centennial, Lakewood, Highlands Ranch and the surrounding jurisdictions review differently and take different amounts of time — plans and load calculations are what most kitchens actually get held up on, not inspection scheduling.
Our process for this work
Site visit → use-review and layout options → appliance and cabinetry selection → structural, electrical and plumbing coordination → permit → demolition and dust protection → rough-in and inspection → drywall and tile → cabinet install → stone template and set → appliance install → final inspection and walkthrough.
A completed Denver kitchen
If it helps to see how this scope comes together on a real house rather than a spec sheet, our verified Denver kitchen remodeling project documents the confirmed details of a 2025 kitchen completed in Denver — layout, cabinetry, countertops and the construction coordination behind them.

Common questions
Yes, in almost every case. We set up a temporary kitchen with a fridge, microwave, sink where possible and countertop space in a nearby room, and we hang dust barriers at the room boundary before demolition begins. Utility outages for water, gas and electrical are scheduled a day or two ahead so the household can plan around them.
