A Cherry Knolls Main Floor Remodel in Centennial, CO

When we opened up the kitchen in this Cherry Knolls ranch, the rest of the main floor came with it. The dining room, living room, entry, and mudroom all got the same design-build treatment so the whole level reads as one connected space.

The dining area anchors off the kitchen with white-oak cabinetry and a herringbone tile feature wall, glass-front uppers, and a globe chandelier over the table. In the living room we built a floor-to-ceiling media wall with open shelving and cabinetry, framed by plantation shutters and a new ceiling fan.

A tucked-away built-in desk gives the family a home office nook without sacrificing a bedroom. At the back entry, a custom mudroom with a bench, cubbies, and coat hooks handles the everyday clutter that used to pile up by the door.

Same footprint, but the main floor now flows from the front door through the living room, kitchen, and dining area without a single wall in the way.

Questions About This Project

Can you remodel the whole main floor, not just the kitchen?

Yes. This project took in the dining room, living room, entry, and mudroom alongside the kitchen. Doing the level all at once keeps flooring, trim, and finishes consistent throughout.

Can you add a home office without losing a bedroom?

Often, yes. Here we built a desk nook into existing main-floor space. We look for underused corners, wall runs, and closets that can become functional work areas.

Who issues remodeling permits in Centennial?

Permits are issued by the City of Centennial Building Division (Arapahoe County). We pull and manage all permits and inspections for your project.

"From initial interview through design, demolition, construction, installation, through to final cleanup, Jeff and his crew were professional, competent, honest and flexible. Jeff's commitment to quality work and customer satisfaction goes beyond lip service and is put into practice that's reflected in the completed project. Thank you CPR."

Randall K.

"Jeff is the best! He did a full remodel on our upstairs bathroom and it looks beautiful. From the initial estimate to the end of the project he and his team were professional and easy to work with. Jeff is so honest, ethical, and true to his word. His pricing is very fair, he’s meticulous about the work and truly cares about quality. He was easy to reach at any time and always responsive. His crew totally gutted our bathroom and did a total renovation. We’re 100% happy with the result. We even worked with his designer (no extra fee) who helped us choose various things, like tile, faucets, etc. She was so helpful, and like Jeff, always available/responsive to us."

Susan M.

"Jeff and his team did an outstanding job on our bathroom remodel. Mike worked long hours to get it done on the tight deadline we had because of guests arriving. The work turned out to be more extensive than planned because of unforeseen water damage, and everyone took this is stride and made sure the project was still done right–and on time! Jeff was considerate of our budget and guided me to make good decisions on materials, taking labor costs into account as well. Their designer, Mary Sue, was so professional & friendly and right on top of every decision that needed to be made. 100% recommend Smither the Fixer. What a great experience!"

Andrea L.

"Jeff and his team did a fantastic job finishing our basement! They were communicative and easy to work with throughout the entire process. We are thrilled with the end result and will definitely call Jeff for future projects!"

"I have used Smither the Fixer on a number of occasions. Jeff and his team are professional, they have skills in a number of area, and they always complete the job on time, and within budget. Jeff guarantees his work to be done as expected, he comes back and checks on the job, gives his team direction and ensures quality work. On top of that he and his team are good people who care about the customer and the work that they are performing."
