Building in Greeley
Greeley is the Weld County seat and home to the University of Northern Colorado. Its older neighborhoods near downtown and the university sit alongside a growing west side of newer homes.
For us that means kitchen and bath remodels in older homes, basement finishes on the west side, and concrete, garages, and shops in town and on acreage.
Weld County is one of the largest and fastest-growing counties in the state, and much of it is rural, so projects range from in-town homes to shops and garages on agricultural land well outside city limits.

What building in Greeley takes
- Wide-open plains mean higher wind exposure, which affects siding, doors, and fences.
- Rural Weld County properties often have agricultural or accessory building rules that differ from in-town lots.
- Expansive soils and freeze-thaw cycles make base preparation and drainage important on driveways, patios, and slabs.
