Building in Windsor
Windsor straddles the Weld and Larimer county line between Loveland, Fort Collins, and Greeley. It has been one of the fastest-growing towns in the region, with large master-planned neighborhoods spreading out from the original town.
A newer housing stock means many homes with unfinished basements, builder-grade finishes ready for an upgrade, and backyards waiting for a deck or patio cover.
The town also has an older core around Main Street and Windsor Lake, where homes are older and remodels involve more updating behind the walls.

Windsor remodeling questions
Will my HOA need to approve a deck in Windsor?
Most Windsor neighborhoods require HOA approval for decks, patio covers, and fences. We provide the drawings and material details the review committee asks for.
How long does a basement finish take?
It depends on size and scope, especially whether it includes a bathroom or bar. We give you a schedule with the written scope and price, and permits and inspections are built into it.
Do you fix builder punch list items in new Windsor homes?
Yes. We work through punch lists and warranty items for homeowners, and we take warranty work for builders too.
Does it matter which county my Windsor home is in?
Not for permits inside town limits, which the Town of Windsor issues. It can matter for properties outside town, which go through Weld or Larimer County.
