- Luxury Custom Home Builder Serving South Denver Metro
Littleton, Colorado was homesteaded along the South Platte River in the 1860s, and its foundations still show it. Nineteenth-century stone buildings stand a few blocks from mid-century ranches, which stand a few blocks from homes built ten years ago. Increasingly, they stand a few blocks from new construction too, as established lots turn over for ground-up builds. Custom home building in Littleton means designing a house that reads like it’s belonged on the block for decades, not one that announces itself as new. Jackson Design Build has spent decades planning for sites like this: mature trees, tight setbacks, and foundations older than any survey on file. The city doesn’t build in one era. Neither do we.
Homes near the South Platte River corridor, Lee Gulch, and the Highline Canal sit above a water table that shifts with spring runoff and summer storms. Clay-heavy soil holds that moisture instead of draining it, building hydrostatic pressure against basement walls in older, lower-lying Littleton neighborhoods. Â
This is why full home remodels make sense for so many Littleton homeowners, a way to keep the address you love and rebuild what’s beneath and around it. We coordinate drainage and structural planning before a remodel or addition begins, not after a wet spring proves the point. It’s what makes a hundred-year-old foundation in Littleton worth building on for another hundred.
Littleton’s historic district and its infill lots come with design review, easements, and lot lines drawn before modern setback code existed. Our design-build model puts architecture and construction planning at the same table from the discovery meeting forward. A Scope of Work accounts for Littleton’s zoning and site constraints before a Design Proposal is ever signed. Nothing about your remodel should surprise you at permitting. Large residential projects carry too many connected decisions for disconnected teams. Jackson Design Build aligns design, estimating, permitting, trade coordination, and construction from the beginning.Â
Beyond full remodels, we build home additions that add square footage without losing an established Littleton block’s character, take on commercial remodel work along Littleton’s Main Street corridor, and handle general contracting and garage conversions when they’re part of a larger renovation.Â
Every project runs on cost-plus, open-book billing through Buildertrend, so you see what’s spent and what we earn, line by line. Every build also carries a 2-10 warranty, with follow-up visits at one month, six months, and one year. Our involvement in Littleton doesn’t end at move-in.Â
We know how to respect an existing structure without being limited by it. We know when a detail should disappear into the original architecture and when a new idea deserves to lead.Â
Show us the Littleton home you have. Tell us how you want to live. Together, we will shape the space between them.
Craftsmanship that speaks for itself, trusted by homeowners and businesses alike.
