Holladay, Utah
Your Neighborhood Is Worth Staying In.
Whole-home renovations, kitchen remodels, and additions for Holladay's east-bench homes — where mature trees, mountain views, and walkable village access make the location irreplaceable.
The homes are dated. The lots are not.
Holladay's east-bench neighborhoods — from Cottonwood Lane to Mt. Olympus Cove — sit on some of the most desirable residential land along the Wasatch Front. Half-acre and larger lots with mature landscaping, unobstructed mountain views, and 10-minute access to Big and Little Cottonwood Canyons.
But many of these homes were built between 1965 and 1995. Floor plans are compartmentalized. Kitchens are undersized. Mechanical systems are aging. The bones are often excellent — the living experience is not.
A thoughtful renovation can transform a dated Holladay home into something that matches the quality of the lot it sits on — without giving up the neighborhood, the schools, or the trees you've spent decades growing.
What Makes Holladay Projects Different
Established Neighborhood Constraints
Setback requirements on older plats, non-conforming lot coverage from previous additions, and neighbor sight-line considerations all affect what's possible. We research these before design begins.
Holladay City Permitting
Holladay incorporated in 1999 and has its own building department. Plan review runs 2-3 weeks for most residential remodels. The 50% rule applies — renovations exceeding 50% of assessed value may trigger full code compliance.
Aging Infrastructure
Many east-bench homes have original plumbing (galvanized or polybutylene), outdated electrical panels, and single-pane windows. A serious renovation needs to address systems — not just surfaces.
Remodel vs. Rebuild Decision
When structural modifications, foundation work, and system replacements stack up, sometimes a teardown-and-rebuild makes more financial sense. We help you evaluate both paths with real numbers — not assumptions.
What We Do in Holladay
Whole-Home Renovation
Gut renovations that reimagine the floor plan while preserving what works — often the foundation, framing, and roofline.
Kitchen Remodels
Opening walls, relocating plumbing, upgrading mechanical — the kind of kitchen work that transforms how a home functions.
Additions & Expansions
Second-story additions, primary suite expansions, and garage conversions that add square footage without changing your address.
Basement Finishing
Walkout basements, in-law suites, and entertainment spaces in Holladay's characteristically deep foundations.
Custom Infill Homes
Teardown-and-rebuild on existing lots where renovation no longer makes financial sense.
Preconstruction Planning
Scope definition, budget clarity, and design coordination before construction begins — regardless of project type.
