I have spent a considerable amount of time thinking about how to best review our home renovation…read morethat Factor partnered with us on. This project has been a journey to say the least. Together we spent over a year spread across design, demo, and renovation and this was no small project, encompassing the entire first floor of our house including: full kitchen renovation, moving structural walls, designing a new floor above our lofted family room, and adding a full covered patio. Knowing the size and complexity of the project we interviewed over 10 firms across Denver and it was clear that Factor had the skills, knowledge, and institutional structure to complete this project. At the end of it all I can confidently say that I would never consider anyone other than Josh, Kent, and Factor to work with in the future. Factor far exceeded all the expectations that we had going into this project. Josh worked with us to lead the design, and we went through multiple iterations of the layout before deciding on the final plans. At no point was there pressure from the Factor team to make a final decision that didn't feel right. I never knew there were so many ways to orient a kitchen, but I am certain Factor presented every last one to us, ensuring that we had the best layout possible. Adding onto the complexity of the renovation we moved a structural wall, took out a wall and added a large glass slider that transitioned into a new covered patio. Factor designed everything to seamlessly flow from one space to another and a great deal of thought was put into how to best optimize the space. Following the design the construction phase of the project was incredibly seamless. Was it painless, no... no construction is painless, but Factor never missed a beat even when faced with unknown obstacles. They quickly solved problems with excellent solutions that were time and cost effective. Ultimately, they took our vision and translated it into a spectacular home. The quality of the project was the most impressive part. Josh and Kent refused to compromise on quality. Every aspect of the renovation was closely overseen, and any small imperfection was addressed. It was comforting to know that it was not dependent on us to oversee quality and that the entire Factor team was focused on this. We are most thankful for our onsite manager Jody who had unparalleled communication and was an advocate for ensuring that nothing was overlooked. We were impressed with his integrity, level headedness, and ingenuity to find solutions to day to day speed bumps. Looking back, I cannot speak highly enough about the entire Factor team. My wife and I both work demanding jobs and we knew that we would not have time to closely oversee a project. It was comforting to have an entire team committed to ensuring the project was perfect. I had and continue to have complete confidence that Josh and Kent operate at a level above other design and build companies. They hold themselves and their staff to a standard that I have not experienced in the construction industry. I also know that anyone who has the opportunity to work with them will not be disappointed. I hope that you choose to move forward with Josh and Kent and they can connect you with us if you need further recommendations. I've included before and after photos so you can see the transition Factor created.

Beyond horrible experience from start to "finish" on a multi-million dollar project in Boulder. We…read morehave built multiple very high-end homes over the years and this company was a next level nightmare to work with and their final work product was embarrassing. They have no pride in their work quality and they can't keep their employees long-term. Their project managers and owners couldn't care less about quality control, its all about the money. We had 5 project managers over the course of our 15 month whole house remodel, as well as numerous designers and numerous site managers. When no one is staying at the company, no one cares about the quality of their work and "craftsmanship" isn't even on the table. Most of their subs are clearly the "cheapest option", with a few exceptions. On all of our previous home builds, we became friends with many of the subs and it made the project feel special... with Factor, you will get strictly reprimanded for even speaking with their subs... very unusual, but it makes sense after the fact. All of the subs and employees are very nervous and it is clear that the owners manage through fear. In fact, we demanded that one of their owners not step foot on our property after a particularly aggressive interaction near the end of the project. After "substantial completion" the issues and problems with their work were seemingly endless and it quickly became clear that Factor simply couldn't handle it. Their work quality is embarrassingly bad. Feel free to reach out and I can share hundreds of pictures. We ended up having to hire another high-end Boulder contractor, at a very significant cost, after "substantial completion" to finish the job correctly, as Factor is incapable of producing the level of true quality and craftsmanship expected in a high-end build. Anyone can select expensive materials... it is the installation and fine finish work that sets the best apart from the rest. If you have been around high quality construction and finish work, you will be massively disappointed with Factor's final product. Many of the issues we have run into you wouldn't even find in low end tract home construction, much less high-end luxury construction. Don't get fooled by their beautiful social media posts and slick sales job... Ask yourself, why does this company need to advertise so aggressively, when all the top luxury contractors in Boulder have a waitlist based purely on referrals and word of mouth? Shortly after we signed the construction contract and made our first payment, it quickly became evident that we made an epic mistake working with Factor. The best part of our entire project was the huge relief we felt after parting ways with Factor and, hopefully, never seeing them again. We would not let these charlatans on our property ever again. FYI, it's hard to find bad reviews online because Factor blocks pissed off clients and scrubs their social media incessantly. All of our negative comments and reviews on Facebook, Instagram and Houzz have been blocked or erased. If you ask around town a bit, you'll quickly find that our experience is not unique. Update August 2026: To repair all of the poor workmanship in our home, we engaged a high-end contractor in Boulder to finish the job right. Factor refused to complete their punchlist to our satisfaction and they frankly lacked the skillset to work at that level. After inspecting Factor's work with true high-end contractors, the scope of work was massive. Between the work that needed to be completed by the new contractor and a few specialty groups, we have spent over $160k fixing Factor's substandard work. Drywall, flooring, doors, trim, windows, plumbing, roofing, HVAC, electrical, paint, cabinetry, tile, etc. The depth of Factor's incompetence was truly profound. We spent well over $2.5m with Factor, for a high-end whole home remodel that went to the studs... they are charlatans at best. On bright side, the new contractor, and their subs, were a true delight to work with, professional, and their final work product was ultra-high quality!
