Custom Home at the Enclave in Eerie, Colorado

This fully custom home in Erie, Colorado is nestled along the Colorado National Golf Course. The homeowners wanted to build their forever home – a refuge where they could age in place gracefully. We were excited when they chose us to help make their unique dream into a reality.

These homeowners love to cook, so much so that they made a Korean BBQ feast for the Krueger crew while they were working on the home. Our team enjoyed a fantastic meal while they created a custom, chef-sized kitchen in this home with professional grade Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances. The kitchen was designed specifically around making Kimchi, creating a simple flow to accommodate something the homeowner prepares regularly. The kitchen also includes refrigerator and freezer drawers that look like cabinets.

Our relationship with the homeowners began when they decided to sell their previous home and started looking for a new piece of land. They wanted a one stop shop who could handle the entire project from start to finish with flexibility to handle a couple things outside of the main project. For example, we coordinated with an external solar contractor the homeowners chose separately. They were also curious about the details of the build and we were happy to answer their questions. This is part of how we kept them and their custom home at the forefront of our work.

The two homeowners have different aesthetic styles and sometimes looked to us to find or implement an unusual solution to a design question. One such example was the staircase handrail that needed to be creative and have clean lines.

The exterior of this house matches its unique interior. We used an exotic Cumaru hardwood siding paired with multi-tone stucco and stucco reglets. They never have to shovel their walk because the driveway is heated, which is a huge plus in Colorado. We also installed a backup generator, so their house will continue to function as normal if the power ever goes out.

With every new project, we know there will be things we never could have planned for. It’s our job to navigate those surprises and ensure the homeowners and their home remain the top priority. In this case, that meant collaborating with the homeowners to figure out a new solution when the first fireplace installation didn’t fit the couple’s aesthetic vision and taking quick action when the chosen bathroom tiles unintentionally created an undesirable symbol. We allow homeowners to make changes up until the very end so they will always look forward to coming home.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

"We were fortunate to have our home built by Built by Krueger. Everyone on the Krueger team was amazing to work with. Any concerns we had were addressed in a timely manner. The attention to detail was obvious throughout the build process and the final product is exactly what we wanted."

"Our experience with Krueger was amazing from the initial meetings to the final touches. Everything was thought of and done at the highest level. The construction team was great led by Nelson. They were on top of every detail, even the ones we didn't notice. I would have them do our next project no problem."

"The Kruegers did an incredibly high quality and quick job on our house! All of the contractors were super friendly and fun to have around. They went above and beyond to make sure everything was done right and fixed up nicely. I have recommended them to many of our neighbors already. I would choose them again in a heart beat!"

"We selected By Krueger after interviewing several builders in Boulder County. We chose Brian and Matt because of their experience, knowledge and quality. We toured one of the homes they were finishing up and were impressed. Brian made several suggestions (e.g., heightening the kitchen ceiling) as we got into the project which made big improvements to the final product. We thoroughly enjoyed working with them and recommend them without hesitation! Brian collaborated seemlessly with the design team (Allana Lavenue Interiors and Kay Fields Architect). We are SO happy with the house, incredible job guys!"

"Short version: We had a great experience with the Krueger team. They did a great job of staying in communication throughout the project and helped guide us through the whole process, answering our questions. We were very happy with the process and the results. We would highly recommend and certainly use them again."

"Major remodel of my mid-century modern Boulder ranch house. Added a garage and a second story. Preserved the mid-century modern feel in a fully upgraded, energy-efficient eco home. The Kruegers were great to work with, meticulous, collaborative, finished on time, transparent regarding costs and any other issues that came up during the project. I would use them again without hesitation."
