A recent build
Full-home remodel after a burst pipe
Denver metro
- Trigger
- Burst waterline → insurance claim
- Structure
- Bearing wall out, flush beam in
- Master bath
- Curbless wet room, tub-in-shower
- Result
- Sold at a profit at resale
- Insurance-claim restoration folded into a full remodel design
- Kitchen remodel opening to the dining space
- Living/dining bearing wall removed — flush beam, no soffit
- Master bath expanded into a curbless wet room — shower and soaking tub in one glass enclosure
- Second full bath remodeled
- New flooring throughout the home
A burst waterline flooded the home while the owners were away, triggering an insurance claim for floors and drywall. Rather than a like-for-like patch, the claim was folded into a full remodel — kitchen, two baths, a bearing wall removed for an open living/dining plan, a curbless wet-room master bath, and new floors throughout. The owners invested beyond the claim, and the home sold at a profit a few years later.
