From a Single CapEx Scope to a Full Renovation Program
Forefront Renovations delivers apartment renovations, capital improvements and tenant improvements across Colorado’s Front Range. We handle everything from site walks and scope development through construction and closeout, with specialized trade teams and working project managers who keep schedule, budget and quality aligned with ownership’s business plan.
How a Forefront Project Runs
Site Walk & ROM
We walk the property and give you a rough order of magnitude early, often before you close or during the design phase. You’ll know what fits your budget before you pay for designs you can’t build.
Design Support & Value Engineering
We work alongside your designer from the start, pricing selections as they’re made and suggesting alternatives that keep the look while protecting the budget.
Detailed Bid
Line-item pricing, SKU-level specs and side-by-side options, like like-for-like vs. full renovation for units or phased vs. single-mobilization for capital work.
Mock-Up & Approval
For unit programs, we renovate a test unit first so you approve the finish level before the program rolls. For capital projects, you sign off on finishes and samples before work begins.
Phased Construction
Units move in rounds sized to your vacancy and lease-up schedule. Clubhouses, amenities and exteriors are sequenced to keep leasing open and resident disruption low.
Live Reporting
Every project has a shared Google Drive folder with progress photos, scopes, change orders and invoices, so you can check status anytime.
Turn-Key Apartment Renovations
We manage unit renovations from scope development through project closeout, with clear steps, value-engineered material selections, and tight scheduling to keep your property on budget and on time. Our renovation crews work as a single team across all trades, closing gaps between scopes and preventing incomplete work. Repeat programs are the core of our business, including 18 renovation rounds at one Denver community and 20 at another.
Full Renovations
Modifications & Upgrades
Partial Renovations
Top-to-bottom unit renovations including drywall, paint, cabinets, countertops, flooring, lighting and electrical, tile, and hardware.
From layout changes and adding in-unit washer/dryers to upgrading plumbing, HVAC, and electrical systems, we tailor improvements to your asset strategy.
Need just a refresh? We can update select elements—like paint, flooring, fixtures, and finishes—to modernize units without a full gut.
Capital Improvements
We specialize in capital projects that protect asset value and help a property compete: clubhouse and leasing office repositioning, amenity upgrades and exterior work that addresses deferred maintenance or gives new ownership a fresh brand.
Clubhouse Modernization
Amenity Space Upgrades
Exterior Improvements
Complete modernization of clubhouses and leasing offices, from light refreshes such as new paint and fixtures to full layout reconfigurations, custom millwork, and multi-phase overhauls that transform how residents and staff use the space.
Strategic enhancements to outdoor and shared spaces that elevate everyday living—upgrading amenities, landscaping, and gathering areas to create more usable, attractive, and pet-friendly environments for residents.
Exterior work that tackles aging elements and deferred maintenance before minor issues become major problems—or rejuvenating key features to give new owners a way to rebrand and refresh the property with updated exteriors that bring new life to the asset.
Acquisition & Due Diligence Support
Underwriting a deal? We’ll walk the property with your team during due diligence, sample units and common areas, and deliver a ROM you can plug straight into your renovation budget. You’ll have real numbers before you close and before you pay for designs that won’t fit your business plan. When the deal closes, the scope is already done and the program can start right away.

Due Diligence Walks
We walk the property alongside your acquisitions team, sampling unit types, common areas and exteriors to flag deferred maintenance and renovation opportunities before you commit.
ROMs & Renovation Budgets
A rough order of magnitude priced per unit and per capital item, with options from light refresh to full renovation, so you can underwrite the scope that hits your rent targets.
Day-One Program Start
Because the scope is built during diligence, your renovation program can start right after closing. There’s no delay for bidding, and the team that priced it is the team that builds it.
Tenant Improvements
We deliver strategic interior build-outs that transform special-purpose buildings, retail, office, and warehouses to fit each tenant’s business—ranging from cosmetic upgrades to more complex layout changes, systems upgrades, and change-of-use work.
Commercial Build-Outs
Taking spaces from core-and-shell to fully realized workplaces—working with designers to customize layouts, finishes, and systems around how the business actually operates so the space feels branded, functional, and ready on day one.
Change of Use
Change-of-use renovations that reconfigure interiors, building systems, and finishes so existing spaces can support new tenants, new codes, and new ways of doing business.
Interior Refreshes
Updating dated finishes, lighting, and details in foyers, restrooms, corridors and meeting rooms to bring older interiors into a more modern era—without a full gut—so spaces feel cleaner, brighter, and more inviting.
Accessibility Compliance
Restroom and common area modifications that ensure full ADA regulatory compliance.
