Finding a remodeling contractor in Colorado Springs is easy. Finding one who actually shows up on time, manages the job from start to finish, and delivers what they promised is a different thing entirely. At J&B Specialty Trades, that’s the only version of this business we know how to run.
Founded by Brandon Karle, a Colorado native and former emergency services professional, J&B brings 25 years of combined industry experience to every project. Our senior project manager spent years overseeing casino construction for a multibillion-dollar company in Las Vegas before joining our team. That background shows up in how we plan, schedule, and manage every remodel we take on, from a single bathroom to a full home addition.
We serve homeowners across Colorado Springs, Monument, Woodland Park, Divide, and the broader El Paso and Teller County areas. If you’re ready to talk through a project, schedule a discovery call and we’ll start from there.
Kitchens are our most requested service, and for good reason. We’ve completed over 300 kitchen remodels since 2021, across home styles and budgets ranging from $10,000 targeted updates to $150,000 full transformations. Layout changes, cabinetry, countertops, lighting, plumbing, flooring — we coordinate all of it.
From hall baths to primary suite overhauls, we build bathrooms around how you actually use the space. Basic hall bathroom remodels typically run $25,000 to $35,000. Custom primary bathrooms with higher-end finishes and layout changes generally fall between $75,000 and $100,000.
Whether you need an extra bedroom, a home office addition, or a fully permitted accessory dwelling unit, we manage the full process through the Pikes Peak Regional Building Department and get the work done correctly.
Most homeowners who call us have been burned before, by a contractor who went quiet mid-project, by a budget that ballooned without warning, or by finish work that looked fine until it didn’t. We built our process to prevent exactly that.
Every project starts with a qualification call to make sure J&B is the right fit. If we are, we move into an in-home consultation and then a design and planning phase, where scope, materials, and budget are locked in before anyone picks up a tool. Construction doesn’t start until the plan is complete and every decision is documented.
During the build, our team manages trade coordination, scheduling, and quality control so you don’t have to. You have one point of contact and consistent updates throughout. When the project wraps, we walk through the finished space together and address anything that isn’t right before we close it out.
That’s not an unusual process. It’s just one most contractors skip. Read the full breakdown of our Colorado Springs remodeling process here.
BBB Accredited since March 2025, licensed and insured, and serving Southern Colorado from Woodland Park to Colorado Springs and beyond. We work exclusively on residential remodeling projects, which means our attention isn’t split across commercial work or new construction.
According to the National Association of the Remodeling Industry, homeowners who hire a professional remodeling contractor with a defined project management process report significantly higher satisfaction rates and fewer cost overruns than those who hire based on price alone. That tracks with what we see every day.
The homeowners who work with us aren’t looking for the cheapest option. They’re looking for a contractor who will treat their home with care, communicate clearly, and finish what they started.
We work with homeowners throughout:
We handle kitchen remodeling, bathroom remodeling, basement finishing, decks and patios, home additions, accessory dwelling units, and whole-home interior remodeling. All work is residential.
Yes. Permit requirements vary by project type and scope, but we handle the permitting process through the Pikes Peak Regional Building Department for projects that require it. It’s built into how we plan every job.
It depends on the scope. Kitchen remodels typically run 6 to 12 weeks from the start of construction. Bathroom remodels are often 3 to 6 weeks. Larger projects like additions or whole-home remodels take longer and are scoped individually.
