Salt Lake City
Remodeling & Additions
Keep what makes the home distinctive. Change what holds it back. Ashen Construction plans substantial Salt Lake City remodels and additions around the realities of an existing house and the way you want to live in it.
Discuss Your Renovation
Local approach
Existing character. A more useful home.
A Salt Lake City renovation can involve much more than replacing finishes. Room proportions, stairs, earlier alterations, and the relationship to the street or yard all influence the right approach. Whether you are considering an older house or an east-bench property, begin with an assessment of the specific home rather than a predetermined floor plan.
Remodeling
Thoughtful renovations in Salt Lake City.
A whole-home or main-floor renovation can open up daily living while retaining the details that give the house its identity. Ashen coordinates the design, structural questions, systems work, and finish construction. In an older home, investigating visible conditions and documenting assumptions helps distinguish known work from items that may only become clear during construction.
Whole-home renovations, substantial kitchens, and basement remodels are our focus.
- Whole-home and main-floor remodeling
- Kitchen and living-space reconfiguration
- Rear and primary-suite additions
- Existing-structure and systems coordination
Select additions
More space, thoughtfully connected.
A rear addition, expanded kitchen, or new primary suite needs to work within the property and connect naturally to existing rooms. Access, usable yard space, roof transitions, and the amount of remodeling at the tie-in all affect the scope. A successful plan considers the full home rather than pricing only the added square footage.

A clearer scope. A stronger beginning.
Confirm the property’s jurisdiction and any historic designation early. Salt Lake City distinguishes local historic districts from national-only designations; the review path depends on the property and proposed work. Nearby Holladay, Millcreek, and Cottonwood Heights are separate communities, so their projects need their own local review. We begin with the address, goals, available plans, and investment range.
Salt Lake City’s guidance on historic designations and review
See How We Plan Your ProjectCommon questions
Planning your Salt Lake City project.
Does every older Salt Lake City home require historic review?+
Age alone does not establish the review path. Check whether the property is locally designated or lies in a local historic district, and review the proposed work with the relevant planning office. National-only designation is different from local designation.
How should we budget for hidden conditions?+
Document what is known, investigate where practical, and identify the assumptions behind the estimate. Discuss contingency and how changes will be reviewed before construction begins. Existing conditions can affect both scope and schedule.
Do you consider nearby Salt Lake Valley projects?+
Yes. Share your address and project scope for homes in Holladay, Millcreek, Cottonwood Heights, and nearby communities. The property’s actual jurisdiction guides local review and project planning.
