Building in Durango

What Is Different About Building in Durango, CO?

Durango is in the mountains of southwest Colorado. That means heavy snow that sits on roofs and decks, hard ground freeze in winter, strong sun that breaks down paint and sealant, and summer storms that dump water fast on sloped lots. We plan for that before we pour, frame or dig, because the weather decides how a Durango job is built.

  • Summer storms that dump water fast on sloped lots

Carpentry and excavation together

Why a Durango Homeowner Might Call One Company for Both

Driveways, decks, additions and new homes in the Durango area all start with dirt. When the same company that builds also digs, one contractor owns the whole job. That is how Carpentry Plus Excavation works, and it is why the name has both words in it.
