Project Overview

This Main Street office remodel in the heart of Longmont transformed the 1315 square foot space into a more functional, stylish, and inviting environment. One of the standout additions was a brand-new kitchenette, designed for both convenience and aesthetics. It featured a freestanding drainboard sink, a sleek granite countertop, and a butcher block bar-top finished with durable epoxy for a polished, long-lasting surface. To maximize efficiency, we also installed an inset refrigerator/freezer, seamlessly integrating it into the layout. To create a more open and connected feel, we incorporated glazing into all office demising walls, allowing natural light to flow throughout the space while maintaining privacy. New carpet along with new doors and upgraded hardware, gave the office a refined, modern touch. Beyond the interior upgrades, we extended the transformation to the outdoor space by adding a wooden deck with a dedicated seating area, perfect for breaks or informal meetings. The deck is enclosed with sleek metal fencing and enhanced with flower boxes.

Project Overview

This 4500 square foot commercial remodel of a guitar retail and warehouse space created a visually striking and highly functional environment tailored for both retail and media production. The project began with extensive demolition first with a remodel following turning the perimeter offices into dedicated media rooms for video and photography, as well as specialized guitar demonstration rooms, incorporating wall and ceiling improvements for optimal sound attenuation.To protect the guitars and ensure long-term preservation, we installed a state-of-the-art "Smart Fox" humidification system. Lighting played a crucial role in defining the space, with the warehouse receiving high-bay fixtures for maximum visibility, while the showroom was enhanced with decorative chandeliers and track lighting to create a warm, inviting atmosphere. Additionally, with the removal of the ceiling exposing the structure, we completely reconfigured and replaced the fire alarm and sprinkler systems to ensure compliance and safety. Finishing touches included slat walls with a custom logo for an eye-catching display area, new luxury vinyl tile (LVT) flooring, fresh paint, crown molding, and privacy film on exterior glazing for a sleek and polished look.

Special features included authentic barnwood finishes, a roll-up garage door, and private tasting lounges. Beyond the tasting room, the facility was designed with efficiency in mind. A spacious storage area housed essential dry goods like glass bottles, dustless grain, and sugar, while the heart of the operation—the processing room—accommodated the still and other key distillery equipment. Adjacent to this space, we built a break room, an upstairs mezzanine office, and a dedicated barrel storage room for wood casks of aging spirits.

Village at the Peaks Shopping Center - Longmont, CO

Project Overview

LSE Builders Group is currently partnering on a range of ongoing capital improvements at the Village at the Peaks Shopping Center in collaboration with NewMark Merrill property management. This multi-phase project focuses on enhancing both the functionality and aesthetics of the center. We’ve been tackling essential repairs like restoring concrete curbs and sidewalks to ensure safe, smooth pedestrian pathways for shoppers.

We’ve also carried out comprehensive masonry repairs to maintain the structural integrity and appearance of the building, while freshening up the exterior with paint to protect surfaces from wear and environmental exposure. Finally, we’re addressing crucial plumbing and drainage repairs to maintain proper system functionality and avoid future issues. These improvements are designed to keep the shopping center running smoothly and looking great for both current tenants like Whole Foods, Regal Theatre, and Verizon, as well as future visitors.
