29 Agate Road  
Client:  Michael and Kathleen Burman
Architect: Darrick Wade, Architect
Location: Ruby Ranch, Silverthorne, Summit County, CO
Construction of this second custom home for the Burman family commenced July of 2004, with the completion projected for August of 2006.  This expansive timber frame home is situated on over five acres in the Ruby Ranch, a unique gated community in close proximity to Silverthorne.  A seasonal stream with a waterfall improvement will be part of the outdoor patio experience.  The exterior facade will be stone and plaster, accented with timbers.  Primarily one level for the convenience of the clients, this home has a finished living area of 4382 square feet, but will feel much larger.  The project represents Kodiak's most ambitious effort yet in terms of design, features, and finishes.  We thank the Burman Family for their continued support and confidence in Kodiak for this fantastic opportunity.  We are excited to have this custom home as our 2006 Summit County Parade of Homes entry.  Please contact us for a private view of this Ruby Ranch Masterpiece.

Client:  Andrew and Ronda Palazzari
Architect: Darrick Wade, Architect
Location: Willow Creek Highlands, Silverthorne, Summit County, CO
The construction of this second custom home for the Palazzari family commenced September 1, 2004.  The gradually up-sloping lot backs to National Forest, specifically the Eagle's Nest Wilderness Area.  With a living area of 3354 square feet, and a garage 648 square feet, this large home is being constructed for a comparably smaller budget than typical for the neighborhood.  Kodiak's preconstruction services provided during the design phase assured the clients of the budget, and as of January 1, 2005, the budget has been maintained to within 4 percent.

This exciting home features rough sawn Douglas Fir timber assemblies for exterior accents, rough-sawn cedar siding, in-floor radiant heat,  and cultured stone masonry.  Fine finishes include porcelain tile, knotty Alder doors and trim, Cherry and knotty Alder cabinetry, Hickory wood floors, Slate floors, oil-rubbed bronze fixtures and hardware, and Granite Slab countertops.  Other upgrades include Aprilaire whole house humidification, computer networking, and a monitored security system.

279 Snowshoe Circle
Client:  Rick and Monika Hartman
Designer:  Tim Seeling
Location:  Winterwood, Breckenridge, Summit County, CO
The main part of this home was originally constructed in 1975.  At 30 years old, the time had come for a full re-fit.  Situated on on excellent cul-de-sac property with grand views of the continental divide, this Breckenridge home is to become the weekend getaway for the Hartman family.  Kodiak stripped the structure bare and constructed a new, attached two car garage and master suite.  The main living area was opened to its full 26' x 28' by installing a new ridge beam.  Colored concrete patios and new decks were added.  New cedar siding and stone masonry were provided.  Fine finishes include porcelain tile, knotty Pine doors and trim, Hickory floors, Tuftex carpeting, and granite tile countertops. 

528 Silver Circle
Client:  Dan and Patty Winters
Location:  The Highlands of Breckenridge, Summit County, CO
The remolding project represents how a good builder can quickly update a custom home.  The primary work of the project consisted of a new great room fireplace, complete with a nineteen foot mantle, new masonry, and built-in bookshelves.  Other work included the completion of a bathroom, new paint for the interior and exterior of the 5000 square foot home, new carpeting, and new wood floors.  The client is a builder in Colorado Springs.  This builder to builder project is a great compliment to Kodiak Enterprises.

Client:  Phil and Maggie Palazzari
Architect:  Karen Smuland AIA, LLC
Location:  Hamilton Creek, Silverthorne, Summit County, CO
To spite a very steep site and many state-of-the-art systems, construction of this home was completed in a little more than seven months.  With a living area of nearly 3975 square feet, and a garage & woodworking shop of 775 square feet, this large home included the best of mountain elegance, technology, and convenience.  The quick schedule and fine finishes are largely due to the impeccable taste of our tireless clients; many thanks to you, Phil and Maggie. 

In addition to providing complete preconstruction services to the project, Kodiak also provided a unique solution to the steep lot during the design phase.  The garage was constructed on a steel-post-and beam structure, providing space for a large recreation room beneath it.

656 Hamilton Lane
Client: Brett and Morica Van Loan
Location: Northstar Village, Blue River, Summit County, CO
Photos of this hand crafted log home will appear on this website during the Summer of 2004, though the project was completed in late February.  Architecture was provided by Taron Design of Seattle, and log crafting was provided by Cascade Hand Crafted Log Homes of Chillawack, British Columbia.  The home is slated for entry into Log Home Living magazine.  The main level of this home measures 2652 square feet.  The 800 square foot wrap-around deck provides 30 mile down-valley views toward Breckenridge from an elevation of 11,280 feet.  A 1400 square foot unfinished basement accompanies an 820 square foot workshop and garage.  Some features of this home include moss rock exterior, radiant heat, beetle-kill pine wood floors, a hot tub adjacent to the master bedroom, and retrofitted antiques.

64 Indian Brush Trail
Client: Bill and Sandie Brown
Location: Hamilton Creek, Silverthorne, Summit County, CO
This newer home required an outdoor patio as a location for a hot tub.  Kodiak provided a flagstone walkway, including stairs, to a flagstone patio on the south side of the home.  Electrical service for the spa was routed from the opposite side of the home.  Kodiak also re-stained the siding, including the re-paint of chinking between the rough-sawn timber siding.

5365 Webster Street
Client: Dan Grossman and Robin Koenigsberg
Location: Montezuma, Summit County, CO
Remodel of this turn-of-the-century historic cabin was a great challenge for any builder.  The original log structure was retained, yet the chinking was replaced.  New windows and doors were added.  A 21st century kitchen was added with new appliances, cabinetry, and tile countertops .  A new foundation was added to the earlier kitchen addition, as the previous was simply supported on blocks.  A new floor structure was installed in the living area, as was new wiring throughout and a new electrical service.  Ceramic tile and new bathroom fixtures were added.  The original outhouse was dismantled and the barn wood was re-sawn and used for rustic trim.  Another outbuilding, the wood-burning sauna, received a new roof and roof structure.  The project became a livable mountain getaway at 10,400 feet.

481 Marmot Circle
Client: David R. Koons
Location: Willowbrook, Silverthorne, Summit County, CO
After seventeen years of general contracting experience, the time and opportunity had come for me to build my own home.  A Victorian design was coupled with modern attributes such as a large great room and expansive window walls taking advantage of the southern exposure.  The design also incorporated a two bedroom lock-off apartment to provide affordability.  The small 6000 square foot site presented a challenge for the 3262 square foot design that included four bedrooms, three bathrooms, two living areas, and a two car garage.  Setbacks were maximized, providing for a useful backyard, and storage for trailers and toys behind a fence along the side yard.  Construction commenced in June of 2002, and was completed in January of 2003.

2202 Lakeview Circle
Client: The Sandstrom Family
Location: Hamilton Creek, Silverthorne, Summit County, CO
Completed in the Spring of 2002, this remodeling project tailored this beautiful log home to the Sandstrom Family's needs. The third bay of a three car garage was converted to a bedroom and full bath addition. The laundry room was moved to make way for the bedroom entrance. The boiler flue was relocated to allow for silent, through the roof operation. Porcelain tile replaced ceramic throughout the home, and Kodiak orchestrated the entire project in a ten week time period.

146 Moonstone Road
Client: Wayne Goad and Lisa Leach
Location: Breckenridge, Summit County, CO
This small 1970's Bavarian Chalet enjoyed a complete remodel with additions on two wings.

A large new redwood deck wrapped around the other addition. This wing was two story, and included a sixteen by sixteen master bedroom on the lower level and a large extension of the living room on the main level. The interior and exterior trim details were carefully matched to preserve the architecture of this wonderful little house.

Acorn Creek
Client: ABC of the Summit
Position: Subcontractor
Location: Summit County, CO
A gas supply failure caused extensive damage to this passive solar home on a hillside north of Silverthorne. A second home, no one knew of the broken water line for months, and the water damage was extensive. Referred for our experience with glass, Kodiak replaced all of the Green Solex thermal panes in the storefront glass of the home, all of the sliding glass doors, and all of the exterior doors and windows. Due to poor soils, the home had settled and many of the panes were out-of-square patterns, requiring special expertise.

25 Indian Brush Trail
Client: Michael and Kathleen Burman
Location: Hamilton Creek, Silverthorne, Summit County, CO
Few things display more satisfaction than a repeat customer.  The Burmans requested a master bedroom addition to their home that Kodiak built in 1996, the first produced by Kodiak Enterprises Inc. acting alone. The 576 square foot addition was of matching log construction, with a large deck in front.  The master bathroom incorporated custom designed cabinetry and a steam shower.  The original construction was also updated, with the former master bedroom becoming an ante-room for the new master bedroom.  A loft was added for an additional sleeping area.  Tile was replaced.  Countertops were replaced with granite slab, and much, much more.  The remodel and addition transformed the Burman’s mountain getaway into a full time luxury residence.

Penthouse Suite Renovation
Position: Millwork Project Manager
Location: Aspen, Pitkin County, CO
Participating with a fine millwork crafting company, Kodiak joined a great team of craftsmen, and helped to coordinate the manufacturing of a complete walnut interior. The Project was the site of a $40 million renovation to a 150 year old three story brick building on the Aspen pedestrian mall.  The state of the art, classically designed penthouse suite included a stunning walnut millwork interior.  The custom kitchen cabinetry included a large bar and a separate island.  All crafted with Walnut, the bath vanities, laundry cabinetry, office cabinetry, media room cabinetry,  and closet organizers were of the highest possible quality.  Also provided to the project were arch top raised panel doors, raised panel window seats, extensive box beams, raised panel wainscoting, three-piece door and window casing, three-piece base molding, and Eikenboll carvings.  Every molding was a custom profile, and every room of this 4 bedroom penthouse was given the greatest attention to detail, down to the velvet lined drawers. Cabinetry was coordinated with equipment that included appliances, flat screen televisions, a home theater system, and 150 year old brick work!  Many thanks go out to all parties involved (clients, craftsmen, and designers) for an incredible experience.

Wellington Oro Mine
Client: Adrian Brown Environmental Engineers
Position: Subcontractor
Location: French Creek, Summit County, CO
Kodiak provided the foundation work for a 60 foot tall, 120 ton piece of equipment for the reclamation of this mine. Declared an EPA Superfund Site, the mine was leaking heavy metals into French Creek. Adrian Brown had the solution, and contracted the manufacture of the equipment that would do it. The silo was a mixing station that created a lime slurry and pumped it a mile up the hillside to fill the 12 level mine. The foundation required weeks of coordination work, but only one week to construct the eighteen by eighteen by five foot thick block of heavily reinforced concrete.

18881 Colorado Hwy 9 #32
Client: Gary, Martha and Samantha Lunsky
Location: Bill's Ranch, Frisco, Summit County, CO
The Lunsky's tiny original home was completely torn-down to make way for their new 3000 square foot residence. Cost was the driving factor in Gary's choice to purchase a manufactured home. Kodiak provided the utility work, excavation, full basement foundation, electrical and mechanical for the home, along with the remedial carpentry for decks, stairs, and the basement walls. Radiant heat was added by stapling tubing beneath the subfloor of the manufactured home, and installing a state of the art injector loop boiler system.

Client: Kramer E. Woodard, Designer
Location: Frisco, Summit County, CO
Construction of this very unique project began in June of 1998 and took a little over a year to complete, with vast changes and upgrades. This custom duplex in unconventional in most ways.

Materials and methods include block masonry basements, stone masonry veneer, exposed structural steel, corrugated metal siding, standing seam metal roofing, tilt/turn windows, wood floors, and radiant in-floor heating. The Architecture is modern with a mining theme, inspired by a nearby mining town long deserted (Masontown).
