Can't say enough about the experience we had with Empirical Construction and their amazing team. Josh was incredibly responsive and quoted us fairly and quickly on our kitchen remodel and communicated our timeline throughout the process.
What puts Empirical over the top was working with Chuck as our project manager. Chuck communicated any decisions and changes throughout the process and continually listened to our desires for the remodel. We really appreciated his tact and suggestions when we hit any snags in the planning process and we couldn't be happier with how the project turned out.

Overall I would recommend Empirical Construction. They finished our basement and we are happy with the results. Chuck was the project manager and I thought he did a good job. What we liked most about Chuck and Josh were the ideas they had - including angled walls to make the room more interesting, paint colors, etc. Chuck was also very open to feedback and shared ideas on how to improve the experience for future customers (e.g. better price breakdown for initial quotes).

All I can say is WOW! My wife and I have had many remodeling projects in 3 homes over the last 15 years; Empirical Construction towers above any and all help we've ever hired. Not only was the finished project (we had a complete kitchen remodel, including the removal of a load bearing wall) immaculate, but the entire project from start to finish went smoother than we could have ever expected. We are so happy and so grateful that we choose Josh and his amazing project manager, Chuck, to work with us. On top of impeccable quality work, the price quote was the best of several quotes we received AND

I'm glad I looked at Yelp for reviews, because this is how we found Empirical Construction. We talked to a few other contractors but stopped after we met with Josh at our consult.

We started our construction at the beginning of the Coronavirus, which turned into the stay home orders. Josh & his team asked us what we were comfortable with, and respected our decisions. We were having our basement finished - and all the workers used the 'emergency' exit to go in & out - we never encountered anyone in the weeks it took to complete.

The estimate was spot on, time and money

We had Empirical Construction renovate our kitchen and living area. We are thrilled with the results! All of the contractors working on this project were professional and courteous. Empirical Construction kept to the original schedule in light of some structural setbacks. We highly recommend Empirical Construction and will use them for any future projects.

We hired Empirical to finish our basement over the summer and they did a fantastic job! I interviewed several contractors and Josh was the most professional that I spoke with. He came prepared with lots of information and documentation at our initial meeting. He was very quick to respond and he had an idea for the layout that no one else had… thought of.
Once things got rolling our project manager was Chuck and I can't speak highly enough of him. He and his team were very professional and everything was completed to our expectations and in some cases beyond. Chuck did a great job of always

I shopped around for a quote on a kitchen and master bathroom remodel. I picked Josh because of his responsiveness and I liked that his quote included architectural drawings so I could envision what we discussed. He spent the most time on a quote for a project he was not guaranteed to win, so that's what drew me in. He was also super nice and patient so that helped too :).
I'll be honest- the process started off a little bit rocky and we had a roller coaster ride throughout the project but none of it was a major problem or anything. Most were minor things due to simple miscommunication. I believe

Empirical did an AMAZING job remodeling my kitchen. The work was done quick and timely--when your kitchen is out of orders, you notice every day, but Empirical turned a complete gut job around in no time. Very professional and will be my go to with my next project!

Empirical Construction did an amazing job with our kitchen remodel which was a major endeavor. Walls were removed, new framing put up, popcorn ceiling scraped, floors refinished, cabinets and counter tops were installed. Our main floor was completely transformed. The end result was exactly what we wanted and the project came in on budget even though we had a number of change requests.

Chuck did a fantastic job managing our project and ensured that we were thrilled with the end result. He made several key suggestions which we were extremely grateful we took. They were the difference between a

We called Josh at Empirical Construction after a horrible experience with a different contracting company left our 1905 Victorian home in disarray. We decided to take over the job ourselves, however needed some expert opinion to help guide us through permitting and building. Josh jumped right into our job without hesitation. This is saying a lot given the state of our home at the time! Josh was willing to write up a consulting contract for us and we called him when we had questions that were holding up our job. He came over and did walk-throughs with us (often on the same day we called for help

We are beyond thrilled with the work empirical construction did on our recent kitchen remodel!
From what was once clammy, dark and outdated has now been transformed into an open, bright and beautiful space. Remodels can be frustratingly long but we were very pleased with the attention to detail Chuck paid every step of the way and how he didn't rush to compromise quality. We couldn't be happier with how it all turned out and would definitely work with Empirical construction again

Save yourself some time. Not responding to phone, email, yelp messages. Most likely out of business. Tried for around a week and a half on multiple channels with zero response.

This was our first large-scale home improvement project and we love the results. We did a full basement remodel and it looks awesome! Josh was great to work with, responsive, on budget, and even finished the project early! He was trustworthy and honest which was very important to us. Josh is also very knowledgeable about Denver city codes and permitting and handled the entire process seamlessly. When we found a leak in our foundation, he went above and beyond to find someone to remedy the situation while continuing to push the project forward. I would definitely recommend Josh and Empirical.

We would absolutely work with Josh again. Don't let his laid back attitude fool you; he is very responsive to texts and emails, knows the business, and knows his subs. He came in on-budget and was accommodating to our requests. Josh tends to under-promise and over-deliver - so don't be afraid to ask for what you want. Josh respects what is written in the contract and lets you know when things will need a change order. We also appreciated his flexibility when drawing up the contract (upgrades, add-ins, specialty finishes) which made him stand out from other contractors, who tend to offer

We had the best experience with Empirical Construction! We first worked with Josh and his team to repair a plumbing issue under our kitchen sink. We were so pleased with the service we received, we asked Josh to complete a remodel project to free up space in our house. We were amazed with the quick turnaround and greatly appreciated the attention to the budget. You will not be disappointed working with Empirical Construction.

Honest, trustworthy and hardworking General Contractor

We have had a wonderful experience with Josh from Empirical Construction over the past 6 months of our very large "gut job" construction project of our home. He was physically at our house every day and oversaw every last detail of the job. His quality standards are high and he is very detail oriented which we appreciated. We have a historic home and wished to maximize form and function for our family while also maintaining historic charm and character. Josh was helpful in this process and helped us find solutions, such as a hardwood

Project: Kitchen Remodel in 1910 Wash Park Home

Some friends recommended Josh and his company after a bathroom remodel they had just completed and were very happy with his work.

We called him to see what he could do for a wholesale kitchen makeover (demo, new hardwood floors, removing walls, removing chimney, new cabinets, new counter tops, new HVAC, new plumbing, et.) AND we needed to have the project completed within 8 weeks in the middle of the summer. Josh and his team came through without a hitch on deadline and without change orders (that weren't a part of his original bid).

We found Josh through an internet search for a first floor and loft remodel in our recently purchased 1900 home. Josh was a great contractor from start to finish, always honest and upfront. He was always responsive whenever we had any questions (and we had lots of them as this was our first remodel as newly weds).

Not to mention, his team of workers were always clean, courteous, on time, and very friendly! One of them even offered to watch our 3 month old puppy while we were both at work one day! The insight that Josh and his crew brings to a remodel like this (especially one in a house

My wife and I recently hired Josh to do a remodel on our outdated basement. They reconfigured some walls which really opened it up. We also had them put in an egress window in a basement bedroom so that it meets our zoning requirements for living space. The new lighting and floors looks excellent! It is so much bigger and brighter and has pretty much transformed our house and the way we can use the space.

I shopped around for pricing before the remodel and these guys gave us a solid detailed quote. They showed up everyday, quickly responded to phone calls and texts and made good progress throughout
