Building in Olympus Cove

Olympus Cove remodel contractor

Tucked against Mount Olympus on the valley's east bench, Olympus Cove pairs mid-century bones with some of the best views in Salt Lake. We remodel, rebuild, and build new here, whether that means transforming a mid-century home, scraping a tired one and building fresh, or building ground-up on one of the Cove's remaining lots to capture the light and the mountains.

Olympus Cove climbs the east bench right against Mount Olympus, a pocket of winding streets and mostly mid-century homes with some of the best views in the valley. The lots slope, the outlook is the whole draw, and many of the original houses were built long before anyone designed around the light or the mountain. That gap between the setting and the finish is exactly what draws owners to remodel and rebuild here.

Our work here runs the full range: remodeling what is worth keeping, scraping a home and building new in its place, and building ground-up on the Cove's remaining lots. As a four-time Parade of Homes winner with cabinetry built in our own shop, Citizen Millworks, we bring the structural skill a sloped lot needs and the craft the interiors deserve. One accountable team runs the whole job, and you know the full cost before we break ground.

What We Build in Olympus Cove

Building in Olympus Cove

Building in Olympus Cove is a bench-lot job first. Slopes mean serious foundations, retaining, and drainage, and the view means the design has to work in three dimensions, not just a floor plan. Many homes still carry mid-century systems and materials that need full replacement. Access on narrow, winding streets takes planning during construction. We handle the engineering, site work, and interiors as one team, orient the home around the mountain, and lock the full cost before the first cut.

How We Help

Common Questions About Building in Olympus Cove

Can you remodel my Olympus Cove home to take advantage of the views?

That is usually the whole reason to remodel here. We reorient living spaces toward Mount Olympus and the valley, open up walls for light and glass, and rework layouts that were never planned around the outlook. The result keeps the home comfortable and livable while finally putting the setting front and center.

Do you have experience building on the steep lots in the Cove?

Yes. Sloped bench lots are standard ground for us. We bring the structural engineering, foundations, retaining, and drainage under one roof, so the hillside is handled as part of the plan rather than a problem discovered mid-build. That control is what keeps a difficult site from turning into a difficult project.

What does a remodel or rebuild in Olympus Cove cost?

The slope, the scope, and the finish level set the number, so we price your specific home instead of guessing. Bench-lot work carries real engineering, and we account for it upfront. You get a fixed cost before we break ground, no surprise change orders after, and one team accountable for the budget from first plan to last detail.
