McSwain Builders exceeded my expectations, really! They were professional, honest, and clearly take pride in their work. The finished project looks fantastic, and the whole team was a pleasure to work with. I’d highly recommend them to anyone considering a remodel or new build.

As one of McSwain’s subcontractors, we truly appreciate working with their team. They’re consistently professional, proactive, and solution-oriented, with clear communication and organized schedules that keep projects moving. Coordination is smooth, job sites are safe and clean, and change orders are handled transparently—an excellent partner we’re proud to recommend.

McSwain Builders did a great job building our custom home. Our project manager was professional, very responsive and guided us through the process, including helping make selections easy for us. The whole team went out of their way to make sure our vision of our new home became a reality and make sure we were happy with all aspects of the build.

Working with McSwain Builders has been an exceptional experience from start to finish. Their team combines impeccable craftsmanship with a deep understanding of Aspen’s unique building environment. From the initial consultation to the final walk-through, every step was handled with transparency, professionalism, and an eye for detail. They brought our vision to life while staying on schedule and within budget—something that’s rare in custom homebuilding. Communication was always clear, and any questions we had were answered quickly and thoroughly. The quality of materials and finishes exceeded our expectations, and the final result is nothing short of stunning. If you’re looking for a builder in Aspen who truly cares about quality, design, and client satisfaction, McSwain Builders should be at the top of your list. We couldn’t be happier with our new home!

McSwain Builders take care of their clients. They keep projects moving forward, make the right decisions along the way and get the project done beautifully. I have worked with them as an architect on small remodels to new state-of-the-art homes and they can do it all. Great working with their unbelievable team.

We recently undertook a major renovation with McSwain Builders of Glenwood Springs. Frank McSwain and his team stepped in and took over the work when another designer could not execute the project we envisioned. Over the course of the next months the McSwain team did outstanding work to renovate our kitchen, master bath, stairway and fireplace. They were able to rapidly communicate any concerns or issues that the on-site team experienced during the renovation and help coordinate selections and decisions by bringing in professionals and experts in the various areas (tile, plumbing, etc.) Through phone calls, text messages, or video conferences they were able to highlight any issues they were experiencing and then provide us options to move forward. We particularly would like to call out Jorge, Raul, and his team for their attention to detail and their willingness to rapidly resolve issues and make recommendations to help us all get this done. Their hard work and dedication was greatly appreciated! We highly recommend McSwain Builders!

Renovations can be challenging, especially when managing them from another city. McSwain alleviated a lot of the stress and averted crises by handling every aspect of our project for us. The end result is exactly what we envisioned. Everyone who worked on our project was professional and reliable and delivered high-quality craftsmanship. Description of Work: Significant remodel on a two bd/2ba condo built in 1974. Full kitchen and bath remodels, fireplace renovation and replacement, electrical and plumbing work, and wood floor installation throughout.

IS YOUR PROJECT NO LONGER GOING THE WAY IT SHOULD?

A construction project can become frustrating when progress stalls, communication becomes difficult, or the results no longer match what you expected.

  • Your project is falling behind schedule
  • Communication with your contractor has become difficult
  • You are unsure what work has actually been completed
  • Costs are becoming harder to understand
  • The quality of work is not meeting expectations
  • You are concerned about unfinished or incomplete work
  • You are no longer confident in your contractor
  • You need a transparent path forward.

Can You Change Contractors During an Active Project?

Yes. Changing contractors during an active project can be complicated, but it does not mean your project has to start over. The right transition plan can help you understand where things stand and what needs to happen next.

The goal is to create a transparent path from where your project is today to where it needs to go.

HOW THE TRANSITION WORKS

  • Review the current state of your project
  • Identify unfinished or outstanding work
  • Review available project information and documentation
  • Establish what needs to happen next
  • Build a practical transition plan
  • Move forward with greater confidence

YOU’VE ALREADY INVESTED IN THIS PROJECT

You have already invested time, money, and energy into getting your project this far. A contractor change does not erase that investment.

Before making your next decision, it is important to understand the current condition of the project, what remains to be done, and how your money is being spent.

Make your next move with a plan, not more uncertainty.

GET A CONTRACTOR TRANSITION PLAN BUILT AROUND YOUR SITUATION

Every project is different. Your transition plan should reflect the work already completed, the challenges you are facing, and what needs to happen next.

Together, you can review:

  • Review your current project situation
  • Identify the work that remains
  • Understand your available options
  • Organize the information needed for a transition
  • Establish practical next steps
  • Create a path toward completing your project

We Review Your Situation: We take a closer look at where your project stands and what is needed next.

We Discuss Your Options: You will have an opportunity to discuss the situation and potential paths forward.

You Get a Transparent Next Step: You leave the conversation with a better understanding of what comes next.
