“I want to build something…”

Hi, I’m James, founder of Straight Level Square Construction. I began building professionally in 2011, working alongside skilled contractors who took pride in their craft and built things meant to last. Over the years, I learned what to do—and just as importantly, what not to do—from some of the best in the business. Eventually, I decided it was time to build something of my own: Straight Level Square.

I launched Straight Level Square Construction in 2017 with the goal of being a one-stop shop for designing, building, and managing the projects our clients envision. From simple cosmetic upgrades to full home transformations, we’ve tackled a wide range of work across Northern Colorado. Our specialty is turning your dream project into reality.

We’re here for you every step of the way, and we’re confident you’ll love the service and results our team delivers.

Build on!
