Log home exterior strip and re-stain in Vallecito, CO: back to clean wood, chinking repair, a UV-rated finish, and trim, deck, and railing to match.
Our Work
22 photographs from 12 projects around Vallecito, Bayfield, and the rest of La Plata County. No stock images. Every one of these is work Aaron did.
The finish that keeps a log home from going grey and checked at altitude.

Log home exterior strip and re-stain in Vallecito, CO: back to clean wood, chinking repair, a UV-rated finish, and trim, deck, and railing to match.
Whole-home or single room, framed and finished by the same crew.

Interior remodel taken back to the studs and rebuilt by one crew: waterproofing board, a slate tile tub surround and floor, trim, and finish carpentry.

Structural floor correction: an unlevel floor traced back to what was actually moving and fixed at the framing, not floated over with new flooring.
Waterproofed properly behind the tile, where you will never see it.

Full bathroom and tile remodel: membrane, a flood-tested shower pan, and the niche framed in before the tile, so the waterproofing behind it holds.
Framed for real snow load, footed below frost line, built to stay put.

Covered pergola shade structure, framed and connected to carry a foot of wet snow overnight, not a catalog kit built to look good in July.

Deck and railing build framed for real snow load and footed below frost line, with railing built to survive a Southwest Colorado winter.

A two-bay garage with a cable-rail deck on top, built onto a log home with a river-rock chimney, shown from framing to finish on the same corner.
Shops, barns, and solar structures: engineered, welded, and stood up in-house.

Metal building in Bayfield, CO, carried by one crew from the dirt work and foundation pour through the footings to erecting the structural steel.

Steel building start to finish by one crew: dirt work, footings, structural steel, and Pro-Panel skin on one schedule, one contractor instead of three.

Ground-mount solar array structure welded on site, not bolted together from a kit, to hold the panels at the right angle through winter wind and snow.
Driveways, pads, drainage, and trenching, the part that has to be right first.
A massive interior concrete planter removed without filling the house with dust: taped floor-to-ceiling, demoed, hauled, and cleaned.
Rebuilds after water damage: done once, done dry, documented for insurance.

Post-flood rebuild: a flooded home taken back to the studs, closed up only when moisture readings allowed, and photographed at every stage for the claim.

Working with Aaron at VR Solutions has been a breath of fresh air. It's rare to find a contractor who consistently goes above and beyond, but Aaron does just that. He's stepped up on weekends to get jobs done, communicates clearly throughout the process, and always stays within budget. His dedication, reliability, and work ethic truly set him apart. I highly recommend Aaron and the quality service he provides.
