        "text": "Reconfiguring an older home often uncovers hidden issues such as uneven framing, outdated wiring, older plumbing lines, or non-standard joist spacing. In areas like Denver or Englewood with older housing stock, opening walls frequently reveals historic modifications that do not align with modern code. At HH Remodeling, owner Abraham Becerra conducts exploratory evaluations and communicates findings promptly, adjusting custom framing and coordinating sub-trade updates so your new layout rests on a solid, code-compliant foundation.",
