Nelson Builders | Top-Rated Privacy Fence Installation in Durango, CO

Building an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) or guest house in Durango requires understanding local zoning regulations and permit requirements. We handle site assessment, design, and construction to ensure your ADU meets city codes while maximizing space and energy efficiency. Our team has experience with Durango's varied terrain, from flat lots near the Animas River to sloped properties closer to the San Juan National Forest, so we tailor foundations and access accordingly.

Modular home construction involves building sections off-site in a controlled environment, then assembling them on your property. In Durango, this method can be more cost-effective and faster than stick-built homes, especially when dealing with short building seasons. We work with local modular suppliers and ensure all units comply with Colorado's energy codes and Durango's fire-resistance requirements. The foundation and final finishes are done on-site by our crew, resulting in a custom look with factory precision.

Durango's winters bring deep snow and freeze-thaw cycles that can damage standard fences, while elk and deer may push against them. We recommend using durable materials like cedar, metal, or composite with deep-set posts (below frost line) and reinforced corners. For wildlife, we can install taller panels or add a wire mesh barrier. Our team evaluates your property's exposure and soil conditions to choose the right fence for lasting performance, whether you're near the Animas Valley or in a foothills neighborhood.
