Primary baths
Design it, build it, live in it.
Tessera designs and builds kitchens and bathrooms across the Denver metro. Since 2012, about 45 rooms a year.
One studio does all of it: the drawings, the selections in our showroom, the permits, the build, and the two-year warranty.
We think a good kitchen should be easier to live in, not just nicer to look at.

What clients say
“Every Friday we got a short written update with photos. I never had to chase anyone for an answer.”
-
“Their first proposal was over our budget. Instead of pushing, they showed us three ways to cut it, and we picked one.”
Andre W. · Kitchen, Arvada -
“The showroom made it easy. We touched every finish before we chose it, so nothing was a surprise.”
Lena O. · Primary bath, Littleton -
“Two weeks late because the glass was back-ordered. They told us the day they knew, and the rest went to plan.”
Paul G. · Walk-in shower, Lakewood
