True North Construction Company is a veteran-owned, family-owned builder based in Florence, about 10 minutes from Cañon City. Derek and Lesley True started the company in 2019, and Cañon City is where much of our work happens. We build custom homes, remodel kitchens and bathrooms, add living space, and build decks, shops, and accessibility upgrades for homeowners across Cañon City and the surrounding area.

When you hire us, you are hiring neighbors. We know the roads, the suppliers, the inspectors, and the kind of weather that rolls through the Royal Gorge. That local knowledge saves you time and money on every project.

Building in Cañon City Is Different

Cañon City sits lower and drier than most of Colorado’s mountain towns, with mild winters and a long building season. That is good news for your project schedule. But the area has its own challenges that a builder from out of town may not plan for.

Soils change from lot to lot, and some of them shift as they get wet and dry out. Wind comes down off the hills and through the river canyon. Summer sun is strong, and hail can show up fast. We design foundations, framing, roofing, and exterior finishes with all of that in mind, so your home holds up for decades, not just until the warranty runs out.

Permitting also depends on where your property sits. A lot inside Cañon City limits follows a different path than acreage in unincorporated Fremont County. We know both paths, and we handle the paperwork so you do not have to.

Construction Services in Cañon City

Custom Homes – Whether you own a lot in town or acreage outside it, we build homes designed around your land, your views, and your budget. We also build energy-efficient and off-grid solar homes for owners who want lower utility bills or more independence.

Home Remodeling – Cañon City has a lot of older homes with real character. We update them without losing what makes them special, from layout changes to whole-house remodels.

Kitchen Remodeling and Bathroom Remodeling – New cabinets, counters, tile, lighting, and better layouts. We also handle tub-to-shower conversions with proper waterproofing.

Home Additions – When the house no longer fits the family, adding on is often easier and less expensive than moving. We build bedrooms, primary suites, sunrooms, and second stories that match your existing home.

Decks and Outdoor Living – Cañon City’s mild weather means you can use an outdoor space most of the year. We build decks, covered porches, pergolas, and patios made to handle sun, wind, and hail.

Pole Barns and Barndominiums – Shops, equipment storage, and barndominiums for properties in and around town, built to code and to last.

Accessibility and Aging in Place – Ramps, zero-threshold showers, grab bars, and wider doorways that help you stay in the home you love.

Commercial Construction – We also build and remodel small commercial buildings for local businesses.
