Making Life Better for more than
24 years in Colorado
For us, it’s more than a motto—it’s our mission.
It’s something we live and breathe every day. We incorporate our motto into everything we do and every home we build. From thoughtful extras, to incredible value, to warranties that make our buyers feel at home. Although it’s not just about our homeowners—this sentiment extends to everyone we work, play, and do business with, too.
At Challenger Homes, we build the kind of great Colorado homes that people dream of. But, because we build some of the most incredible homes at some of the state’s biggest value, your dream just may become a reality. And that’s Making Life Better.
Our Story
Over the last twenty-two years, we’ve grown our business of just one home site into one of Colorado’s most trusted new home builders. Thanks to strong core values and an unwavering commitment to our homebuyers, associates, trade partners, and communities, we hope to be Making Life Better for decades to come.
Making Life Better Stories
We live to make life better for our homeowners, our employees, and most importantly, our community. Check out our most recent charitable events below:
Holiday Food Drive
In December 2023, Challenger Homes partnered with a local realtor group to helping restock the Woodmen Valley Chapel food pantry. We donated over 100 canned goods. We are honored to be a part of Making Life Better for those in our communities relying on food from this food bank.
Pikes Peak Habitat for Humanity
In June 2023, Challenger Home partnered with Pikes Peak Habitat for Humanity. We volunteered in The Ridge at Sand Creek community to assist with landscaping. So jobs included moving rock, digging trenches, installing week cloth, installing metal landscaping borders, etc. We loved that we could help by Making Life Better for our community.
2nd Trip to Agua Prieta, Mexico to build 2 Homes
Last week a group of 20 Challenger Group employees made our second trip to Agua Prieta, Mexico to build two homes over 3 days. The trip was sponsored by The Making Live Foundation and included volunteers from The Challenger Group companies, Challenger Homes, Dream Team, All Pro Capital, Key Structures and Amato Homes.
When the team arrives the home foundations and plumbing are in place, by the end of day one the home is framed. Day two we have interior walls framed, rafters and roof decking, windows and siding underway. Day three roofing, electrical and drywall, exterior trim, and doors are completed. The painting and finishes will be completed by another group. The homes are modest with two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a common living area.
On this trip the team supported a food distribution for 200 families feeding approximately 1,000 people.
The project is a wonderful experience in service, teambuilding, and fellowship. The trip is humbling a reminder of how blessed we all are.
