Seven Generations of Excellence
Brooks Building
Brooks Building has been a trusted name in Colorado for over 31 years, now operating as the full-service Josh Brooks Construction and Renovation Inc.
The Evolution of Brooks Building Heritage
The foundation of Brooks Building was laid decades ago by my grandfather, Robert Brooks. A veteran and a master of the roofing trade, Robert established a standard of technical accuracy that became the family benchmark. He was supported by his sons—my father, Raymond Brooks, and my uncles, Rocky and Russel Brooks. Though these four pillars of our family have passed away, the “work-horse” grit they instilled in me remains at the core of every project we undertake today.
While my uncles Rocky and Russel taught me the hands-on mastery of a perfect roof ridge, my father Raymond brought a different level of expertise to the table. After his time in the family trade, Raymond became a CEO for Warner Bros. Cable TV, managing massive construction and infrastructure projects. This rare blend of high-level project management and seven generations of roofing secrets allows us to handle complex home additions and structural renovations with a precision most “storm chasers” simply cannot match.
The Brooks Standard:
- ✓ 31 Years Locally Owned: Serving Longmont since 1996.
- ✓ Corporate Precision: Management logic from a Warner Bros. legacy.
- ✓ Full Licensure: Boulder County License CON-24-0152.
- ✓ Family Integrity: Honoring Robert, Raymond, Rocky, and Russel.
Comprehensive Construction Solutions
Today, the spirit of Brooks Building lives on through Josh Brooks Construction and Renovation Inc. We have expanded from our roofing roots to provide the Front Range with high-end kitchen remodels, basement finishing in Erie, and authorized James Hardie Siding installations. We treat every home as if it were our own family legacy, utilizing premium materials like Pella Windows and Owens Corning shingles.
We understand that a renovation is a major investment. That is why we maintain a “Professional Pace”—we never rush a job just to get to the next one. Whether we are pulling permits through the [Boulder County Building Department](https://bouldercounty.gov/property-and-land/land-use/building/permits/) or documenting an insurance claim for hail damage, we provide the level of detail and documentation that Raymond Brooks used to manage corporate construction at the highest level.
Corporate Management for Local Construction
What sets Brooks Building apart from other local contractors is the high-level project management logic we bring to every job site. My father, Raymond Brooks, took the technical skills he learned on the roof and rose to become a CEO for Warner Bros. Cable TV. In that role, he managed multi-million dollar construction and installation infrastructures. That influence is exactly why we prioritize documentation, strict scheduling, and clear communication.
When you hire Josh Brooks Construction and Renovation Inc., you aren’t just getting a crew; you are getting a corporate-grade management system applied to your home. We utilize the same discipline Raymond used at Warner Bros. to ensure your permits are filed correctly with the [City of Longmont](https://longmontcolorado.gov/building-inspection/) and your materials arrive on time. We combine the grit of Robert, Rocky, and Russel Brooks with the oversight of a CEO to deliver a “Professional Pace” that is unmatched in Northern Colorado.
The Foundation of Framing: A Tribute to Mitch Mercer
While my roofing roots run seven generations deep, my structural framing expertise was forged under the guidance of my stepfather, Mitch Mercer. Mitch was a master of large-scale structural assembly and taught me the intricate details of framing complex residential and multi-family buildings right here in Longmont. His mentorship is the reason Josh Brooks Construction and Renovation Inc. is capable of handling heavy structural wall removals and complex home additions today.
Mitch Mercer’s influence can be seen across the Longmont skyline. Together, we worked on major local landmarks including the Ute Creek Golf Course apartments and the Hover Ridge development. These projects required immense technical accuracy and an understanding of how to build structures that would stand the test of Colorado’s environmental pressures. Mitch taught me that a building is only as strong as its frame, a lesson I apply to every custom home build and basement finish we execute.
By combining Mitch’s framing mastery with the roofing legacy of the Brooks family, I have built a company that understands the “skeleton” of a home just as well as the “skin.” Whether we are framing a new addition in Boulder County or reinforcing a structural header in a kitchen remodel, the lessons Mitch Mercer passed down are evident in every beam we set and every nail we drive.
