VR Solutions is owned and run by Aaron VanRiper, serving the Vallecito and Bayfield area of Southwest Colorado. Aaron is genuinely hands-on — he'll frame a deck, weld the steel, run the excavator, and tile the shower himself. That range means one crew can take a project from dirt work and structure all the way to the finish carpentry and tile. As one client put it, he “consistently goes above and beyond… communicates clearly throughout the process, and always stays within budget.” Got a project in mind? He'll come take a look and give you an honest estimate.
Full exterior stain and refinish on log and wood-sided homes — wash, prep, and hand-applied stain that stands up to San Juan sun and snow. A summer specialty: get on the list early.
Whole-home and single-room remodels — kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, and finish carpentry, including full flood-recovery rebuilds.
Down-to-the-studs bathrooms with waterproofed, custom-tiled showers and tub surrounds, niches, and new fixtures.
Cedar decks, covered porches, and rooftop decks built for the view and the weather.
Additions and ground-up builds. Steel-frame shops, garages, and solar pergolas/mounts — welded in-house, built for snow load.
Trenching, utilities, drainage, and grading with their own equipment.
On-site welding and steel fabrication — railings, beams, and structural work done in-house.
Pro-Panel metal roofing — new roofs and re-roofs — plus fence repair and replacement.

Aaron is woven into this valley well beyond the jobsite. For the past several years he's volunteered at the community slash depot — the local drop-off where neighbors haul branches and woody debris to keep wildfire fuels down around Vallecito and Bayfield — and he's the kind of neighbor who shows up to help however he can. Hiring VR Solutions means supporting someone who gives back to this community, not just builds in it.
