Copperhead Construction & Remodeling Reports Rising Demand for High-End Home Remodels Across Utah in 2026

Midvale, Utah - August 21, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Utah homeowners are increasingly choosing to reinvest in the homes they already own rather than relocate, according to remodeling trends identified by Copperhead Construction & Remodeling. Limited housing inventory, higher interest rates, and a desire to remain in established neighborhoods are driving a shift toward comprehensive, high-end renovations throughout 2026.
The family-owned contractor, based in Utah, reports that the nature of remodeling requests has changed considerably. Where projects once centered on cosmetic touches, many property owners now pursue updates that improve layouts, functionality, energy efficiency, and modern finishes. The result is a growing category of larger, more complex projects designed to transform existing homes into more functional, like-new spaces.

Whole-home remodels rank among the most requested projects. Instead of renovating one room at a time, homeowners are opting for cohesive updates that modernize floor plans, unify design across the house, and add practical storage. Kitchens continue to be a central focus, with larger multipurpose islands, integrated appliances, hidden storage, and durable countertops shaping current requests. Bathrooms are being reimagined as private wellness spaces, featuring walk-in showers, freestanding tubs, layered lighting, and improved storage.
Interest also extends beyond the primary living areas. Finished basements are being designed as natural extensions of the main floor, accommodating entertainment areas, guest suites, home gyms, and offices. Outdoor living spaces, including covered patios, outdoor kitchens, and fireplaces, are treated as additional rooms rather than afterthoughts. Accessory dwelling units are gaining attention for their flexibility, providing space for aging parents, adult children, long-term guests, rental income, or a private home office.
Energy-conscious upgrades round out the trends, with homeowners requesting better insulation, high-performance windows, efficient HVAC systems, smart thermostats, and improved air sealing. Flexible living spaces designed to serve multiple purposes are also common, allowing homes to adapt as household needs change over time.
"Homeowners are looking at their properties differently in 2026," said Ralph Kunz of Copperhead Construction & Remodeling. "Rather than starting over somewhere new, many are investing in thoughtful updates that make their current homes more functional and comfortable for years to come. The key is careful planning that accounts for long-term goals, budget, and the existing condition of the home."
The company notes that similar patterns are emerging in commercial tenant improvements, where businesses are updating spaces to better serve customers and employees. Kunz added that quality craftsmanship and clear communication remain essential for larger projects. "Complex remodels and additions require a coordinated process from initial design through final finishes," he said. "Clear timelines and open communication help keep these projects on track."
Additional information about remodeling trends and services is available from Copperhead Construction & Remodeling services.

Lockwood Communities Advances Multifamily Operations Following Appointment of Chief Operating Officer

SOUTHFIELD, MI - August 21, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Lockwood Companies has appointed Michael Pico as Chief Operating Officer. Pico joins the organization with more than 25 years of executive leadership experience across affordable housing, multifamily, and senior living. Most recently he served as President and CEO of The Millennia Companies, where he led a national portfolio of more than 33,000 units and guided the organization through a complex period while strengthening operations, performance, and culture. In his new role he will directly lead Management Operations, with a focus on driving property-level excellence, developing high-performing teams, strengthening operations, and supporting continued growth.
Lockwood Communities is the residential communities brand operated under Lockwood Companies. Lockwood Management, established in 2000 as a full-service multifamily management company dedicated to resident satisfaction and client success, provides the day-to-day management services for the portfolio. The appointment places operational leadership in direct support of the property management structure that oversees Lockwood Communities’ holdings.
Lockwood Communities maintains a portfolio of more than 30 apartment communities and townhomes throughout Michigan and Ohio. The communities include affordable and income-based apartments as well as market-rate options. Each community is managed by onsite teams that the company describes as service-oriented professionals available to answer resident questions and concerns and to provide guidance to current and prospective residents. The organization states that residents can expect a commitment to prompt service, friendly communication, and consistent management styles across the portfolio.
“Michael Pico’s background in multifamily and affordable housing operations aligns with the practical work of property-level teams that manage communities every day,” said Matt Gatewood, Executive Vice President of Management at Lockwood Communities. “Clear operational priorities and attention to team development support the consistent management practices already in place across the portfolio.”
The stated priorities for Management Operations center on property-level performance and the development of high-performing teams. Lockwood Communities identifies the support of long-term expert team members as a foundation of its approach. These teams operate within a framework of consistent management practices that the company applies across its Michigan and Ohio communities. The Chief Operating Officer role is positioned to strengthen the systems that enable onsite staff to carry out those responsibilities.
“Multifamily operations depend on capable teams and clear attention to the daily requirements of residential communities,” said Michael Pico, Chief Operating Officer. “The emphasis is on building from existing operational strengths to maintain well-managed environments for residents.”
Lockwood Communities’ properties offer one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments and townhomes. Features noted across multiple communities include swimming pools, playgrounds, fitness centers, balconies and patios, and central air conditioning. Pet-friendly policies are also in place at a number of locations. Onsite management and leasing teams oversee these residential settings as part of the broader operational model now under the direction of the Chief Operating Officer.
The formation of Lockwood Management in 2000 established the full-service multifamily platform that continues to support Lockwood Communities. The organization states that its success rests on long-term expert team members together with relationships with vendor and supply partners. The recent leadership appointment directs senior operational focus toward the same property-level and team-development priorities that have defined the management structure.


Lockwood Companies launched in 1987 in Southeast Michigan with the creation of Lockwood Development and Lockwood Construction. Lockwood Management followed in 2000, and Lockwood Senior Living was established in 2002. The leadership team brings over 12 decades of collective experience in property management, construction, and development. Lockwood Communities operates within this structure, managing its portfolio of more than 30 apartment communities and townhomes spanning Michigan and Ohio under a model of professionally managed residential environments.
