Boulder, Colorado • Since 1995
Home Remodeling in Boulder, CO
Boulder homeowners — from Mapleton Hill and the Newlands to North Boulder, Table Mesa, and Gunbarrel — trust Prana for remodeling done right.
Your trusted home remodeling contractor in Boulder
From dated layouts to dream spaces, our home remodeling brings thoughtful design and careful craftsmanship to every room. We handle the entire project — planning, permits, and construction — with the clear, consistent communication Prana is known for.
We know Boulder's housing stock, from historic bungalows near downtown to mid-century homes in Table Mesa and newer builds in Gunbarrel, and we navigate the city's permitting process every day.
Boulder's neighborhoods each remodel differently. The Victorian and craftsman homes of Mapleton Hill and the Newlands come with historic character worth protecting — and, in the designated districts, design review that has to be planned for. The 1950s and '60s ranches of Table Mesa and Martin Acres are ideal candidates for opening up compartmentalized floor plans and adding the primary suite the original builder never imagined. Out in Gunbarrel and North Boulder, 1970s-and-later homes often need updated kitchens, baths, and finishes more than structural change. After three decades of Boulder projects we know which walls are usually bearing, what the city's floor-area and setback rules will allow on a given lot, and how to sequence the work so your family isn't living in a job site longer than necessary.

Featured project • Boulder, CO
From 1950s bungalow to modern two-story
A complete transformation in Boulder: a modest single-story 1950s brick bungalow, taken down to its bones and rebuilt as a light-filled modern two-story home — new second-story addition, new roofline with deep overhangs and cedar soffits, panelized exterior, full-height glazing, and a re-landscaped yard with a paver walkway.
Before
The original single-story brick bungalow, typical of Boulder's postwar housing stock.
After
The same lot today: a modern two-story home with a full second-story addition.
Questions & answers
Home Remodeling in Boulder: questions we hear most
Do I need a permit for home remodeling in Boulder?
Almost always. The City of Boulder requires permits for structural, electrical, plumbing, and most layout changes, and homes in designated historic districts such as Mapleton Hill can also need design review. We handle the permit applications and inspections as part of every project, so the work is done to code and documented for resale.
Do you work on older Boulder homes?
Yes — much of our work is in homes built before 1970. Older Boulder houses often hide knob-and-tube wiring, galvanized plumbing, plaster walls, and framing that doesn't match modern spans. We plan for those surprises up front rather than discovering them mid-project, and we're careful to preserve the character that makes these homes worth remodeling.
Which parts of Boulder do you serve?
All of it — from Mapleton Hill and Whittier near downtown, to University Hill and Table Mesa in south Boulder, to North Boulder, Gunbarrel, and the unincorporated county neighborhoods just outside city limits. We're based in Boulder, so your project is never a long drive away.
How soon can you start, and how long will it take?
Once you approve the estimate, design and permitting usually take several weeks before construction begins, depending on the scope and the city's review times. We give you a realistic schedule up front and proactive updates throughout — no radio silence and no guessing when the crew will show up.
