Completed whole-home remodel in Boulder, CO — modern two-story exterior with cedar soffits and covered patio

Featured Project • Boulder, Colorado

Boulder remodeling projects by Prana Construction

Real work, on real Colorado homes. Here's what our whole-home remodels and custom builds look like from first walkthrough to final landscaping.

From 1950s bungalow to modern two-story

A complete transformation in Boulder, CO

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.

Projects like this are where three decades of Boulder County remodeling experience pay off: structural work, permitting, and finish carpentry handled end to end by one accountable contractor — with the transparent, consistent communication Prana is known for at every stage.

The transformation

Before → during → after

Before

The original 1950s brick bungalow — solid bones, dated layout, single story.

During

Down to the structure: new roof framing goes up for the second-story addition.

After

A modern two-story home with cedar soffits, a covered patio, and twice the living space.

Case study

A lakefront mountain home, inside and out

A whole-home project on the water: vaulted great room with exposed timber trusses, a custom kitchen built around an oversized quartz island, a marble primary bath with a picture-window shower, a finished lower level with a stone bar, and composite decks that run all the way down to the private dock.

The home

Stone, timber, and glass — a build that has to stand up to foothills sun, wind, and winters while framing the water from every room.

The great room

Exposed timber trusses, a wood-clad vaulted ceiling, and sliding glass walls that open the whole room to the deck and the lake beyond.

David Zeff and Prana did a large remodel and addition to our Boulder home years ago, and we were very, very pleased with the high-end work! Since then, we have had them do a couple of additional projects at our home and at our rentals, and we were very pleased. They are our “go-to”, and we recommend them highly!

Dave and his team at Prana did a fantastic remodel for us. He led an extensive project requiring substantial increase of sq ft of the property that required complex permitting with Boulder County. The result of the project was the beautiful home we wanted and Prana's professionalism and transparency made the process as painless as possible. I would absolutely work with Prana again and recommend them wholeheartedly.

We had a wonderful experience with Dave and his team for our kitchen extension and above-garage room addition. They worked with us to help us stay in the house while the major remodel was underway. They were friendly, responsive and great to work with during the entire project. Billing was clear and no major issues. We would use them again!

Prana Construction is THE ABSOLUTE BEST Contractor I have ever worked with! Dave and his crew remodeled a main floor living space: BIG project including removing walls, extending existing walls, all new windows and doors, new designer kitchen, new exterior deck, 2 new fireplaces & mantles and new lighting and electrical throughout. Dave & his crew have excellent communication which kept our projects on time and in budget! Dave responds to communication promptly, he is a kind soul with a calm demeanor and is an efficient problem-solver.

David Zeff and his crew at Prana Construction built our house and they did an incredible job! The build was finished in 2013 and we have felt so lucky to live in it for the past 12 years. It took this long for us to need anything repaired (a shower drain needed re-caulking). I gave Dave a call and he came and repaired the issue which I am sure will hold for another 12 years of daily use. I really cannot say enough good things about Prana, we were so lucky to have selected them to build our house. We get compliments on the house literally EVERY time a new person comes over.

My husband and I began our total house remodeling project several years ago with Prana Construction; David Zeff as Project Manager. We met with many contractors but decided on Prana and have been thrilled with our new home for years. David and his team went beyond expectations. David was on budget and on time and the compliments on our home just keep on coming. He personally inspected all work and made sure that it was done to perfection. Prana Construction would be the first firm we called with any new remodeling project. We highly recommend Prana Construction and David Zeff.
