Colorado Construction Pros
Construction & Remodeling in Boulder, CO
Boulder's housing is older and more multifamily than the state overall, and the city has its own energy code and a historic preservation program. Work we plan here includes remodels of pre-1980 homes, condo updates and major remodels that must meet the city's electric heating rules. Permits go through Planning & Development Services.

What shapes a project in Boulder
Local conditions worth knowing before scope and budget are set.
Older homes and more multifamily buildings
In the 2024 American Community Survey, Boulder's median home was built in 1977 and about 55 percent of its roughly 49,000 units were built before 1980. Only about 37 percent were single-family detached homes, and about 16 percent were in buildings with 50 or more units.
Historic preservation review
Boulder's historic preservation ordinance requires prior approval of exterior changes to landmarked buildings or sites and of proposed demolitions. The city also reviews applications to demolish or move non-landmarked buildings over 50 years old.
A local energy code with electric heating rules
Boulder enforces the 2024 ICC codes with local amendments, effective August 1, 2025, and its own 2024 energy code, effective December 1, 2024. Remodels classed as Level 3 or higher substantial alterations must install electric equipment as the primary source of space and water heating.
