Boulder, CO · Bathroom Remodeling
From the one small original bath in a Mapleton Hill classic to a new primary suite in a Table Mesa pop-top, we remodel Boulder bathrooms and waterproof them so the wall stays dry for good.
"From the first phone call I knew I was going in the right direction. They gutted my bathroom and remodeled it within the time they said, and cleaned up every day."

Boulder sits at an elevation of about 5,430 feet, and its older homes were built with one small bathroom and plumbing that is now near the end of its life. Postwar ranches have their own quirks, and the city's energy code touches the rest. Here is what usually turns up, and how we handle it.
A Victorian in Mapleton Hill or an older home in Newlands or Whittier often has a single small bathroom for the whole house. We either make that room work harder with a smarter layout and a walk-in shower, or we add a second bath so the mornings stop being a fight.
Most bathroom callbacks in this area are leaks from a shower that was never waterproofed correctly. We build showers with a real waterproof system behind the tile, not just backer board and hope, so the wall behind your new tile stays dry.
Table Mesa ranches take pop-tops and second stories well, and that new primary bath is the fun part. In the older core, we add baths in a former closet or a finished lower level. Either way we plan the plumbing stack and venting so it passes inspection.
Boulder's energy code favors electric equipment, so a heat-pump water heater is often the smart pick for a bath project, and any exterior wall we open gets insulated to the required R-value. On a large remodel the code can call for electric heating. We plan for it and have you confirm the details with the city.
In the older neighborhoods the walls are plaster over wood lath and nothing is perfectly plumb after a century. Demo is dustier and the walls are rarely straight. We seal the room off, run dust control, and shim things back so your new tile sits flat.
Interior bath work usually is not landmark-reviewed. But if we add an exterior window for light or a new vent penetration on a home in Mapleton Hill or another historic district, the city may want a Landmark Alteration Certificate first. We flag that early.
