When our clients moved to Boulder from DC with their kids, they weren’t new to renovation: they knew exactly what they wanted. Having remodeled before, they came in with clarity, confidence, and excitement to collaborate.
Their home sits in a prime South Boulder location, just across from the South Boulder Rec Center and Fairview High School, a place woven into daily family life. But while the setting was ideal, the exterior didn’t reflect the warmth or character they envisioned. Improving curb appeal quickly became the focus of their Boulder exterior remodel.
Together, we reimagined the home’s first impression. We chose to preserve the original brick, giving it new life with a rich, earthy green that feels grounded in Colorado’s natural landscape. Wood accents were thoughtfully layered in to add contrast and warmth, softening the structure while enhancing its architectural character.

This project was a true exterior transformation. We refreshed the siding and installed a new metal standing seam roof, carefully selecting tones that complement the newly painted brick and unify the home’s palette. The materials not only elevate the aesthetic but also provide durability for Boulder’s shifting seasons.
To add dimension and break up the flatness of the façade, we introduced L-beams that create depth and subtle architectural interest. These structural elements give the home a stronger presence from the street: modern, clean, yet still welcoming.
The result is a cohesive and thoughtfully executed Boulder exterior remodel that reflects both the family inside and the vibrant South Boulder community around it.
