Going right up! 🔝

It’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for at our South Boulder Remodel - elevator install!

With its unique location, situated on a hill with TWO walkout basements, an elevator was essential.

Would you want an elevator in your home? What if it was five stories tall?

Dream big. Plan well. Make it happen.
For many homeowners, springtime means taking on a home renovation project. Boulder is seeing a really busy season already with home renovations, so while remodeling your home can be incredibly rewarding and fulfilling, make sure you plan correctly. I consulted the experts at @cottonwood_custom_builders - who did the incredible renovation shown in these photos - for their top tips on what to consider before getting started. See my most recent blog post at www.forsaleboulder.com for details.
Many thanks to Cottonwood Custom Builders for their contribution and talent.

What’s green, gorgeous, and efficient all over?

What’s green, gorgeous, and efficient all over? 🤔

This house!

Built in 2013, it’s a lean green machine. It’s so efficient that it produces MORE energy than it uses!

It achieves Net Zero status though an extensive solar array, passive solar design, and solar hot water for radiant heat.

For our fellow energy geeks... it’s HERS score is -2! (Shout out to our third-party energy verification partner, @energylogic!!)

As an added bonus, it even features a containerized living green roof! 🌱🌱🌱 (You can spy it out the window in this photo if you look closely!)

“He who works with his hands is a laborer. He who works with his hands and his head is a craftsman. He who works with his hands and his head and his heart is an artist.”
- St. Francis of Assissi

As we wrap up this home’s remodel/addition, we’re reflecting on how honored we were to build a craftsman’s shop!

Balancing art, precision, and master wood working, this homeowner creates one-of-kind, handcrafted guitars. Naturally, they needed a workshop worthy of their craft!

After all of our hard work, it’s ready for theirs. We can’t wait to see the exceptional instruments they create!

Swipe to see photos from building the addition, and the workshop’s incredible view of the foothills!

Nothing makes a relaxing Saturday feel as good as a hugely productive week! 💪🏼

Jon’s Sumac remodel is on fire! The second floor is framed in and it’s coming together beautifully. We’re so glad Jon joined our team this year - one of 2021’s highlights for sure!

What are you celebrating this weekend?

You know a carpenter is around when you see something like this. 🪚🪵🪑

Scraps are only scraps if that’s all you see.

Love seeing the ways our team creatively reuses leftover materials. What’s the most clever you’ve seen lately in the reuse department?

Let's talk geothermal!

Some things you may not know...

1️⃣ Geothermal is possible for Coloradans! Maybe you've visited other countries and thought it's a fabulous technology, but not possible here. Guess what? It is! And...

2️⃣ Tax credits were just renewed! 🎉 For a recent client, installing geothermal only raised their overall cost by about $1,000, thanks to the tax credit! (DM us to learn more!)

3️⃣ Geothermal supports heating AND cooling!

4️⃣ To install geothermal, we dig 300' deep holes and install a looping hose. For the home shown in these videos, we hit groundwater at 70' deep (check out the video!). After the holes are ready and the hose is installed, we fill the cavity with grout to fill in all air voids. Why? An air void would insulate the hose from the ground temperature. By filling the space, we create a solid transfer of the ground temperature to the pipe.

Swipe to the last photo to see an exterior shot of this home. Last time we shared an update, Lea explained all of the components of the foundation. It's sure come a long way since then!
