Why Choose HRTI in Boulder, Colorado?

Boulder sits at the foot of the Flatirons at about 5,300 feet, with sunny days, about 88 inches of snow in a typical season, frequent summer thunderstorms, and fast temperature swings from Chinook winds. Those conditions are hard on exteriors, and Boulder’s building rules add their own layers. HRTI tailors recommendations to each property instead of selling one package to everyone.

Across the Denver metro, HRTI provides roofing, siding, and window & door replacement, plus storm damage repair. Browse our completed projects to see local work.

Your Exterior Expert in Boulder, Colorado

Whatever the project, HRTI inspects the substrate (sheathing, flashing, moisture barriers, and framing) before installing finish materials. A new roof, window, or siding job is only as good as what it’s attached to, and hidden moisture damage is one of the most common things we find once the old material comes off.

Windows & Doors

Replacement Windows & Doors in Boulder

Windows are one of the most common projects in Boulder, and the City of Boulder’s energy conservation code can apply to window replacement. HRTI installs energy-efficient replacement windows plus entry and patio doors from brands including Pella, Sierra Pacific, Simonton, Sunrise, and Weathershield, and we can help you match the right performance to the job.

See our full Windows & Doors service page for the full lineup of brands and styles HRTI installs.

Siding

Siding Installation & Replacement in Boulder

Boulder’s sun, snow, and thunderstorms all shape which siding holds up. HRTI installs James Hardie fiber cement, LP SmartSide DiamondKote with RigidStack, vinyl, metal, and specialty wood siding, always over the correct sheathing. The City of Boulder treats replacement of exterior finishes only as a limited scope, but energy code and historic review can still apply, so check before you start. For a deeper look at which siding material holds up best against Colorado’s hail, UV, and freeze-thaw cycling, see our guide on the best siding for Colorado’s climate, or visit our full Siding service page.

Painting

Exterior Painting with HRTI in Boulder

Boulder’s strong sun and high-altitude UV shorten the life of exterior paint. HRTI does full prep and repair of damaged surfaces, then applies premium Sherwin-Williams coatings. Many neighborhood associations require approval of exterior colors, and historic districts can add review of their own, so check first.

Learn more on our Exterior Painting service page.

Roofing

Roof Replacement & Repairs in Boulder

Hail and summer thunderstorms are common reasons Boulder homeowners call us, and Boulder’s snow and sun wear roofs quickly. HRTI handles roof replacements, repairs, and storm-damage claims, working with your insurance adjuster. Roofing options include:

  • Asphalt shingle roofing
  • Synthetic and stone-coated steel roofing
  • Class A fire-rated options, such as CeDUR synthetic shake
  • Storm-damage inspections and insurance claim support

If your home is in a historic district or a wildland-urban interface area, additional city review can apply, so we plan for that early.

Visit our Roofing service page for details, or our Storm Damage & Free Inspections page if a recent hailstorm is the reason you’re here.

Boulder, Colorado Exterior Remodeling FAQs

Does HRTI serve all of Boulder, CO?

Yes. HRTI serves homeowners throughout Boulder and the surrounding northwest Denver metro area. If you’re not sure your address is covered, call 303-984-6159 and we’ll confirm.

Do I need a permit to replace windows or siding in Boulder?

It depends on the project. The City of Boulder’s Residential Alterations Guide treats replacement of existing windows and doors or exterior finishes only as limited-scope work, and says the 2024 City of Boulder Energy Conservation Code checklist is required for alterations with applicable scopes. Confirm your project’s path with the city, and HRTI can walk you through what applies.

Can I replace windows or siding on a historic home in Boulder?

Often yes, but a Landmark Alteration Certificate is required for any building in a historic district and for individual landmarks, and buildings 50 years or older may need a Historic Preservation Demolition Review if the work meets the city’s definition of demolition. Check with the City of Boulder before you start, and HRTI can help you choose materials that suit an older home.

Does Boulder’s energy code affect window replacement?

It can. The City of Boulder’s guide says the 2024 City of Boulder Energy Conservation Code Residential Mandatory Measures Checklist is required for alterations with applicable scopes of work. Confirm the specifics for your project with the city, and HRTI can help you choose windows that fit.

Does Boulder have wildfire requirements for homes in the foothills?

The City of Boulder’s guide says structures in the Wildland Urban Interface Zone need International Wildland-Urban Interface Code compliance information, and the city manages about 8,000 acres of protected forest west of town to reduce wildfire risk. Ask the city which requirements apply to your property.

What siding holds up best in Boulder’s climate?

James Hardie fiber cement and LP SmartSide DiamondKote with RigidStack are generally the strongest options HRTI installs for hail, snow, and sun. The best choice for your home also depends on its style, your budget, and any HOA or historic rules.

Does HRTI help with insurance claims after a storm?

Yes. HRTI offers free storm-damage inspections, documents the damage so you have a clear record, and can meet your insurance adjuster on site.
