Trusted AV installers serving Boulder
Boulder is the most permit-intensive city we work in. Any electrical work that touches a panel, any structural penetration through a fire-rated assembly, and most exterior modifications require pulling a City of Boulder permit — and the Mapleton Hill historic district adds Landmarks Board review on top of that. We hold the licensing and we file the paperwork; clients who try to skip it usually find out at resale. The housing stock is older than most of the metro: Mapleton Hill and Whittier are 1880s–1920s wood-frame with knob-and-tube remnants in many basements (we never reuse it), Newlands is craftsman bungalows with shallow attic space and tight joist bays, and South Boulder ranches from the 1950s–60s have plenty of room for retrofit but often need full structured-wiring upgrades before any modern AV system goes in. Foothills properties west of Broadway frequently need surge protection rated for the lightning exposure that comes with sitting at 5,500+ feet.

HOA, permits & local review in Boulder
