About contemporary homes in Boulder

Flat roofs in a hail state. A membrane roof drains slowly and takes hail. Ask for the roof age, the warranty and the drainage design on every flat-roof home in Boulder.

Glass and energy. Big glass walls face west into the afternoon sun. Low-E glass, exterior shades and the HVAC sizing decide the summer bill.

Builder and warranty. Modern infill in Boulder is built by small builders. We check the builder's record, the permits and what warranty transfers.

Materials. Steel, stucco, fiber cement and rainscreens each age differently at altitude. The inspection looks at flashing and sealant, which is where modern homes leak.

Resale. Contemporary homes sell to a smaller buyer pool in Boulder than a traditional plan, and they sell for more per foot to it. Pricing to that pool is the job.
