FAQ
Common questions
How much does Commercial TI Walkthrough cost in Boulder?
$350.
How do I book?
Press Book next to the job, pick a date and a morning (8–12) or afternoon (12–4) window, and pay in full. We confirm within 24 hours or refund you in full.
Do you work with multi-site brands and facility programs?
Yes — we run build-outs, refresh programs, and tenant improvements for commercial clients across the Front Range, including recurring facilities work for national brands.
Who handles the permits for a tenant finish?
We do. Commercial permits are issued by the municipality where the space sits, and our team manages drawings, submittals, and inspections through sign-off.
How do you keep a build-out on schedule?
Every project runs on our own operations platform — schedule, submittals, and status updates in one system — so you get straight answers about where things stand, in minutes not days.
