boulder design build

John is a visionary artist and designer combined with a contractor and engineer. We are so lucky to have found him. He built our beautiful steel and glass stair railing and our semi-open kitchen. He combined Craftsman with clean modern lines. He listens intently to clients and has tremendous creativity and practical know how. He is wise, considerate, ethical and infinitely resourceful and talented. The jobs were completed quickly, neatly and with no cost overruns or surprises. John and his team are reliable, exacting, courteous and talented. He made a disappointing home a dream home for us, understanding exactly where we wanted to take it--inspiring, clean lines, great work surfaces and a dash of funk.

We hired John in 1996 for a job and were very pleased with his work—so much so that over the years we’ve hired him on 7 big jobs on our home. He’s transformed our 120 year old home into a beautiful, comfortable space that inspires and facilitates our happy and creative lifestyle.

We recently hired John to help us problem solve and design a critical safety feature for our pets, that we discovered immediately after the purchase of our new home. Extremely easy to work with, John listened, respected, and contributed his broad knowledge and honed aesthetic sensibility to the project. We were very pleased with his work, craftsmanship, commitment and experience. Thank you, John!!! Looking forward to working with you again....

John from Boulder Design/Build is awesome. He built a really great deck on the front of our house last summer. Rather than a plain rectangle, the deck has a semi-circular cutout to segue into a patio, steel edging, and tile stairs. He also made us a custom granite and copper outdoor side table. The deck markedly improved the curb appeal of our house. John's designs are thoughtful and extremely creative, which is important in a neighborhood like Martin Acres where all the houses tend to look alike. While he was over, he also closed up a hole in the roof overhang on the front of our house that had been attracting wasps. He didn't charge us for the extra work or even mention he'd done it; my wife noticed it the next day. When we get around to remodeling our kitchen, we will definitely use John as the contractor.

We have worked with John Uhr on various projects since 1998.We have always been extremely happy with the results and if we were not John would make changes until our needs were met . The largest project was a total rebuild of our home after the 2013 flood. We felt so comfortable with him that we left the state and let him deign and build our new home and it is awesome. I have no qualms or hesitation to recommend him to anyone Margie Hauck MD

Great imagination, quality craftsmanship and trustworthy .He completely remodeled and designed our home after the 2013 flood and we were absolutely thrilled by the results and professionalism of John Uhr Alex Hunter Former Boulder DA

After the flood, our basement was pretty trashed. We hired John Uhr of Boulder Design Builds and he did an amazing job! They redid our bathroom, incorporating a modern bowl sink with a vintage cabinet base, retiled the shower and finished it off with an amazing slab stone. He crafted a new fireplace with detailed iron work that is the coziest space in our home. Also redid the tile floor and baseboards in this awesome style of earthy grey stone. We are so happy with his work! We cannot recommend him enough! Thank you John!

I've lived in one of John's properties for about 3 years now and have been very pleased with his work, both on the interior and exterior of the house. He remodeled the kitchen a few years ago and it looks wonderful. John has been easy to work with and his level of craftsmanship with the house has been exceptional. I'd highly recommend him for any building or remodeling jobs or as a landlord and property manager.
