Louisville is a small Boulder County city with a historic downtown, and part of the community has been rebuilding since the Marshall Fire. The Colorado Technology Center holds office, lab and light manufacturing buildings, and the McCaslin Boulevard corridor adds retail and hospitality. Rooftop unit replacement is one of the most common projects we run for owners and property managers here.
Rooftop work in Louisville
We work on roofs across the Colorado Technology Center, Redtail Ridge, the McCaslin Boulevard corridor and downtown Main Street. Marshall Fire rebuilds and the Redtail Ridge redevelopment have made Louisville a busy market for code-current new construction.
Louisville is a small Boulder County city with a historic downtown, and part of the community has been rebuilding since the Marshall Fire. Rooftop equipment here takes direct sun, hail, wind and cold snaps, and many units on older buildings are past their expected life and running on repeated repairs.

- Disposal of old units
- Hail guard options
- Roof survey of every unit
- Replacement equipment selection
Process

- Install. Scheduled work windows, protected finishes and clean sites
- Commission. Startup, balancing, controls and training before turnover
What we plan for in Louisville
- Old Town homes have tight lots and older layouts.
- Rebuilt homes go up under current energy codes, which makes heat pumps and ventilation design especially relevant.
- Homes that survived near the fire area may still have smoke residue concerns in ductwork.
Louisville sits at about 5,350 feet. At that elevation gas equipment needs the manufacturer's high-altitude setup and cooling capacity is lower than sea-level ratings suggest, so we select and set up equipment for the actual site.
We also deliver rooftop unit replacement in nearby Superior, Boulder, Broomfield and Erie. For the full overview, including our pricing approach, process and common questions, see rooftop unit replacement in Denver.

Louisville rooftop unit replacement questions
Do you handle the crane?
Yes. We work with a qualified crane provider, prepare a written lift plan and handle street use permits where the lift requires them.
Do you replace RTUs around the Colorado Technology Center?
Yes. We replace rooftop units across Louisville, including the Colorado Technology Center, Redtail Ridge, the McCaslin Boulevard corridor and downtown Main Street.
What is a curb adapter?
A transition that lets a new unit with a different footprint sit on the existing roof curb, which avoids cutting and re-flashing the roof.
Can Louisville changeouts happen after hours?
Yes. Most Louisville changeouts are scheduled early mornings, weekends or after hours.
How many units in one day?
Often several, depending on unit size, access and crane reach. Grouping units into one crane day lowers the lift cost per unit.
