About ISM Carpentry & Remodels

Thoughtful Work for Homes That Matter

Most of the homeowners we work with aren’t just starting a project—they’re trying to make the right decision about their home.

Sometimes that means improving how a space functions day to day.
Sometimes it’s investing in a custom piece that feels integrated into the home.
And sometimes it’s working within the character of an older property—updating it carefully without losing what makes it special.

Before any work begins, we take the time to understand what actually matters—so the result isn’t just well-built, but well-considered.

A Different Kind of Contractor Relationship

ISM Carpentry and Remodels is led by Ian Murgacz, a Boulder County–based contractor with over two decades of hands-on experience.

Ian works directly with each homeowner from the initial conversation through completion—offering clarity, steady communication, and a thoughtful approach throughout the process.

Clients often come to us not just for the work itself, but for help thinking through:

  • What’s worth doing—and what’s not

  • How to approach a project without overcomplicating it

  • How to balance function, aesthetics, and long-term value

Craftsmanship, Backed by Judgment

Our work includes custom carpentry, remodeling, and restoration—but what defines our projects is how they’re approached.

  • Careful planning before work begins

  • Attention to detail throughout execution

  • Clean, intentional integration into the existing home

  • Respect for both the space and the people living in it

We collaborate with a trusted network of licensed professionals—including electricians, plumbers, tile installers, and designers—to ensure each project is completed with consistency and care.

Experience with Character-Rich Homes

We’ve had the opportunity to work on a range of homes throughout Boulder County, including historic properties in areas like Chautauqua—where attention to detail and respect for original architecture is essential.

These projects require a different level of care, and they continue to shape how we approach every space we work in.
