Van Upgrades
Sometimes, you just need a refresh.
Whether it’s fresh paint, new cabinets, or a complete top-to-bottom renovation, we’ll work closely with you to unlock the potential of your van for your lifestyle and needs. As experienced vanlifers and builders, we’re ready to jump in and help you determine anything from the best van for you or the best layout for your gear. No matter where you are in your journey, we are the partners you can rely on for any project, big or small.

The Van Upgrade Process
Next opening: September 2024
Designing your dream, together
Your build starts with a no-commitment call where we can better understand you, your requirements, and of course, your hopes. From here, we start sketching and turn our conversation into a vision for your van.
Crafting a schedule and build plan
Once we settle on a design together, we’ll put together a comprehensive build schedule and pricing. A 25% deposit is required to book your spot on our calendar. After that, 25% is due on drop-off, and the remaining amount when you pick up your new dream van.
Build and install begins
Bring your van into our shop on our scheduled date, and we’ll get to work. As we progress with your projects, you’ll recieve constant updates, letting you know just how far things are coming. Because our work is entirely custom, project timelines vary.
Pick up and final walkthrough
With your new van complete, it’s time to pick up your keys. Arrive at the shop and we’ll lead you through a comprehensive walkthrough and operation guide of your new build. From here, we’re always around to help — or just to chat. We love to know where the road takes you.
Spotlight: Laika
“Beyond just delivering expert craftsmanship for our remodel Laika, Chris was a true thought partner and collaborator for the project from the very beginning.
He took the vision we initially had and made it better, providing suggestions for everything from pull-out drawer features to water tank installation. The entire time, he made sure that the changes aligned with the final outcome we wanted to achieve: a modern yet cozy build that could be both a weekend getaway and a home for months on end.
Despite running into challenges with the original build, Chris delivered our project ahead of schedule and with perfect execution. I would recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone looking for incredible quality and a wonderful partnership experience!”

Van Upgrades
-
A remodel can be anything you want it to be. A remodel can range from fully gutting and rebuilding your entire van to adding in some cabinetry and drawers.
-
Absolutely. We are happy to help DIYers with any aspect of their build, whether it is cabinetry, a fan install, water system, etc. Just send us a message for an estimate.
-
Because each remodel is unique and the extent of the work can heavily vary, pricing is quoted on a project basis.
-
Searching for a good van on the used market can be tough expecially if you are new to vanlife. We can help you peruse the market to find a used van that suits your needs well, and can be shaped into your dream van.
-
We are based in Boulder, Colorado, so you’ll have to deliver the van to the shop, or we can arrange a creative pickup. You should come for a visit though - we’ve got great beer, great views,
Let’s build together.
Send us a quick message about your project, and we’ll get back to you within one business day.
