How do you safely mount a TV on Belcaro plaster walls?

Standard drywall anchors will crumble plaster. We locate studs first; if the mount can't land on framing, we use steel toggle bolts or hollow-wall anchors rated for plaster, pre-drill carefully, and confirm pull-out strength before hanging.

Will refinishing our Belcaro kitchen cabinets give us a few more years out of them?

Yes — Belcaro cabinets from the 1950s–60s were typically built well. A proper sand, bonding-primer, and two-coat repaint can extend their useful life by a decade or more at a fraction of replacement cost.

Can you handle several small Belcaro projects in one visit?

Yes — that's the core of how we work. A two-person crew with a stocked truck typically closes out a multi-room punch list in one or two days instead of separate trips.

Handyman services for Belcaro homeowners

Belcaro homes sit on substantial lots between Bonnie Brae and Cherry Creek. Most are mid-century brick ranches and traditionals owned by families who plan to stay. We bring the same two-person crew, careful surface prep, and Clean Work Promise to the cosmetic repairs, repaints, and installs these homes need year over year.

About Belcaro

The homes we work on here

Belcaro is a small, established Denver neighborhood bounded roughly by Cherry Creek to the north, University to the west, and Holly to the east. The housing is dominated by 1940s–1960s brick ranches and two-story traditionals on larger-than-typical lots, with a growing share of scrape-and-rebuilds on premier blocks. Most maintenance work here is a running list, not a single repair: a guest-room repaint, drywall touch-ups, a few sticking doors, and a cabinet refresh.

Established families, professionals, and retirees who want a clean punch-list visit, not a sales pitch for a remodel.

Local tip

Plaster anchors need the right hardware

Many original Belcaro homes still have plaster on lath instead of drywall. Standard drywall anchors will crumble it — we use toggles or steel hollow-wall anchors and pre-drill carefully so TV mounts and heavy art hold without damage.
