About Platt Park

The homes we work on here

Platt Park sits south of Washington Park, organized around its namesake park and the Old South Pearl Street commercial strip. The housing is heavy on 1900s–1930s bungalows and Denver Squares, many with pop-top additions added in the 2000s and 2010s. Lots are narrow, alleys are working, and most homes share a maintenance profile common to early-20th-century Denver brick: original plaster on first floors, original trim, and additions in newer drywall.

Younger families, design-conscious owners, and walkers who chose the neighborhood for Old South Pearl Street and don't plan to leave.

Clean Work Promise

We leave your home cleaner than we found it

Respect for your home is a standard, not an upgrade. Every visit follows the same protective protocol from the moment we arrive until the final walkthrough.

Shoe covers & floor protection

Drop cloths and runners protect flooring from the front door to the work area.

Full cleanup & haul-away

Local tip

Pop-top seams move every season

Where a 2000s pop-top meets original first-floor framing, expect at least one hairline crack at the ceiling line every year. A flexible compound and proper feathered repair keeps the seam stable for several seasons instead of one.
