Handyman services for University Hills homeowners
University Hills is a consistent mid-century neighborhood of 1950s–1960s ranches and split-levels. Most homes are on their second or third owner and carry a familiar punch list — settlement cracks, original cabinets ready for paint, sticking doors, and trim that's due for a refresh.

About University Hills
The homes we work on here
University Hills sits south of I-25 between Colorado and Quebec, built out almost entirely in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The housing stock is remarkably consistent: brick and frame ranches, tri-levels, and split-entries on standard suburban lots. Many homes still have their original kitchens and baths, which makes refinish-rather-than-replace work especially valuable here.
Long-time owners, growing families, and downsizers — most want the work done cleanly and don't have time for multiple-trip projects.

Local tip
Original cabinets are usually worth saving
Mid-century University Hills cabinets are typically solid wood boxes with simple slab or shaker fronts. Careful sanding, priming with the right bonder, and two finish coats deliver a result that costs a fraction of replacement and keeps the room in scale.
