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.

Denver Metro homeowners on work in University Hills
Real feedback from recent jobs across the Denver Metro Area.
“Communication before the visit was clear and practical. Adjusted several doors and drawers, tightened loose hardware, repaired trim, and replaced worn caulk around the bathroom. The home was left tidy once the work was completed.”
“We had several small projects and were glad to handle them together. Added practical storage shelving in the garage and made sure the units were level and securely anchored. Everything on the list was addressed and the final walkthrough was helpful.”
“The process was straightforward from start to finish. Repaired a patio door that was difficult to close and made the necessary alignment and hardware adjustments. The finished work looked neat and the area was cleaned up afterward.”
