Proudly Serving

Lakewood

Local. Trusted. Neighborly.

Lakewood is one of the largest west-metro cities and one of the most architecturally varied — mid-century ranches near Bear Creek, 1970s split-levels around Green Mountain, brick post-war homes near West Colfax, and newer townhomes and condos in Belmar. We bring the same two-person crew to all of it: interior painting, drywall, carpentry, cabinet refinishing, installations, and the routine repairs older Lakewood homes need.

About Lakewood

The community we serve

Lakewood was built out in waves — post-WWII brick ranches near old federal facilities, large 1960s and 1970s subdivisions in Bear Creek and Green Mountain, denser 1980s townhome and patio-home developments, and newer mixed-use infill in Belmar after the original Villa Italia mall came down. The result is a city where two homes a mile apart can be 60 years apart in age and construction style. Maintenance follows the same pattern as the broader west metro: older homes need plaster and trim attention, mid-tier homes need cabinet and finish refreshes, and newer townhomes need careful in-unit work that respects shared walls.

Local tip

Lakewood Homeowner Tip

Many Lakewood ranches and split-levels still have original 1970s textured walls. If you're planning a repaint, decide first whether you're keeping the texture, knocking it down, or skim-coating it smooth. Each path is a different prep — and a different price. Skim-coating gives the most modern finish but adds real time to the project.

FAQ

Questions from Lakewood homeowners

Quick answers on scope, pricing, and what to expect.

Each path is a different look and a different price. Keeping the texture is cheapest but reads as dated. Knockdown over the existing texture modernizes without full skim. Skim-coating to smooth gives the most current finish but adds real prep time. We'll show you each option in person before you decide.

Yes. We test for asbestos when warranted, scrape, skim-coat, prime, and finish. Almost always paired with a wall repaint, since once the ceiling is smooth the existing wall colors usually look tired by comparison.

Yes. Belmar units typically allow standard interior work with no special building rules, but we still stage carefully in shared corridors and parking and protect floors and elevators when needed. Painting, drywall, mounting, and finish work all translate cleanly into Belmar units.

Often yes. Many 1970s Lakewood kitchens have solid hardwood doors and quality boxes that look dated but are structurally excellent. Stripping, sanding, bonding primer, and a sprayed enamel modernizes them dramatically for a fraction of replacement.

Stair landings sit where two different framing systems meet, and that intersection moves more than typical interior walls. We use flexible compounds and mesh reinforcement at those joints, then blend texture so repairs don't re-crack at the first seasonal cycle.

Yes. Brick and block require masonry anchors and a hammer-drill setup with dust extraction so the work stays clean. We choose anchor type based on the load and the substrate — TV mounts, floating shelves, and art-rail systems all install securely on masonry.

Yes — main-floor carpet-to-LVP is one of the most-requested upgrades we do in Lakewood ranches and split-levels. We handle subfloor prep, transitions to existing tile or hardwood, and trim adjustments so the new floor reads as part of the original house.
