What I do here

Working in Englewood.

Englewood is one of the metro's genuinely old suburbs — compact blocks of 1940s–1960s bungalows and ranches around a real downtown on South Broadway. Houses that age have charm and good bones, and they also have original everything: the plumbing, the doors, the electrical service, all installed by people who retired decades ago.

The single thing Englewood calls me about most is water heaters — repair, replacement, and the where-is-that-water-coming-from emergency. In housing this age the water heater is often the oldest working appliance in the house, and it rarely announces its retirement in advance. I handle those fast, and the rest of the list — appliances, gutters, fences, doors — batches in right behind.

Englewood's core stock is 1940s–1960s bungalows and ranches, with scattered newer infill. Expect original galvanized-era plumbing meeting modern fixtures, water heaters and appliances at or past their design life, sixty-year-old doors that have moved with the clay, and mature-tree gutters that earn their cleanings. Small lots, established blocks, real workmanship worth preserving.

Permit and inspection rules are set locally — Englewood’s are published by City of Englewood. I’ll tell you when a job needs one.

Who shows up

Hi, I'm Zack.

Fifteen years on the tools across the west Denver metro. When you call, you get me — not a dispatcher, not a rotating crew, and not a different guy than the one who quoted it.

I'm a licensed, insured general contractor, so I can take the whole job rather than the half of it a handyman is allowed to touch. I don't charge for drive time and materials get passed through at what I paid.

“Great work, great communication, great follow-through. I'm very impressed with the attic fan install Zack did, which involved long, hot work amidst blown-in insulation. He made himself available quickly and then stayed late to finish the job. Thanks Zack.”

Common questions

Englewood FAQs

Quick answers to the questions I hear most from Englewood homeowners.

Yes — Englewood is on my list and it's an easy run over on Hampden or down Santa Fe, no drive-time charge. It sits right alongside Littleton and Centennial in my regular south-metro rotation, so scheduling out here is routine, not a special trip.

Depends on age and where it's leaking, and I'll tell you honestly which it is. A tank leaking from the bottom is done; a valve or fitting leak is often a cheap fix. Englewood's housing age means I replace a lot of water heaters out here — gas and electric both, connections included, sized to your household rather than to what's convenient.

It's the opposite — houses that age are what I work on all day. The materials are different from modern construction and the repairs reward someone who's seen them before: plaster instead of drywall in places, dimensional lumber, original hardware worth keeping. I fix what's there rather than tearing out character to make the job easier.

Water heaters first, by a distance. Then appliance repairs, gutter cleanings under the mature trees, fence sections after wind, and the accumulated small stuff — doors, fixtures, drywall — that a sixty-year-old house generates on schedule. Bring the whole list; one visit through it is the cheapest way to buy the work.
