What Alex does.
Small repairs and bigger projects, one person who can do a lot of trades in a visit. If it needs a licensed electrician, plumber or a permit, he says so up front.
01
Handyman repairs and punch lists
Doors, hardware, fixtures, caulking, TV mounting, shelving, grab bars.
The list of small things that never gets done. Doors that rub, loose hardware, fixture swaps, caulk, a TV on the wall, shelves, grab bars drilled into a tile shower without hitting what's behind it. Alex works through the list in one visit.
02
Drywall repair and texture matching
Patches, orange peel, knockdown, popcorn ceilings, water-damage repair.
Holes, cracks and water-damaged ceilings patched so you can't find them. Alex matches orange peel, knockdown and popcorn texture and repaints to a natural break, because a patch usually shows in the texture or the sheen, not the color.
03
Interior painting
Walls, ceilings and trim. Exterior painting and staining too.
A paint job is mostly prep: patching, caulking, sanding, priming, then clean lines. Alex does interior painting and also takes on exterior painting and staining. In an older home he'll talk about lead-safe practices before anyone scrapes.
04
Trim and finish carpentry
Trim, custom woodwork, beetle-kill pine, floating shelves and mantels.
The careful, visible work that makes a room look finished. Baseboard and casing scribed to a wall that isn't straight, a doorway in beetle-kill pine, floating shelves and a mantel anchored where they carry weight.
05
Tile
Backsplashes, tiled stairs, regrouting.
A subway-tile backsplash over wood paneling in Golden, a large-format tile staircase with a wood bullnose in Evergreen, cracked grout redone. Alex has filmed the how-to for both a backsplash and shower grab bars.
06
Deck and exterior repairs
Deck repairs, trim, siding touch-ups, rusted steel stairs.
Repairs, not new construction. Soft deck boards, loose railings, trim, siding touch-ups, steel stairs rebuilt and painted. If the problem is the ledger or the posts, that's structural, and Alex will say so and tell you who to call.
07
Rental turnovers and Realtor listing prep
Turnovers, punch lists and listing prep in one visit.
Landlords, property managers and Realtors send Alex the list: patch, paint, hardware, caulk, a door that sticks. One visit, one written list, and the place is ready for the next tenant or the photographer.
08
Small to mid-size remodels
Projects bigger than a punch list.
Alex takes on small to mid-size remodels, depending on scope and his schedule. Anything that moves walls, plumbing or wiring may need a licensed pro and a permit, and he'll tell you up front.
Mountain homes are different.
A house at 7,000 feet takes a beating a Denver house doesn't. This is general information from public sources, not a diagnosis of your house. Alex looks at yours.
Freeze and thaw
Water gets into concrete and wood, freezes and pushes it apart, and de-icing salt makes it worse. Rusting steel swells and cracks concrete from inside, so the damage you can see is usually less than the damage there is. Overnight temperature swings also loosen fasteners.
General home-repair guidance
Sun at 7,000 feet
Strong high-altitude sun fades exterior paint and stain faster. The usual advice is a UV-resistant stain or paint and a shorter refresh cycle on decks.
General guidance, not a lab number
Snow load
Jefferson County sets ground snow load by elevation, and Evergreen sits near 7,000 feet. A deck built or repaired with the wrong posts, footings or joists can fail under it, so repairs here are not a place to guess.
Older foothills homes
Homes built before 1980 can have asbestos in popcorn ceilings and wall texture, and homes built before 1978 can have lead paint. Both should be tested before anyone sands or scrapes. Ask Alex about it before work starts, and Cody will raise it too.
Wildfire-resistant choices
Embers, not flames, ignite most homes. They get in through vents, eaves and windows and collect on or under decks. When you replace deck boards, siding, trim or vents, ask about ember-resistant materials and fine metal mesh over vents.

What Cody does at 9 p.m. while Alex is on a ladder or asleep.
Cody is Alex's AI front desk. He picks up the phone and the chat, gives you safety steps first if something is leaking, asks about the job the way a good handyman would, asks for photos, and holds an estimate visit for Alex to confirm. He isn't a contractor and can't give a firm price, and he tells you when a job needs a licensed pro or a permit. He says he's an AI, every time.

“There's a water stain on my bedroom ceiling and it's spreading.”
Cody: Safety steps first, the job flagged urgent in Alex's brief, photos asked, an estimate opening held for him to confirm.
Illustrative moments. People and times are examples.
Alex, Deluxe Home Improvement, Evergreen
Meet Alex.
Alex owns Deluxe Home Improvement and runs it out of Evergreen. The photos here show him at work: hanging a cabinet door, leveling a floating shelf, touching up a stair rail.
He works on mountain homes, residential properties and rentals across the foothills and Denver metro area, and his customers keep saying the same few things. He shows up on time. He answers quickly. One person handled more trades than they expected.
He also films how he does the work. If you want to see how he thinks about a job before you call, start with the videos below. For anything a license or a permit covers, he'll say so up front.
Watch how he does it.

Questions people ask.
If yours isn't here, ask Cody, or call or text Alex.
What does Alex do?
Handyman repairs and punch lists, drywall repair and texture matching, interior painting (and exterior painting and staining), trim and finish carpentry, tile, deck and exterior repairs, rental turnovers and Realtor listing prep, and small to mid-size remodels.
Does he take small jobs?
Yes. A single door, a patch or a shelf is fine, and so is a bigger remodel. Small jobs often go together in one visit, which is how a lot of punch lists get done.
How does an estimate work?
Tell Cody or fill out the form about the job, and photos help. Alex looks at it and gives you an estimate based on the scope. Ask him about any charge for a visit. Nobody, including Cody, quotes a firm price before Alex has seen the job.
How much will it cost?
Alex prices each job after he sees it. If you want a rough idea first, Cody can share published price guides for the Denver area, labeled with their source and clearly not Alex's prices. Foothills drive time, small-job minimums and older homes can all push a job above a metro average.
Is Alex licensed?
Colorado doesn't have a state handyman license, so I won't tell you he holds one. Most of what he does, like painting, drywall patching, trim, shelving and fixture-for-fixture swaps, doesn't need a permit in Jefferson County. Anything that does, like decks over the height limits, structural work, new plumbing or wiring, or roofing, needs the right license and a permit, and Alex will tell you up front what your job needs.
Do I need a permit for my project?
Usually not for painting, patching, tile and trim. Usually yes for new wiring or plumbing, cutting into structure, roofing, and decks that are high enough off the ground. It depends on your town or county, so ask the building department, or ask Alex what he knows. In unincorporated Jefferson County the building safety line is 303-271-8260.
Is he insured?
Alex can send you his certificate of insurance. It's a fair thing to ask any contractor for, and Cody can flag the request for him.
My house is old. Does that change anything?
It can. Homes built before 1980 can have asbestos in popcorn ceilings and wall texture, and before 1978 there may be lead paint. Both should be tested before anyone sands or scrapes. Ask Alex before the work starts, and don't scrape a popcorn ceiling yourself first.
Does he do rental turnovers and listing prep?
Yes. Landlords, property managers and Realtors send him the list: patch, paint, hardware, caulk, doors that stick. Cody will scope it as one visit.
Can he match my paint and texture?
Alex does his best to match paint colors, textures and finishes so repairs blend in. Matching is skilled work, and old popcorn and hand-troweled textures are the hardest.
Where does he work?
Home base is Evergreen. His regular area is Evergreen, Conifer, Kittredge, Indian Hills, Idledale, Morrison, Genesee, Golden, Lakewood, Littleton, Wheat Ridge, Arvada, Denver and Highlands Ranch. Farther out, like Idaho Springs and Clear Creek County, Summit County and Silverthorne, he decides case by case.
How soon can he start?
It depends on his schedule and the size of the job. Alex gets back to people as soon as he can. Cody can get your request in front of him tonight.
Request an estimate.
Tell Alex what needs doing. He looks at it and gives you an estimate based on the scope of the job. Ask him about any charge for a visit.
