Small jobs are hard to place in a town this size. The sticking door, the dead outlet and the TV that needs mounting rarely justify a crew driving up from the Front Range. Four of the 10 handyman businesses listed are based in Estes Park, and the other six come from Loveland, Longmont, Berthoud and elsewhere.
A good handyman knows where the job stops. Hire the local one for the door, drywall and fixtures, and call a licensed trade when it turns into a panel, a gas line or a leak behind the wall.
Based in Estes Park
A garbage disposal that hums and does nothing, a soft spot in the subfloor, a basement that needs rebuilding: these are the jobs Kevin Mullen gets called for. He is a licensed and insured handyman based about five miles out of downtown, and the list also covers drywall, trim, doors, cabinets, fixtures, bathrooms, kitchens, irrigation repair and tired decks.
A breaker that keeps tripping, a range hood that needs hanging, an exterior door that has to be replaced: Dr. Dan The Handyman takes the jobs too small for a contractor and too fussy for a weekend.
No job too small is the whole pitch, and Mountain Solutions means it: drywall patches and installs, interior painting, ceiling fans, water fixture repairs, furniture assembly and general home repairs, with some remodeling when a project grows. The base is out toward the Fall River entrance to the Park, about five miles from downtown.
Once the snow starts, this mobile outfit adds sidewalk and driveway clearing to a list that already runs from drywall and flooring repair to exterior painting, ceiling fans, gutter cleaning and furniture assembly. 7522' Home Services & Security comes to the property, and the owner prefers to see the job in person before quoting.
Serves Estes Park from the Front Range
Buying a cabin on a well is where Quality Home Inspections earns its fee. The Loveland company comes up to Estes and tests well systems, water quality, radon and mold alongside the standard inspection, and Drew, who runs it, is a licensed radon technician.
If the stucco on the sunny side of the house is cracked and chalky, this is the outfit that comes up most for both the repair and the repaint. Door staining and garage door repaints are the other common jobs.
Berthoud is home base for this heating and air company, which trades as XXXTREME Heating and Air and counts Estes Park in its service area. Furnaces, AC, boilers, heat pumps, mini-splits, water heaters, gas lines and fireplaces are all on the list.
Quality, low cost, speed: pick two. That's how Zach Steinkamp of Foothills Homes frames every project, and he runs each one himself, from the written estimate to the final walkthrough.
Sprinkler lines need blowing out before the hard freeze, and NoCo Service Pros is a Northern Colorado outfit that comes up to Estes to do it. The same crew handles plumbing and electrical, HVAC service and thermostat installs, dryer vent cleaning, and maintenance plans that cover the furnace in fall and the air conditioner in spring.
The owner is a second-generation painter whose father learned the trade from craftsmen working since the 1940s, and over more than thirty years the company has painted commercial buildings, farms, churches, steel tanks and hundreds of houses. It started out as Ferrell's Painting and took the Cougar Valley name in 2005, a nod to an old name for cougars: painters.

Four local handymen are listed: Kevin Mullen Builds, Dr. Dan The Handyman, Mountain Solutions and 7522' Home Services & Security. Their lists overlap on drywall, doors, fixtures and mounting, but each has a lean. Dr. Dan's tilts technical, with electrical subpanels, breakers, GFCI and 240-volt outlets, generators and thermostats. Kevin Mullen lists drywall, doors, trim, cabinets, bathrooms and kitchens, and is licensed and insured. Mountain Solutions works from the motto that no job is too small.
7522' Home Services & Security is a mobile business that adds home watch, winter plowing of sidewalks and driveways, and 24-hour emergency calls to its repair list, which is useful for a house that sits empty between guests. From outside the valley, Foothills Homes in Longmont is a carpenter and electrician who handles each project himself, and NoCo Service Pros lists plumbing, HVAC, electrical and repairs and names Estes Park in its service area.
Four of the 10 list residential work and 1 lists commercial. Two offer free estimates, 3 list 24-hour emergency calls and 1 is marked licensed. Handyman scope is where trouble starts, so for electrical or plumbing beyond a fixture swap, ask what the person is licensed to do. Short punch lists go fastest when you send a written list ahead, and the calendar fills in summer.
Dr. Dan The Handyman lists electrical subpanels, breakers, GFCI and 240-volt outlets, wiring and generators. Foothills Homes, a Longmont carpenter and electrician, also lists electrical work. For anything major, confirm licensing and what the job needs before booking.
Three list 24-hour emergency calls: 7522' Home Services & Security in Estes Park, LIME Painting of Northern Colorado and XXXTREME Services LLC. The last two are a painting company and an HVAC company, so ask what an emergency call covers for your situation.
Often, yes. Mountain Solutions lists TV mounting and furniture assembly, Dr. Dan The Handyman lists TV mounts and appliance installs, and 7522' Home Services lists TV mounting and appliance removal. Describe the wall and the job when you call.
Most of the Estes Park handymen do. Kevin Mullen Builds, Dr. Dan The Handyman, Mountain Solutions and 7522' Home Services all list drywall work. For a larger patch or texture matching, North Pro Finish is listed under painters.
