Baseboard and trim replacement instead of another repaint
Seventy years of paint layers fill the profile and crack at the seams. On most ranch homes here, pulling and replacing the run is faster and looks better than one more coat.

Sheridan sits along South Santa Fe Drive between Englewood and Littleton.
Sheridan is one of the smallest cities in Colorado by area, tucked between Englewood and Littleton along South Santa Fe Drive, and its housing stock runs heavily toward post-war ranch homes built in the 1950s and 60s. Older homes mean older everything — original doors that stick seasonally, original grout that's seen better decades, and baseboards painted over enough times that they need replacing rather than touching up.
What we get called for in Sheridan
Original bathroom grout and tile at end of life
Mid-century tile is often sound while the grout around it has failed completely. Cutting the old grout out to depth and replacing it protects what is behind the wall.
Seasonal door binding in settled frames
Ranch homes on this ground move enough that doors bind in one season and swing loose in the next. Hinge adjustment and strike relocation solve it far more often than a new door.
Single-story gutter runs with long, shallow pitch
Low ranch rooflines mean long horizontal gutter runs that hold standing water once pitch drifts. Re-pitching sections matters as much as clearing them.
Hard-water spotting on original single-pane and storm windows
Older glass with years of sprinkler overspray needs mineral treatment, not just washing, and the storm window tracks need clearing at the same time.
Local tip: Book the fall gutter visit before the first hard freeze
Low-pitch ranch roofs give water very little help draining. Once a shallow run freezes at the eave, meltwater backs up under the shingle edge and reaches the fascia — the single most preventable winter repair in Sheridan's housing stock.
Sheridan questions
Closely in most cases. Some mid-century profiles are no longer stocked, so we show you the nearest available option before any cutting starts.
Yes, and it is quick. Adjusting hinges and the strike plate normally holds through both seasons rather than trading one problem for another.
Yes, the whole city. It is small enough that travel is never a scheduling obstacle for us.
