About
Hi! I am Chris, the owner and sole handyman behind Trailhead Trades. I live and work in the Idaho Springs & Evergreen community and I have built this business around one simple principle:
doing things the right way, with honesty and transparency.I was burned by a contractor when purchasing my home in 2022 and I am dedicated to do things differently. I personally handle every job myself. No subcontractors. No surprises. I quote upfront, never start extra work without your approval, and send photo updates on every project.My goal is not to be the biggest company. It is to be the most trusted one. When you hire me, you get honest work from someone who actually cares.
Serving Mountain Communities of Colorado
Living in the mountains requires a home that is built and maintained to withstand the elements. As a local mountain resident, I specialize in the unique repair, upkeep, and weatherization needs of mountain properties. Whether it is preparing your home for winter, handling routine maintenance, or tackling those nagging “to-do” list items, nothing is too small and I am dedicated to providing safe, reliable, and high-quality craftsmanship.If you are interested in learning more,
