Sub-Zero Wine and Undercounter Repair in University Park

University Park sits between Platt Park and University Hills, and the houses share what both of those have: a kitchen opened up in a remodel and a basement that was finished later. Denver Sub-Zero Repair Pros works the whole of this pocket, and on these streets the wine cabinet is almost always downstairs rather than in the kitchen.

Working in University Park

The stock here is early-century brick — bungalows, Denver Squares and a scattering of Tudors — on lots deep enough that almost every one has been extended at the back. The basements were finished decades after the houses were built, so a bar in one is usually framed against the foundation wall with the cabinetry built round whatever appliance was bought that year. That makes the appliance very hard to get out and very easy to seal in.

What tends to be fitted here

Undercounter wine cabinets in basement bars, nearly always with a plinth or a decorative panel across the grille; the occasional integrated column upstairs in a remodelled kitchen; and beverage fronts under an island where the exhaust has nowhere to go but back into the cupboard it is standing in.

Asked in University Park

Can you get a cabinet out of a finished basement bar?

Usually, and the phone call is where that gets decided rather than the doorstep. What matters is whether the plinth comes off, whether the counter overhangs the top of the unit, and how the stairs turn. Tell Denver Sub-Zero Repair Pros those three things and the visit is planned around them instead of discovering them.

Is the basement a bad place for a wine cabinet?

Not at all — a cool, stable room is the best thing that can happen to one. The problem is never the room, it is the cupboard: a cabinet needs air in at the grille and out again, and a bar built tight around it stops that happening. If yours is sealed in, ask Denver Sub-Zero Repair Pros on (720) 790-9436 what can be cut back.

  • Twenties Tudor in Park Hill, and the built-in is boxed into original cabinetry, so I expected scratched paint the moment anyone moved it. He rolled it out on boards, cleaned a condenser packed solid with cottonwood fluff, and it cycles properly again.

  • Freezer column iced over so badly the bottom drawer stopped sliding. Defrost sensor had drifted out of spec, not the sealed system another shop had guessed at. He showed me the readings first.

    Hollis B.Platt Park

  • Our cooler sits under the island and the temperature alarm kept tripping in the night. A worn latch was letting the door drift open a hair. New latch and hinge. Two visits, hence four stars.
