  • Drywall repair and patching
  • Flooring and bathroom floor replacement
  • Doors, trim, and molding

Rental Turnover & Make-Ready

Make-ready is the repair and refresh work that gets a rental ready for the next tenant between leases. We work for landlords across the Metro East and St. Louis, handling the punch list so a unit turns over fast and shows well.

One of our recent rental jobs is the review at the bottom of this site: a tenant had a bathroom floor that was, in the owner's words, a nightmare. We replaced it, explained the work, and left it ready to go.
