Spend it where it comes back
Pre-listing updates, rental turns and full remodels — scoped by people who price houses for a living.
Renovation advice from the resale side
A contractor will build whatever you ask for. What they generally won’t tell you is which half of it an appraiser and a buyer will actually pay for in this zip code.
We scope from the other direction: what the comparable sales support, what buyers in that price band expect to see, and what to skip.
- Walkthrough and written scope
- Line-item estimate before anything starts
- Licensed and insured trades
- One point of contact for the whole job
Four kinds of job
-
Pre-listing refresh
Two to six weeks, usually
Paint, flooring, lighting, hardware, landscaping and the repair list from a pre-inspection. The work that changes the first photograph and the first impression, done before the listing goes live rather than negotiated off the price afterwards.
-
Kitchens and baths
The two rooms that move the number
Cabinet refacing through full replacement, counters, tile, fixtures and lighting. Scoped against what the comparable sales in the neighborhood actually support so the budget matches the return.
-
Rental turns
Between tenants
Fast, durable, and specified for wear rather than for a photo shoot. Coordinated with our property management side so the unit is back on the market with the shortest vacancy we can manage.
-
Investor and flip work
Whole-house
Full renovations on flips and value-add purchases, with the scope built from the exit price backwards. Works alongside the investment side of the brokerage.
Four steps, no surprises
-
Walk it together
We look at the property with you and talk through what you’re trying to achieve — sell it, rent it, or live in it longer.
-
Written scope and estimate
A line-item scope with what each piece costs and what we expect it to return. You decide what stays in and what comes out before any work is booked.
-
Schedule and build
Trades scheduled in the right order, one point of contact, and updates as the job moves rather than when you chase them.
-
Walkthrough and punch list
We walk it with you at the end, write the punch list down, and close it out before we call the job finished.
Not sure it’s worth doing?
That’s a fair question and often the answer is no. We’ll tell you either way.
