Address Safety and Code Compliance For Closing and Maximize Curb Appeal, Property Value and Attract Buyers

Exterior Enhancements – Boost Curb Appeal

First impressions matter, and a well-maintained exterior can attract more buyers, speed up the sale, and increase offers. Our pre-listing services focus on key upgrades that enhance curb appeal, ensuring your home looks its best. From fresh paint and power washing to landscaping and gutter maintenance, we create a welcoming and polished appearance that leaves a lasting impact.

  • Professional Painting (Exterior & Trim) –

    A fresh coat of paint is one of the most cost-effective ways to refresh a home’s look and make it stand out. We provide high-quality finishes tailored to enhance the property’s best features.

  • Power Washing (Siding, Walkways & Driveways) –

    A clean exterior can make a home look newer and well cared for. We remove dirt, mold, and stains to restore siding, decks, fences, and concrete surfaces’ vibrancy.

  • Gutter Cleaning & Repair –

    Prevent water damage and ensure a well-maintained appearance. Clean, functional gutters signal to buyers that the home has been properly cared for.

  • Landscaping & Yard Clean-Up –

    A neat, attractive yard invites buyers in. We trim bushes, remove debris, refresh mulch, and enhance garden beds to give the property a polished look.

Interior Repairs and Upgrades – Creating A Move-In Ready Space

A clean, updated interior makes a home more inviting, helping it sell faster and often at a higher price. Our pre-listing services focus on key improvements that enhance appeal and ensure buyers can envision themselves living in the space. From fresh paint and modern fixtures to deep cleaning and minor repairs, we take care of the details that make a lasting impression.

  • Interior Painting & Touch-Ups –

    Neutral, modern colors appeal to more buyers and create a fresh, inviting atmosphere. We handle everything from full-room repaints to minor touch-ups that erase scuffs and wear.

  • Fixture & Hardware Updates –

    Replacing outdated light fixtures, cabinet hardware, and doorknobs is a quick, budget-friendly way to modernize a space.

  • Deep Cleaning Services –

    A spotless home feels more valuable. We can arrange deep cleaning, including carpets, windows, kitchens, and bathrooms, so the home is truly move-in ready.

  • Minor Repairs & Patching –

    Small imperfections like nail holes, cracked trim, or squeaky doors can make a home feel neglected. We ensure everything looks well-maintained and in top condition.

Safety & Code Compliance

Bringing a home up to code can feel overwhelming, but we simplify the process. From installing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors to securing water heater straps and addressing other critical safety upgrades, we ensure your home meets compliance standards. Our detail-oriented team understands inspection requirements, helping you avoid costly setbacks and ensuring a seamless path to closing.

  • Required Smoke Detectors/Carbon Monoxide Detectors:

    These are fundamental safety requirements and their absence can easily hold up a closing.

  • Water Heater Not Properly Strapped (in earthquake zones):

    This is a major safety concern in areas prone to earthquakes.

  • Unsafe Stairs or Handrails:

    These pose a direct safety hazard.
