Landlord and rental repairs this page covers

Mid-lease work and turnovers both belong here. A numbered list is the most useful thing you can send.

Wall, door, and hardware repairs

Holes, rehung doors, missing stops, and other wear that shows up in student-heavy units. Drywall or plaster — say which if you know.

Small plumbing and fixture issues

Running toilets, dripping stops, and similar items. Licensed plumbing is arranged when the job requires it.

Turnover punch lists

A defined list before the next occupant, including detectors and other safety basics. We are not an electrical contractor selling panel upgrades.

What we decline as a 'quick rental job'

Full kitchen remodels, major leaks, or illegal unit conversions. If the list is actually a renovation, we'll say so.

How a request works

A straightforward path from your message to a clear price — then work only if you say yes.

  1. Send the list and the date

    Even a bullet list in the form is enough to start.

  2. We sort handyman items from licensed trades

    A running toilet or a bad receptacle may need a licensed plumber or electrician.

  3. A visit and a quote — then your OK

    If one item blows the scope, we’ll flag it instead of burying it. Access instructions and keys or a lockbox are on you to arrange safely.

Oakland and nearby rental streets

South Oakland, North Oakland, and the streets toward Shadyside and the Hill all have divided houses and small apartment buildings that turn over on academic calendars.

If your building is in Squirrel Hill, Shadyside, or the Hill District with the same kind of list, include the ZIP and we can tell you whether a visit can be arranged.

Questions

Can you guarantee the unit will be ready by a certain day?

We’ll be honest about timing once we see the list and the calendar. A guarantee we can’t keep won’t appear on this page.

Do you clean or just repair?

This page is for repairs. If you also need a cleaner, that’s a separate arrangement you make, unless you ask us to quote a specific cleaning task and we can actually provide it.

The tenant may have caused electrical damage.

Describe it. Electrical work is arranged with a licensed electrician when that’s what’s needed.

Can tenants write in?

They can, but we need the owner’s OK before arranging work on a rental.

Do you take photos for a deposit dispute?

We can document work we were asked to do. We are not a security-deposit arbitrator.

Who shows up?

A coordinator arranges the visit. A licensed contractor is used when the work requires one. You’ll know who is coming.

Request a visit

The punch list can be rough; the date and access notes should be clear.

List the unit ZIP or cross street, whether the tenant is in place or it's a turnover, the date if you have one, and the items that need attention.
