- Loose handrails, doors that stick or will not latch, missing door stops and torn or bent screens repaired
- Failed caulk, cracked grout, loose trim and small drywall damage on the report fixed and photographed
How it works
- Read the inspection report and sort the items into handyman work and licensed-trade work
- Write up a scope for the handyman items so buyer and seller can agree on them before the deadline
- Do the repairs and take before-and-after photos of each item for the agents
- Referred out: hardwired alarms, wiring, electrical panels, plumbing, water heaters, furnaces, gas and roof items go to licensed trades, and any repair the contract says must be done by a licensed contractor is left to one
