Who shows up

Hi, I'm Zack.

Fifteen years on the tools across the west Denver metro. Every vacant day is rent you don't collect, and a move-out punch list is engineered to need five trades for one day each.

I work the whole list in trade order instead, and because I'm licensed I can carry the plumbing and electrical items that stall other handymen mid-list.

What’s covered

Rental Turnover & Make-Ready services in Denver, CO

Everything under this heading, handled on the same visit where the job allows.

How it works

From your list to done

  1. Step 01

    Send me the list

    Call, text, or use the form. Photos help more than descriptions do — most jobs can be quoted from a picture without a site visit.

  2. Step 02

    Get a real number back

    Usually within one business day, itemized, with materials at cost and no charge for driving out to you.

  3. Step 03

    I show up and fix it

    The person who quoted your job is the person who does it. Batch a few items into one visit and the whole list costs less than two separate trade calls.

“Great work, great communication, great follow-through. I'm very impressed with the attic fan install Zack did, which involved long, hot work amidst blown-in insulation. He made himself available quickly and then stayed late to finish the job. Thanks Zack.”

Common questions

Rental Turnover & Make-Ready FAQs

Quick answers to the questions Denver homeowners and businesses ask me most.

How fast can you turn a unit?

It depends on what the tenant left behind — a light turn (patch, paint touch-up, fixtures, cleaning coordination) moves in days; a hard turn with full repaint, flooring, and appliance work runs longer. What compresses the calendar is one contractor working the whole list in the right order rather than five trades waiting on each other. Walk me through the unit — in person or on video — and I'll commit to a date.

Can you handle units when I'm out of state?

Yes — remote owners are a natural fit for how I work. You get a walkthrough with photos and a scoped list before work starts, progress photos as it moves, and a finished set good enough to build your listing from. Lockbox or property-manager access both work, and invoices come per-property so your bookkeeping doesn't have to untangle anything.

Do you do ongoing maintenance for landlords, or just turnovers?

Both, deliberately — turnover work is how most landlords find me, and the standing arrangement is why they keep my number. Mid-lease repairs get scheduled directly with your tenant when you want them to be, documented with photos, and batched where possible so small items don't each carry their own visit. One licensed contractor covering plumbing, electrical, appliances, and everything else on this site is the whole pitch.

Can you give a landlord one invoice across several properties?

Yes — a single written estimate and invoice covering multiple units is normal for me, and much easier to reconcile than one per door. I'll photograph before and after each unit so you have documentation for deposits without having to visit. Materials go on at cost, which matters more when you're doing this several times a year.
