Should I do the project myself or hire a professional handyman?
The decision to take on a project yourself or hire a professional depends on several factors, including the complexity, time, your experience and skill level, and your overall budget. If the project requires special skills, it is best to hire a professional to ensure the job is done safely and correctly and avoid costly repairs later. If you are not sure, it is always a good idea to consult with a professional.

What are the top 3 turnover repairs that prevent expensive damage?
Under-sink leak checks, fresh tub/shower caulk where needed, and door/window sealing/adjustments. These reduce water intrusion, mold risk, and rot.
What should I always inspect after a tenant moves out?
Pipes under sinks, toilets for rocking/leaks, bath caulk, doors that stick, and any exterior wood or trim that looks soft or peeling.
Do I need to repaint every turnover?
Not always. Many landlords do targeted touch-ups (high-contact areas, corners, around door handles) and repaint only when scuffs/patches are noticeable.
Should I re-caulk every turnover?
Only when you see gaps, peeling edges, mold staining, or separation. Good caulk should be continuous and bonded—no cracks or lift.
Can you handle a punch list in one visit?
Yes—most turnover punch lists are ideal for bundling (caulk, minor drywall, door adjustments, hardware tightening, small carpentry).
