Rental Turnover and Apartment Make-Ready
A make-ready takes a unit from move-out condition to ready for the next tenant. Handyman Randy provides rental turnover services in Palmdale and Lancaster for single family homes, duplexes, condos and apartment units.
What We Repair
Walls and paint: Nail holes, dents and scuffs repaired and the unit repainted or touched up in your standard colors.
Doors and hardware: Damaged doors, broken hinges, loose handles and worn locks repaired or replaced.
Floors and baseboards: Damaged flooring sections, loose transitions and chewed or broken baseboards repaired or replaced.
Fixtures and small items: Blinds, towel bars, cabinet pulls, light covers, outlet covers and smoke alarms replaced where missing or broken.
How We Work
We walk the unit first and give you one written quote for the full list, broken out by item so you can approve or skip each one. Work is done in the right order, with repairs first, then paint, then floors and fixtures, so no one undoes anyone else's work. When we're done, you get photos of the finished unit.
Materials We Use
We recommend durable, easy to match materials for rentals. One standard wall color, one trim color and common hardware finishes across your units make every future touch-up faster and cheaper. If you already have standards, we follow them.
Make-Ready for Landlords and Property Managers
We work with single property landlords, investors with a handful of units and property management companies with larger portfolios. The more units we turn for you, the better we know your standards, and the faster each turnover goes.
Turnaround
Most standard turnovers are finished in a few days. Units with heavy damage, full repaints or new flooring take longer, and we give you the timeline in writing before we start.
