Hi,
I have been lucky enough to have had the same tenants in my duplex since I bought it 4 years ago but I now have to do my first turnover of a unit and I am likely going to have the other one turnover in the next 6 months as well. Wondering about how long it takes most people to get a unit in order before the next tenants can move in? Do you have issues with renting mid-month? I have someone to assist with a number of the repairs; painting, replace the sink, new locks, etc. but also need to replace the carpet and would prefer to have someone else do the cleaning of the unit if possible. Any people or companies that you would recommend for carpets and for move-out cleaning in the North Seattle area? I wouldn't mind a recommendation for yard maintenance either, someone who could do weeding and pruning of various shrubs and trees without bringing completely butchering them would be good (this has been an issue).
Heather, my information i old, but since no one else is answering your question.....
I used to live in Tacoma. I had good results finding a skilled handy man using Yellow Van Handyman. I cannot remember the tradesman name, and he worked in Pierce County, but we chatted as he worked. He felt that the Yellow Van Handyman franchise did a good job of screening their franchisees. He did quite a bit of work for me as we were getting our house ready to sell in 2013. He was skilled, dependable and efficient.
