Handyman in Killeen TX
We own a few rentals in Killeen and currently looking for an honest, reputable Handyman that can help us with rent-ready preparation and occasional minor repairs. Currently have a small unit near the main entrance to Fort Hood that needs painting and minor work in preparation for renting.
Thanks!

Hello David,
Thank you for the prompt response. Unfortunately, we've worked with 5 different property managers in the 6-7 years we've held these properties and every time we have a vacancy, our tab for cleaning and preparing has been overpriced. In addition, average costs for things like backed-up drains, toilets, and misc simple repairs are 3-4 times what we pay for properties here in the LA area. As a result, I'm looking for resources outside of that circle that understands this scenario and can perform honest, competitively priced work.
Alternatively, we would also consider pursuing a good property manager, that provides transparency with us and their contractors, handyman, etc... In this consideration, we would like an understanding of ''canned'' project costs for the typical, respective type of work while also allowing us to provide our contacts when costs are unreasonable from their providers. Of course, circling back to my original post question.
Thanks again for your input.
