Home Inspector, Cleaners, Handyperson

Home Inspector, Cleaners, Handyperson

New to Real Estate · CT · Member since 2022 · 3 posts · 1 vote

Good Afternoon All,

My wife and close friend of ours are in the final stages of purchasing a condo unit in the Windsor Hills community. We are first time vacation home buyers and plan on using the condo as a Short Term Rental property. We are coming to the community for some help prior to closing when it comes to finding a reputable and reliable home inspector for our inspection. 

We are also in search of reputable and reliable cleaners and handypersons once we close and begin to set the property up as a STR. Any help for new (and out of state) STR hosts would be kindly welcomed.

    Hi Richard, we are property managers and can definitely help on the cleaning and maintenance side. We have additional Windsor Hills units and know the community well - we also live nearby. PM me and I can send you the name of an inspector as well! Good luck with the property, it’s a great place to buy.

    Hey @Richard A Cannata, try Turno for cleaning.

    Also, maybe @Shawn McCormick will chime in and have some ideas. He knows a ton about that area.

    Thank you @Michael Baum. 

    HI @Richard A Cannata are you purchasing through a real estate agent? They should absolutely be able to recommend home inspectors. If not, I have several that I use and have even performed on condos in Windsor Hills for me. 

    Are you planning to use the services of a property manager? They should have on site trades for cleaning/handyman. Windsor Hills has a great FB group page for owners that can be very helpful, I would definitely check that out. 

    Best of Luck

    This question gets asked about every 73.2 hours.  Facebook groups.

    facebook groups or even reaching out to people who are hosting on the airbnb platform in that area if they have any good contacts they would be willing to share

    In addition to the sound suggestions above, Thumbtack has done well for me in the past.  Good luck!

    I would steer clear of Facebook groups in this market particularly. I would suggest sticking to references from industry pros like Alice or Shawn.

    We have strict contracting and handyman laws here in FL. Those Facebook groups tend to be where all the unqualified handymen, cleaners and themers hang out. I do not mean the Windsor Hills owner group that space has tons of good information!

    The majority of my clients self manage. I can refer you to a cleaner and we sometimes complete handyman / maintenance projects as well.
