Landlords and Prop Managers.

[Gustavo Delgado]

Landlords and property managers. What are the top 3 'needs' that come up when you need to turn over a property for your next tenant? Do you normally have your ' go-to' crew or do you call around to get quotes?

Doing some research for company.

Great question, Gustavo. For most turnovers, the top three needs I consistently see are:

1. Paint and patchwork – Touching up walls, fixing nail holes, and making the place feel fresh again.

2. General repairs – Think loose doorknobs, leaky faucets, damaged blinds, or appliance issues.

3. Deep cleaning – Kitchens, bathrooms, floors, and windows need to be spotless for the next tenant.

If it’s a long term tenant moving out, sometimes flooring or light fixture updates come into play too.

As for labor, having a go-to crew is ideal. It saves time, ensures consistency, and helps avoid delays, especially if you’re managing multiple units. That said, I know some owners still shop around for quotes, especially on bigger repairs or when testing out new vendors.

Curious to hear what you’re seeing in the Houston market. Always interesting to compare notes across regions.
