How preparation work happens

Preparation work has a date attached — a listing, a lease, a first frost. Our process plans backward from yours.

STEP 1

Walk-through & punch list

We look at the property with you (or your realtor or property manager), agree on what “ready” means, and build a clear scope of work.

STEP 2

Scheduled preparation work

Repairs, paint, and improvements happen on the schedule we set — with reliable communication at every stage, not radio silence.

STEP 3

Ready by your date

The property is ready to photograph, show, re-rent, or face the season — on the deadline we planned around, done right the first time.

Need a repair that doesn’t fit a category?

We still do that too. Dependable handyman repairs — drywall, doors, windows, flooring, lighting, carpentry — done right, on time, fully insured.

Questions people ask us

What does a Property Preparation Specialist actually do?

We get properties ready for a specific outcome — a sale, a new tenant, or a Maine season — instead of just fixing one thing at a time. That means building a scope around your deadline: pre-listing repairs and cosmetic improvements before a home goes to market, make-ready turnover work between tenants, or winterization and spring open-ups for homes and camps. The skill set is what you’d expect from a seasoned handyman; the difference is the plan behind it.

Do you work directly with realtors?

Yes — regularly. Agents hand us inspection punch lists and pre-listing to-do lists, and we return a home that’s ready to photograph and show. If you’re an agent with a listing that needs work before market, reach out and we’ll scope it together.

Can landlords schedule turnovers in advance?

That’s exactly how we prefer to work. Tell us when a lease ends and we’ll plan the make-ready window — repair sweep, patch and paint, fixture swaps — so the unit is ready to show as soon as possible after move-out.

Are you insured?

Fully insured on every job, every technician. Documentation is available on request.

Do you still take regular handyman and repair jobs?

Absolutely. Drywall, doors, windows, flooring, trim, lighting, carpentry — if it needs fixing, we fix it. Preparation is our specialty, but dependable repair work is the foundation it’s built on.

What areas do you serve?

We’re based in Bangor and serve Brewer, Orono, Old Town, Hampden, and Hermon in the Penobscot Valley, plus Lewiston and Auburn in the Twin Cities. Not sure if you’re in range? Call — we’ll tell you straight.
