The Starting Point
What we walked into.
The outgoing tenant left the property full of trash, discarded furniture, and personal belongings, along with wall and ceiling damage that needed repair before the unit could go back on the market.
01
Whole-house clutter and debris
Every room held leftover furniture, trash bags, disassembled bikes, and personal items, including a kitchen refrigerator still full of food left behind.
02
Wall and ceiling damage
Multiple rooms had nail clusters, drywall holes, marker and crayon scribbles, and a ceiling hole around a light fixture box that needed patching and repainting.
03
Dated, worn kitchen
Original cabinets were sound but the flooring and countertop were worn down and needed replacing to make the kitchen rentable again.
