Need a handyman in Akron for interior paint and flooring...

[Michael Wentzel]

Hello everyone,

We have a portfolio of properties in Colorado, but recently made our first rental property purchase in the Midwest. It is a 4-plex in Akron and one of the units is vacant. I need some to do flooring and interior paint with a few other minor repairs. Are there any recommendations out there?

I actually already received a bid from a handyman that my new property management company sent out. I wasn't really excited about it. It was $2600 primarily for paint and flooring of a small unit. Nothing was itemized on the bid. Using the guys I know out in Colorado I think the bid would be $1000 less. So I'm not sure if costs are higher in Ohio (shouldn't be) or if this is literally the price of starting in a new market and building a team from the ground up.
