Advice/referrals for rental repairs and cleaning in Seattle

[Heather Hearsey]

Hi,

I have been lucky enough to have had the same tenants in my duplex since I bought it 4 years ago but I now have to do my first turnover of a unit and I am likely going to have the other one turnover in the next 6 months as well.  Wondering about how long it takes most people to get a unit in order before the next tenants can move in? Do you have issues with renting mid-month?  I have someone to assist with a number of the repairs; painting, replace the sink, new locks, etc. but also need to replace the carpet and would prefer to have someone else do the cleaning of the unit if possible. Any people or companies that you would recommend for carpets and for move-out cleaning in the North Seattle area?  I wouldn't mind a recommendation for yard maintenance either, someone who could do weeding and pruning of various shrubs and trees without bringing completely butchering them would be good (this has been an issue).

Thanks so much for any and all advice!!!
