Guys,

My partner and I are in the process of starting a new one-stop - in between tenants renovation company and would like to get some feedback from you guys.

Here is a basic summary of what will be included in one of our customize-able service packages:

House Cleaning

General Areas - Dust walls/ceiling fans sills and ledges - Dust bulbs - Cobwebs - Dust baseboards - Dust window blinds - Wipe wood with Pledge - Sweep/Vacuum/mop floors - Wash inside of WindowsBathroom (s) - Clean and disinfect tub, toilet, shower, shower doors, and sink

-Scrub Floor - Clean all mirrors and glass - Scrub tile walls

Kitchen - Wash sink- Clean counter tops- Wipe in/outside cabinet doors- Wipe in/outside of appliances

- Sweep and mop floor- Load and run dishwasher- Clean in/outside of microwave- Collect and take out trash

- Wipe appliances- Clean in/outside of stove & refrigeratorBedroom (s)- Dust-walls, ledges, shelves, etc.

Painting

Use drop cloths to protect furniture, floors from paint

-Protect and mask necessary finished surfaces including door knobs, hinges, bathtubs, showers, cabinets, electrical outlets, fixtures and windows

-Caulk all joints at doors casings and jambs in order to maintain a sealed surface

-Caulk all joints around the windows where the window meets the drywall

Patch and/or repair of minor wall and ceiling blemishes prior to the application of paint

-Remove all masking from doors, windows, baseboards , walls, hinges, floors, etc.

-Remove and clean all over‐spray, drops, runs and spills from windows, hardware, doors, floors and non-painted finished surfaces

Carpet Cleaning / (Carpet Replacement - if necessary)

- Pre-inspection of carpet - Pre-condition heavily soiled areas with natural citrus based cleaners.- Removes as many stains as possible and provides natural deodorization.- Soil extraction with low moisture steam

- Application of fabric softener and color brighteners removes detergent residue according to manufacturers specifications, leaving fibers bright and soft with a silky feel.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The main idea behind it is to get the unit rent-ready as quickly as possible using very competitive pricing model. 

Here are my questions:

1. Would you be interested in a service like this?

2. What additional services would you like to see included in our package?

3. What would you be willing to pay (per Sq.Ft) for such a service?

We are estimating 3-4 day turnaround for a 1500 Sq Ft single family dwelling.

Thanks in advance for any feedback :)

@Mark Ainley is right - great subdivision but road noise coming from 59 is pretty bad. I know people that live in that subdivision and they always complain about the water. Also RE taxes tend to be on the high side. People I know pay little over 18k for slighly larger property.

Hey Jay,

I know someone locally that can help you with that. If I remember correctly they charge under $1000 for the whole thing. That includes articles of organization and everything else you may need.

Try "Rustoleum Cabinet transformation". It comes as a kit that includes everything you'll need to paint your cabinets (Primer, degreaser, clear coat etc.) I'vs used it few time and was very pleased with the results. The process is labor intensive - you can buy it at any Home Depot.
