A property management turnover and handyman service is basically the team that gets a rental home **ready for the next tenant** and keeps the property in good shape. Think of it as the “make‑ready crew” plus the “fix‑anything crew.” Here’s how it typically breaks down:
# # 🏡 What “Turnover Services” Usually Include
Turnover happens when one tenant moves out and another is about to move in. The goal is to reset the property to a clean, safe, rentable condition.
**Common turnover tasks:**
- **Move‑out inspection** to document damage and needed repairs
- **Deep cleaning** (kitchens, bathrooms, appliances, floors, windows)
- **Painting or touch‑ups**
- **Carpet cleaning or replacement**
- **Changing locks or rekeying**
- **Minor repairs** (holes in walls, broken blinds, loose fixtures)
- **Replacing consumables** (air filters, smoke detector batteries, light bulbs)
- **Ensuring everything works** (HVAC, plumbing, appliances, electrical)
Turnover is all about speed + quality, because every day the unit sits empty is lost rent.
# # 🔧 What a “Handyman Service” Does
A handyman service handles **general repairs and maintenance** that don’t require a licensed specialist.
**Typical handyman tasks:**
- Fixing leaky faucets or running toilets
- Repairing drywall
- Installing shelves, blinds, or fixtures
- Minor electrical work (like replacing outlets or light fixtures)
- Minor carpentry
- Door and lock repairs
- Appliance troubleshooting
- Seasonal maintenance (like weatherstripping or gutter cleaning)
They’re the go‑to for everyday issues that pop up during a tenancy.
# # 🧩 How They Work Together
Property managers love having a combined turnover + handyman service because it:
- Reduces downtime between tenants
- Keeps maintenance costs predictable
- Ensures consistent quality
- Simplifies communication (one team handles most issues)
It’s basically a one‑stop shop for keeping rental properties in good condition.
