Move-In and Move-Out Repairs in Phoenix

The list from the walk-through, the list before the deposit, the list of things the last owner left. One visit before the boxes, or one after.

Moving is the one time a whole house gets looked at closely. Buyers find the loose railing and the dead outlet. Renters find what the last tenant did. Landlords find what this tenant did. All of it is a list, and lists are what we do. Pictures, mirrors and curtain rods hung after the move, all the smoke detectors replaced, nail holes patched and paint touched up before moving out.

Moving in

The week between closing and moving in is the easiest time to work through the new-homeowner list, with the rooms empty. Change the locks. Replace the smoke detectors if they're past their date. Fix the doors that don't latch, the running toilet, the outlet that doesn't work. Patch the nail holes, paint the room that needs it. Add the closet shelving before the clothes go in.

Moving out of a rental

Getting the deposit back comes down to leaving the place the way it was. Nail holes filled and touched up, the scuffs along the hallway painted, the door the kids dented replaced, the shelf anchors pulled and patched. A short visit before the walk-through often costs less than the deductions.

Landlords between tenants

A rental turnover is a move-out and a move-in, usually in one visit.

Questions

How soon can you come before move-in?
Usually within the week. Send the list as soon as you have the keys and we'll schedule the empty days.
Can you do a walk-through with me?
Yes. Walking the house together finds things photos miss, and the quote comes from that.
