About make-ready / turn service in South Tacoma

South Tacoma has mid-century single-family homes, small businesses along its main avenues and some light industrial areas.

Mid-century rentals in South Tacoma usually need paint touch-up, a deep clean and a handful of fixes between tenants, which fits a standard turn.

The point is one crew and one flat number between tenants, instead of coordinating a painter, a cleaner and a handyman. Send the move-out photos and your punch list and we price it; plumbing and electrical items on the list can use our posted flat rates.

Mid-century South Tacoma homes commonly have original drain and supply lines still in service, and updates tend to happen one room at a time.
