How it works
- Send us the work order with the tenant's phone number, by text, by call or through the book-now form.
- Our assistant texts the tenant and schedules the visit with them directly.
- Doug does the work at the confirmed price, and you get the report.
Tacoma's East Side, including the McKinley area, has mid-century homes, older bungalows and a mix of rentals and owner-occupied houses.
In mid-century East Side / McKinley rentals, running toilets, dripping faucets and dead outlets are some of the most common requests.
Many East Side houses have had a few owners and a few repairs, so we look at what was done before we price a new fixture or a leak.
Common tenant requests in East Side / McKinley
- Faucet dripping
- Garbage disposal humming
- No hot water
- Leak under the sink
- GFCI will not reset
- Light switch not working
- Running toilet
