About make-ready / turn service in West End / Proctor

The West End and Proctor area of Tacoma has older homes, a walkable business district and streets lined with mature trees.

Older rentals in West End / Proctor often need extra touch-up and a few small repairs between tenants, which is why larger or older units are quoted after a walkthrough.

The make-ready turn starts at $995 for a typical unit: paint touch-up, a deep clean and miscellaneous fixes to get it rent-ready for the next tenant. Larger homes are quoted after a walkthrough, so you see the number before we start.

Mature trees and older sewer lines go together, and roots are a common reason a drain in an older West End home keeps coming back.
