Handy Man Services

Often times, it's not a major overhaul of your property that is needed to get it ready for sale. Typically it's just minor touch ups of small deferred maintenance items, minor painting, re-caulking, replacing old lights or fixtures, fixing minor leaks, polishing cabinets and fixtures, repairing out of date electrical outlets, etc. Hiring a handy man team, especially one like this team that offers some of everything, is an inexpensive way to add tremendous value to your sale. Typically these small fixes are what bring you the most return on investment, and make it show the way that will help it sell faster and for the most money. For just a couple hundred dollars you can eliminate variables during the inspection period, you can make your property show substantially better, and you can add thousands of dollars to your sale. Consult with our team on what items should be prioritized if you are in a position to make any changes so we can ensure you receive maximum return.

Moving Services - Cross Country

For Cross Country moving it's important to get multiple quotes as their pricing will vary and their insurances against damages will vary. Most moving companies will price based on both volume and distance, in addition to the preparation they offer for packing, loading, and unloading/unpacking. Here are a few great companies to get quotes from - (In no particular order) 1. https://crosscountrymovers.com/ 2. https://www.unitedvanlines.com/moving-services/cross-country 3. https://www.allied.com/household-moving-company/cross-country-moving 4. https://www.mayflower.com/moving-services/cross-country-movers 5. https://twomenandatruck.com/long-distance-moving

Mobile Shredding and Electronics Recycling

Most people accrue boxes of old paperwork that hold no current purpose and it takes hours and hours to go through it, not to mention the personal shredders burning out after just a small stack. Hire a local pro who will bring a shredding truck right to your house and will charge you based on the boxes. 6 milk-crate sized boxes for about $65. This company can also take away old electronics like computers, scanners, printers, and more. If there is sensitive information on the hard drives, they can properly dispose of, and certify the safe disposal of the information.

Roofer / Siding / Gutter Contractor

Having a good roofer can save you thousands of dollars. When filing a claim especially, a great roofer can be the difference of getting denied, and getting your roof fixed AND your gutters, vents and siding. Call Richard Colcas at Soderberg Roofing (970) 779-4082 rccolcas@yahoo.com I trained Richard when he was becoming a Realtor, which he still does sometimes, but he is the most timely, attentive, and actionable roofer I know. He will take care of you and for a fair price.

Flooring

Whether you need new floors for your current home or your next, it's important to have a reputable flooring company at your disposal. I find that often the bigger companies, while not supporting local by using them, will give you a wider set of options on your flooring needs, with a faster availability, a better warranty, and more. If your flooring is in need of replacement and the rest of the house is in better condition, it can be a positive return on investment to replace your flooring. Having consistent flooring throughout the home will be to your benefit, and flooring that looks and smells nice. Of course if you cannot move in and out all of your things, this is not possible sometimes. That and if you do not have the time. In addition to Carpet Exchange locations, try: Home Depot Lowes

Equipment Rentals - Denver Area

If you need to rent some equipment for your upcoming move, you can do so for a reasonable price at Arvada Rentals or a similar company. For example, if you have cigarette smoke smell and want to kill the smell with an Ozone machine you can rent one for a day. Or if you need to do a dusty or smelly project and want to get a air scrubber with a negative air pressure feature. Or perhaps you need a high quality pressure washer to clean the exterior of your house, your deck, walkways, and patio to wash away decades of grit. If this location is not near you, type: "Equipment Rentals Near Me" into Google.

Linked to the left is thumbtack where you can type in what you need and you can get someone on demand that offers that service that has been reviewed by local homeowners.

I do this for many tasks in my neighborhood especially a quick clean, mowing, edging, power wash of the walkway, etc.

Clean and organized is sometimes the best solution when preparing your house to sell. Not all homes need major, or even minor modifications or replacements made. Think about if you were a buyer, what would be the most important to you when going through the house.
