Timeline Playbook
Make Ready Turn Timeline for Single-Family Rentals
A step-by-step schedule that keeps Greater Houston property managers synchronized with tenants, trades, and owners while reducing vacancy days.
Pricing Built for Property Owners
Preferred property management pricing, clear estimates, and repair options that help protect owner budgets.
One Vendor for Almost Everything
Plumbing, HVAC, handyman, make readies, roofing, electrical, fencing, lawn maintenance, garage doors, and more.
Stop Babysitting Vendors
We contact the tenant, schedule the work, coordinate the repair, and keep your team updated without making you chase us.
Before and After Documentation
Photos, clear estimates, and completion notes show your team and the owner exactly what was done.
Typical make ready timeline
Start with trash out and inspection on day one so you can flag quick wins and hidden items before scopes go out. Days two and three are reserved for trade work—plumbing, electrical, drywall, and painting—bundled so nothing sits while approvals come back.
By day four our cleaning crew and handyman finalize the space, with post-clean photos added to the same ticket. Day five is the full close-out package that hits your owner ready inbox along with the invoice.
Approvals and PM coordination
- Send owner-ready scopes with options, pricing, and clear payoff statements before crews mobilize.
- Use one ticket for approvals, adding photos and notes as trades finish work.
- Automated status updates keep tenants, PMs, and owners aligned without chasing multiple emails.
These approvals tie back to our Houston property maintenance and Houston property maintenance workflows for consistent expectations.
Tenant coordination and sequencing
We block access windows, confirm keys, and notify tenants through your channel so our vendors never miss a slot. Crews arrive with the checklist, checking items off in the sequence that keeps a handover moving.
The goal: one smooth turnaround that keeps the property in market, the tenants satisfied, and your PM team focused on leasing.
