Built for property managers and realtors
When a unit goes vacant, every day costs you. We move quickly through the full turn: drywall patches and paint, hardware and fixture swaps, rekeys, junk removal, and a landscaping cleanup so the curb appeal matches the interior. One crew, one point of contact, one invoice.
Punch-list and pre-listing work
Heading to market? We knock out the punch list that makes a listing photograph well and pass inspection cleaner: the cosmetic refresh, the small repairs, and the details buyers notice. Send us the list and we'll work it methodically.
Reliable enough to put on call
Managers come back to us because we show up when we say we will and the work holds up. Our office coordinates scheduling so you're not chasing a crew between tenants.
Frequently asked
- How fast can you turn a unit?
- It depends on scope and condition, but turns are our bread and butter and we schedule them tight. Send the unit details and our office will give you a realistic timeline with the quote.
- Do you handle junk removal and haul-off?
- Yes. Clearing out what the last tenant left behind is part of a clean turn, and we can haul it off as part of the make-ready.
- Can you work across multiple properties?
- Absolutely. We work with property managers who keep us on call for recurring turns and maintenance across their portfolios.

Solid work and communication. Replaced some water damaged wood flooring and also fixed another issue with the water that wasn't their fault. Hire these people. :)

Excellent service! I called Handy Hippie to help with a broken cabinet, and Jeremiah was absolutely fantastic. He was highly professional, efficient, and did a perfect job on the repair. I’m so happy with the results and will definitely be using their handyman services again in the future!

I highly recommend Mark and his team at The Handy Hippie. We called them, and they came out when they said they would and did the work like they said they would. It's hard to find a great handyman, especially one who will show up. The Handy Hippie is the best handyman company in Austin.

Handy Hippie sent over a handyman named Patrick who was really great! He was professional, friendly, and handled all the random jobs that I needed a second pair of hands to accomplish. Pricing was reasonable too. Strong recommend, would hire again
