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.
Can I send an inspection or punch list?
Yes. Send the report or list with the target date. We will turn the applicable items into a clear scope and identify anything that needs more information.

Handy Hippie - Quality Workmanship, Fair Pricing, and People Who Truly Care As we prepared to move into our new home, we had a long list of projects that needed to be completed, and Handy Hippie absolutely delivered. Their team helped us install 17 window blinds throughout the house, mount and align multiple bathroom mirrors, install cabinet hardware, upgrade cabinet doors with soft-close hinges, and install bathroom accessories including towel bars, towel rings, and toilet paper holders. Every project was completed with exceptional attention to detail and craftsmanship. What stood out most was the quality of their work. They took the time to make sure everything was aligned correctly, installed properly, and finished to a high standard. Nothing felt rushed. They treated our home with care and approached every job, large or small, with professionalism and pride. Their pricing was very competitive, communication was excellent, and the overall experience was smooth from start to finish. After seeing the quality of their workmanship and the way they conducted themselves, I knew I had found a team I could trust. That trust became even more important just days before our move-in date when we experienced an unexpected kitchen sink issue that had been caused by the silicone around a newly installed sink becoming disconnected during a cleaning. The sink, garbage disposal, and plumbing had been installed by someone else, but I immediately reached out to Handy Hippie because of the confidence they had already earned through their previous work. Without hesitation, they stepped in, addressed the issue, and helped us get everything back in order at a critical time. When you're preparing to move into a new home, that kind of support means a lot and is something you don't forget. Beyond their skill and craftsmanship, the entire Handy Hippie team was simply a pleasure to work with. Honest, dependable, professional, and genuinely focused on helping their customers. To the Handy Hippie team, thank you for your hard work, attention to detail, fair pricing, and for being there when we needed help the most. We are extremely happy with the results and grateful for the support you provided during our move. I would confidently recommend Handy Hippie to friends, family, and neighbors. If you're looking for quality workmanship backed by people who truly care, look no further. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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. :)
