Questions

Lakeway specifics.

Yes. Lakeway is inside our 35-mile Austin metro service radius, and it's an area we work in regularly. Lakeway listings are priced high enough that buyers expect a house to be finished. Deferred maintenance reads as negotiating leverage here more than anywhere else in the metro.

Cost tracks square footage, scope and condition far more than location. Most Lakeway homes we prepare are 1980s lake-era custom homes alongside newer luxury product. The cost estimator on this site gives a planning range in about fifteen seconds; the free walkthrough gives you the itemised number.

The recurring items here are sun and heat degradation on west-facing decks, railings and exterior stain; dated 1980s–90s custom finishes — brass, oak, tile counters; retaining wall and hillside drainage repair. Send us the buyer's report and we'll price every line against it within 48 hours.

A make-ready prepares a home to be listed or re-rented: interior paint, flooring repair or replacement, fixture and hardware updates, minor repairs, curb appeal and a photography-grade clean. The goal is a house that photographs well and shows without excuses.

Within 48 hours of the walkthrough for almost every project. If you send a buyer's inspection report by email we can often price the list before we set foot on the property, then confirm on site.

Yes, and it is a large share of what we do. Email the PDF and we return an itemised quote against every line item, work the list with licensed trades where the item calls for one, and photograph each completed item for the re-inspection.

It depends far more on square footage and scope than on neighbourhood. A cosmetic turn on a small condo and a full pre-listing make-ready on a long-owner home are different orders of magnitude, which is why we built a cost estimator on this site rather than publishing a single number that would be wrong for most houses.
