Home Refresh work by Home Ready TX in Austin, TX

What's included

Everything in a home refresh.

Most homeowners who think they need a remodel actually need a refresh. Refinishing cabinets rather than replacing them is routinely a fraction of the cost and takes days instead of months.

01

Whole-home or room-by-room repaint in current palettes

02

Lighting swap — flush mounts, pendants, vanity bars, dimmers

03

Cabinet refinishing and re-facing as an alternative to replacement

04

Hardware, plumbing fixtures and mirror replacement

05

Accent work — shiplap, board and batten, trim and built-ins

06

Popcorn ceiling removal and texture correction

How it works

Four steps, no surprises.

01

Walkthrough

We come to the property — free, no obligation, usually within a couple of days. If you have an inspection report, email it first and we will walk the house against it.

02

Itemised quote in 48 hours

A written scope with a line for every item, not a lump sum. You can cut anything on it. No allowances that quietly grow later.

03

One crew, one schedule

We coordinate every trade ourselves. You get one contact and one schedule — you are not chasing a painter and an electrician separately.

04

Final walk and documentation

We walk the finished work with you, photograph every completed item, and hand over a written summary you can forward to an agent or a buyer.

Questions

About home refresh.

It scales with square footage and scope rather than with neighbourhood. 3–10 days depending on square footage and scope. Use the cost estimator on this site for a planning range, then book a free walkthrough for the itemised number.

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.

Most make-ready and inspection-repair projects begin within a week of an approved quote. Smaller punch lists can often start the same week you call.
