What We Do for Agents

You vouch for us the moment you hand a client our number — we treat that referral like the asset it is.

Inspection Repair Responses

Send the inspection report — we quote the flagged items, fix them, and document completion for the buyer's side.

Pre-Listing Punch Lists

The scuffs, drips, sticky doors, and dated fixtures that cost sellers money in photos — knocked out in a visit or two before the sign goes up.

Deadline-Aware Scheduling

Tell us the closing date and we work backwards from it. We know what a delayed repair does to a contract.

Documentation for the File

Written scope, invoice, and photos of finished work — everything attorneys and lenders like to see.

Licensed GC Behind It

A licensed, insured general contractor's signature on the work — not a mystery guy from a marketplace app.

Move-In Ready Extras

TV mounting, fixture swaps, and small projects for your buyers after closing — a closing gift that actually gets used.

We Make You Look Clairvoyant

Your client mentions a saggy gutter at the listing appointment. By the weekend it's fixed, photographed, and off the list — because you “know a guy.” That's the whole play: agents who solve problems get the next referral, and we're the solving part.

We've done this dance across DeKalb County, the Fox Valley, and the North Shore: the pre-listing sprint, the 10-day attorney-review scramble, the buyer's day-one honey-do list. Fast quotes, no drama, and paperwork that makes the other side's attorney nod. See the machinery on our inspection repairs page.

Why Agents Keep Us on Speed Dial

We answer, and we show upAsk around — the #1 complaint about contractors in a transaction is silence. Fast responses are the whole reason agents refer us twice.
One crew for the whole reportDrywall, doors, plumbing fixtures, railings, GFCIs, caulk — most inspection lists never need a second trade.
Quotes attorneys can work withWritten, prompt, and keyed to the inspection report — clean paper for credits and repair riders.
Your reputation is on the line — so is oursWe're local, licensed, and reviewed under our own name. We don't make you look bad, period.

Agent Questions

How fast can you quote an inspection report?

Send the PDF and photos — most reports get a written quote within 24–48 hours, flagged items only or the whole list.

Can you work inside attorney review timelines?

That's the job. Tell us the deadline when you send the report and we'll tell you immediately if it's doable — no strung-along maybes.

Who do you bill — the seller, buyer, or agent?

Whoever the deal calls for. The invoice goes to the responsible party with the documentation everyone needs for the file.

Do you do jobs this small / this big?

From a $250 punch item to a licensed-GC repair scope — same crew, same paper trail. See our inspection repairs page for the full picture.

Do you work with property managers too?

Yes — that's our rental turnover and property management side of the house.
