How do I get a price?

Call or text (313) 546-6644, or use the Instant Quote form, with the address, photos and your timeline. Every job gets a free quote, confirmed before work starts. We don't publish set prices because jobs vary too much.

Who does the work?

Vetted independent local pros that we schedule and coordinate, with one point of contact for you. Electrical, plumbing, HVAC, pest control and larger repairs are performed by licensed partners.

Do you do house cleaning?

Home and Airbnb cleaning is booked through our sister brand, BnB Home Cleaning.

Landlords and property managers

Can you handle a whole turnover, not just cleaning?

Yes: trash-out, handyman repairs, painting and cleaning, coordinated in the right order, with before-and-after photos. See apartment turnovers.

Do you work with property managers who have many units?

Yes. We can take recurring work across a portfolio, such as turnovers, trash-outs, lawn, snow and trash-can valet, with one invoice per job.

Can you help a Detroit rental pass its inspection?

We can fix the items an inspector flags that fall in our services: paint, cleaning, minor repairs, pest control through a licensed partner, and debris. Licensed trades handle electrical, plumbing and HVAC. See the Detroit rental certificate guide.

What paperwork matters for the security deposit?

Move-in and move-out checklists, dated photos, and itemized estimates. Michigan requires the itemized notice within 30 days of move-out. See the Michigan security deposit guide.

Do you handle trash-outs after an eviction or abandonment?

We haul out what's left once you have legal possession of the unit. We don't handle the legal process itself.

Airbnb and short-term rental hosts

Do you do same-day Airbnb turnovers?

Yes, between checkout and check-in where the schedule allows, with linens, restocking and a photo report. See Airbnb host services.

Are Airbnbs allowed in Detroit?

It's unsettled. Detroit has no short-term rental license, the zoning code bars paid overnight guests as a home occupation, and a proposed ordinance hadn't been adopted in City records we found. Read the Detroit short-term rental rules guide and check with the City.

Can you document guest damage?

Yes. We photograph before cleaning and flag damage the same day, so you can file within Airbnb's 14-day window. See documenting guest damage.

Can you help me find a co-host?

Yes. See find a co-host.

Homeowners

Will you take junk from inside the house?

Yes. We carry items out from basements, garages and upstairs rooms. The City only collects from the curb. See junk removal options in Detroit.

Do you paint older Detroit homes?

Yes. For homes built before 1978, painting is done by lead-safe (EPA RRP) certified painters. See the lead-safe rules guide.

Can you shovel my sidewalk?

Yes, as a standing snow-removal order. Detroit requires sidewalks to be cleared or treated within 24 hours. See the Detroit snow rules.

Do you do pest control?

Pest control is performed by our licensed partner. See pest control and our pest prevention basics.
