Exterior first impressions
Fix obvious exterior items: loose gates, squeaky hinges, missing address numbers, and dirty entry areas.
- Fence/gate repairs
- Power washing entry concrete
- Gutter cleanup
- Door hardware fixes

Inside, buyers notice uneven paint, bad caulk, and damaged trim immediately. Clean fixes beat expensive upgrades right before listing.
- Drywall patches
- Paint touch-ups
- Replace broken switches/outlet covers
