Austin Apartment Turns and Rental Make-Readies, Handled by One Team
Austin rentals change hands often, and each vacancy needs to be turned quickly and properly. Project Guru LLC provides make-ready services in Austin, Texas, for apartment units, rental homes and investment properties.
Like all of our make-ready services, we start from the move-out condition, agree the punch list with you, and complete the repairs and touch-ups so the unit is ready for photos and a new lease. For larger repair lists in occupied homes, our handyman services in Austin pick up where a turnover ends.
