Home Tune-Up

The list below provides recommendations for things to consider during a home tune-up. Some items customers choose to do themselves. We're happy to help with the those you don't want to do or are uncomfortable with doing. As every home is different, this is not a comprehensive list of all the task that might be performed during a home tune-up or ongoing home maintenance. Also, if you have other items on your to-do list, let's discuss.

How It Works

We’ll start with a quick walk‑through of the home and your punch list. Together, we’ll review the projects you want completed, talk through priorities, and make sure everything is clearly understood. From there, we will provide a clear, straightforward estimate for your approval before any work begins. All supplies and materials used (filters, batteries, caulk, etc.) are the responsibility of the customer, though The HandiPro – Your Master Fixologist can provide these items upon request for an additional fee.
