Older houses and the work they generate
A lot of what we do in Missoula is home repair on houses that were not built last year. Doors that have shifted and no longer latch. Caulk and trim that gave up a while ago. Drywall that has been patched before, badly. Fixtures that were current two owners back.
None of that is structural and none of it needs a general contractor. It needs somebody to turn up with the right tools and work down the list.
Rentals and turnovers
Missoula has a lot of rental housing, and rental housing turns over. We do make-ready work between tenants for landlords and property managers: wall repair and touch up paint, the fixtures and blinds that did not survive the lease, and whatever the walkthrough turned up.
Photos before and after, which matters when a deposit is in question.
Being based here changes the visit
We are not driving in from somewhere else. For Missoula addresses that usually means several small jobs can go into one appointment without travel time eating into it, so a one hour minimum buys close to an hour of actual work.
Common questions from Missoula
- Who can help with home maintenance in Missoula?
- We do this work across Missoula every week. UpKeep is based here, so in-town jobs do not involve driving in from somewhere else. Repairs, seasonal upkeep, rental turnovers and recurring maintenance plans all sit inside what we take on.
- How quickly can you get to a Missoula address?
- Typical lead time for a non-urgent repair is a few business days. Maintenance plan members get priority scheduling ahead of one-off calls.
- Can you do several small jobs in one visit?
- That is usually the cheapest way to do it. Send the whole list rather than the single worst item, and we will work through as much as the visit allows. Work is billed hourly with a one hour minimum, plus materials.
- Do you work with landlords and property managers?
- Yes. Turnover punch lists between tenants and recurring upkeep on managed properties are a regular part of what we do in Missoula.
