Rochester rental turns done between tenants, on schedule
We handle turns, flip scopes and clean outs for Rochester landlords and investors who need a house ready to rent or sell.
Landlords in the South Wedge, 19th Ward and Maplewood call us between leases because the turnaround window is short and the house is old. Doubles and workers’ cottages built before 1930 don’t turn like new construction. We look at the whole unit, tell you what’s cosmetic and what’s structural, and get it back on the market without guessing at what’s behind the plaster.
Most of what we work on in Rochester rentals is plaster over lath, sometimes knob-and-tube still in the walls, and a foundation that’s stone or rubble instead of poured concrete. Once a tenant moves out and we open a wall for a repair, we often find old wiring nobody disclosed, water staining from a roof that was patched instead of fixed, or a bathroom that was never actually redone since the house was built. We plan for that instead of being surprised by it.
What’s included
- Rental turn punch lists between tenants, room by room
- Pre-purchase repair scopes with real numbers for buyers
- Clean outs for vacant units and estate properties
- Bathroom and kitchen refresh work for flip renovations
- Plaster and drywall repair after old wiring pulls
- Foundation and basement checks on stone or rubble builds
What matters in Rochester property work
The mistake we see most is a landlord or agent pricing a repair off what’s visible and skipping what’s behind it. In a Corn Hill or Beechwood double with a tight one-bath layout, a small leak can mean the whole stack needs attention, not just a patch. We open it up first, give you real numbers before we start, and won’t pad a scope just to make it sound bigger than it is.
One crew runs the job start to finish, so the person who quotes it is the person doing it. We show up when we say, keep the site clean between units in a double, and finish the punch list before we call it done. Pricing is set before work starts, no surprises added later. Call (585) 488-3155 and we’ll walk the property with you.

Notes for Rochester homeowners
We handle turns, flip scopes and clean outs for Rochester landlords and investors who need a house ready to rent or sell.
- Permits run through the City of Rochester, and older doubles sometimes have unpermitted work from decades back that surfaces during inspection.
- Narrow stair runs in four-squares and cottages limit what materials and appliances can move through without disassembly.
- Rochester’s rental market moves fast between semesters and leases, so turn timing around the University of Rochester and RIT areas matters.
- Tall unfinished basements common in this housing stock are useful for mechanicals but often hide moisture or foundation issues worth checking early.
Rochester questions
Can you give us a repair scope before we close on a Rochester property?
Yes. We walk the house, check the basement and mechanicals, and put together a written scope with real numbers so you know what you’re buying into before closing, not after.
How fast can you turn a rental unit in a double house?
Depends on scope, but we plan around your lease dates. A cosmetic turn in a South Wedge or Swillburg double moves faster than one where we find wiring or plumbing needing real work.
Do you handle clean outs on vacant or estate properties?
Yes, we clear out vacant units and estate houses, including basements and attics in the older four-squares and colonials, before any renovation work starts.
