- ✓Overgrowth removal: yard cleanup, brush and fence-line clearing.
- ✓Light demolition: non-structural tear-out to prep for rehab.
- ✓Board-ups / bolt boarding: secure openings without unnecessary damage, at $1.75 per unit.
- ✓Lock changes: $25. Secure access and control the keys.
- ✓Photo documentation: before-and-after photos and condition notes.
