Pre-Sale Preparation & Home Repair Planning
Contractor walkthroughs and repair estimates for homeowners, buyers, and real estate agents.
Before a home goes on the market—or before a buyer takes on repairs—it helps to understand what the work involves.
Saitta Construction provides contractor walkthroughs to discuss specific repair concerns, plan improvements, and prepare estimates. We work with homeowners getting ready to sell, buyers reviewing an independent inspection report, and real estate agents helping clients organize repairs.
Our role is to turn the work you’re considering into a clear construction plan, with an agreed scope and pricing before repairs begin.
Preparing Your Home for Sale
You may have a few unfinished projects, repairs you’ve been putting off, or questions about what to address before listing.
We can walk through those items with you and discuss repair options, materials, and the work involved. Together, we can organize a scope that fits your plans for the property, your budget, and your listing schedule.
The work may include:
- Repairing damaged drywall, trim, doors, and windows.
- Addressing damaged siding, fascia, and exterior wood.
- Repairing or replacing worn flooring.
- Updating paint and interior finishes.
- Completing unfinished projects.
- Making selected kitchen and bathroom improvements.
- Repairing decks, steps, and railings.
The scope can be limited to a few specific repairs or include several areas of the home.
Understanding Repairs Before You Buy
If a home inspection has identified items that need attention, the next question is often what those repairs will involve and how much to budget.
We can review the items you want addressed from an independent inspector’s report, visit the property with the owner’s permission, and prepare a proposal for the requested work.
We can also discuss changes you’re considering after purchase, such as a bathroom remodel, kitchen updates, new flooring, or other improvements. This allows you to consider repair work and planned renovations together.
Where the scope depends on concealed conditions, further investigation, or a specialist’s evaluation, we explain that in the proposal.
Repair Work During a Sale
For homeowners and agents working through a repair request, we can prepare an estimate for the selected items and complete the approved work.
Share the repair list, any relevant inspection pages or photographs, and your transaction deadlines. We’ll discuss access, the scope of work, and scheduling availability before making a commitment.
What to Expect
An initial conversation
We start with the property location, the work you’re considering, and your timeline. Photos, a repair list, or an existing inspection report help us prepare for the visit.
A focused contractor walkthrough
We meet at the property to review the requested repairs, discuss options, and gather the information needed to price the work.
A written repair proposal
The proposal describes the work included, pricing, and any assumptions or exclusions. Any consultation or estimating fee is discussed before the appointment.
Completion of approved repairs
If you choose to proceed, Saitta Construction can complete the agreed work under a separate construction agreement, with permits and specialist involvement where required.
Scope of the Service
Our walkthroughs are for planning and estimating specific construction work. They do not provide a whole-home inspection, home inspection report, or certification of the property’s condition. Buyers should obtain an independent home inspection and any appropriate specialist evaluations.
