Reviving a Rental: How Squatchworks Transformed a Tallahassee Property

Owning a rental property is one thing—keeping it attractive, functional, and profitable is another. In Tallahassee, one property owner found themselves stuck with an aging unit that wasn’t pulling in the kind of rent—or tenants—they wanted. The fix? Calling in Squatchworks to work our handyman magic.

With the right plan, a little elbow grease, and a whole lot of expertise, we turned a worn-out rental into a modern, inviting space that boosted its value and appeal. Here’s how we made it happen.

The Game Plan: Assessment & Strategy

First things first: we had to figure out exactly what needed fixing. Our team walked through the property, taking stock of areas that needed repairs, upgrades, and a little love. The big-ticket items?

  • Structural fixes to enhance safety and longevity
  • Swapping out outdated fixtures  and appliances
  • Elevating curb appeal with landscaping and exterior upgrades

Once we had a solid plan in place, we mapped out a timeline and budget to keep everything on track. Clear goals, smooth execution—that’s how we roll.

Bringing the Vision to Life

With the strategy in place, it was time to get our hands dirty. Our team tackled the project head-on, focusing on both functionality and aesthetics. Here’s what we did:

  • Upgraded fixtures - functional hardware, entry locks, and security cameras
  • Installed energy-saving LED lighting to cut down on utility costs
  • Repaired and repainted walls for a clean, welcoming look

We also optimized storage with built-in shelving and improved closet spaces, making the unit more practical for future tenants. Because let’s face it—everyone loves a well-thought-out space.

Boosting Curb Appeal: First Impressions Matter

A property’s exterior is the first thing potential tenants see, so we made sure this one stood out for all the right reasons. Our curb appeal upgrades included:

  • Fresh landscaping with low-maintenance native plants
  • Repairing walkways and driveways for a safer, cleaner look
  • Updating the exterior paint and solar lighting for a modern touch

By the time we were done, the property wasn’t just another rental—it was the rental.

The Payoff: Results That Speak for Themselves

The transformation delivered big wins for this Tallahassee rental property owner. Thanks to the updates, rental inquiries surged, and they were able to charge a higher rent—putting more money in their pocket. Plus, the improvements attracted long-term tenants who appreciated the fresh look and smart upgrades.

Even better? Investing in professional handyman services upfront meant fewer maintenance headaches down the road. Less stress, more profit—sounds like a win to us.
