Who Actually Fixes the Items on a Home Inspection Report?
Usually the seller, and usually under time pressure. Very few repairs are legally mandatory. Most of what appears on an inspection report gets negotiated between the parties, and whatever survives that negotiation becomes a list somebody has to clear before closing. The problem is that a typical list spans drywall, doors, caulking, a loose railing, a running toilet, and a missing outlet cover. Hiring that out by trade means four vendors, four schedules, and four invoices. One person who can do all of it is faster and cheaper.
What Repairs Do Buyers Usually Ask Sellers to Make?
Safety items, water, and anything a lender flags. Buyers most often ask for what reads as risk on a report: missing GFCI covers, loose handrails, damaged flooring, water staining, failed caulk around tubs and windows, doors that will not latch, and windows that will not open. FHA and VA loans can require certain items be completed before closing rather than credited. Most of what lands on those lists sits inside handyman scope, which is why one contractor usually clears the majority of it.
"Very professional with an outstanding customer service approach. Arrived promptly and completed the job on budget. I would ask for his help for any future projects."
How Fast Can Inspection Repairs Get Done Before Closing?
That depends on the list and the week, and Ron will give you a straight answer when he sees it rather than a number he cannot hold. Send the report and you get a callback the same business day with a realistic timeline attached. If the list is too large or the deadline too tight, he will say so up front instead of taking the job and missing it. On a transaction with a hard objection date, an honest no is worth more than an optimistic yes.

What Does a Pre-Closing Repair List Cost?
Priced by the list, not by the hour. Ron scopes each item and gives you a written price per line, so you can take it back to the other party if items get negotiated out. There is no trip fee and no minimum, which matters on a list where three of the fourteen items take ten minutes each. One visit covering multiple items beats separate trade calls on both cost and calendar, and it means one invoice for the file.
Do You Work With Grand Junction Realtors on Deadline?
Yes, and that is who this page is written for. Ron works Grand Junction, the Redlands, Orchard Mesa, Clifton, Fruitvale, Fruita, and Palisade, Monday through Friday. He carries $1,000,000 in general liability insurance covering both the work and the property, which is the first question most listing agents ask before letting anyone into a house under contract. He is a retired fire captain with 45 years of construction experience, and he is the person who shows up, not a dispatcher.
