Questions

Before you begin

Detailed answers are here when you need them. Open a question to learn more.

What is included in this service?

Work can include Drywall Repair, Ceiling Repair, Interior Painting, Exterior Painting, Tile Repair, and Tile Regrouting. The final proposal confirms the selected services, quantities, site conditions, and any exclusions for your property.

How long does the work usually take?

A ready-to-start basic-to-standard scope typically takes 1–3 business days. Site conditions, selections, permits, inspections, weather, access, and approved changes can affect the schedule.

Can several tenant-reported issues be handled in one visit?

Yes, when the list, locations, photos, and likely materials are reviewed in advance. Regulated, concealed, or larger work may require a separate assessment or trade.

How is pricing calculated?

Pricing is built from the selected services using hourly, per-item, per-square-foot, and per-linear-foot rates, as applicable to the measured scope. Design-dependent or concealed work may require a custom quotation. The final proposal confirms quantities and approved choices.

How is access coordinated with tenants?

The owner or manager confirms notice, permission, contact details, pets, and access instructions. Meiju works within the approved appointment and documents access problems that prevent completion.

Will the owner receive a record of completed work and findings?

Yes. The closeout can separate completed items, tenant-use observations, unresolved conditions, and recommended owner follow-up for clearer property records.
