Section 8 · Housing Choice Voucher

Section 8 inspection repairs, fixed and documented.

Renting to voucher holders through INLIVIAN or another housing authority? A failed inspection can hold up your rent. Send us the inspector's fail list and we set up a free walkthrough. We quote it flat, fix every item, and send dated photos so you're ready for re-inspection.

Why landlords send us their fail lists

1

Dated proof

Before-and-after photos for every item, so re-inspection goes smoothly.

2

Fixed, not patched

An engineer's eye for the cause, so the same item doesn't fail next year.

3

Tenant coordination

We schedule with your tenant or through you. No need to be on site.

4

One flat price

The whole list quoted before we start, one invoice at the end.

Items that go to a licensed partnerWater heaters, toilet replacements and new wiring or circuits need a North Carolina trade license. We flag them on your quote and coordinate a licensed partner so the whole list gets done.

Questions

Section 8 questions.

Don't see yours? Text (980) 288-4954 or read all FAQs.

What do you need from me?

The inspector's fail list, the property address, the re-inspection date if you have one, and how to reach your tenant or get into the unit. Then we set up a free walkthrough.

How quickly can you fix the list?

Most fail lists are short, and we schedule them so you're ready before the re-inspection date. Your quote says when we'll do the work.

Do you work in occupied units?

Yes. We schedule with your tenant directly or through you, keep the visit short, and send photos when every item is done.

What if an item needs a licensed trade?

We flag it on the quote and coordinate a licensed partner, so the whole list gets handled. Water heaters, toilet replacements and new wiring are the usual ones.

What about peeling paint in an older home?

In a home built before 1978, chipped or peeling paint has to be handled with lead-safe work practices. We flag those items on your quote before any work starts.

Which areas do you cover?
