Make Ready Service

A local W‑2 field manager runs every Lula make‑ready.

Not a coordinator. Not a 1099 broker. A full-time Lula employee living in your market—scoping the work, lining up vetted local Pros, holding the schedule, and walking the unit before it’s handed back to you.

THE RUN-OF-SHOW

Scope → Approve → Coordinate → Walkthrough

One field manager runs the whole turn. Four steps. One owner. One unit ready to lease.

Scope the unit

Day 0

Your field manager walks the unit and builds a complete punch list with flat-rate pricing before any work starts.

Approve one quote

Day 1

One consolidated quote. Approve, adjust, or scope it down. No apples-to-oranges across six vendors.

Coordinate the trades

Day 2–5

Your field manager assembles the Pro team, sequences the work, and keeps the schedule. Photos and updates — not voicemails.

Walk before handoff

Day 6

Before the unit comes back to you, your field manager does a final walk. If anything’s off, it gets fixed before you see it.

WHAT YOU’RE DOING WITHOUT ONE

Every Vacant Day Is Rent You’re Not Collecting

Punch lists split across a dozen 1099 vendors who don’t talk to each other. You chase quotes, juggle schedules, and hope someone shows up.

1–2wks

Average time lost to coordination per turn—not the work itself.

Vendor sprawl

Six different 1099s for paint, plumbing, carpet, cleaning, and prep. None of them coordinate with each other, and none of them own the outcome.

Quote-chasing

Different scopes, different price models, different turnaround times. Comparing apples to apples eats hours per turn.

Schedule juggling

One trade slips and the next four cascade. Someone on your team becomes a part-time project manager by default.

No accountability

When something gets missed or the unit isn’t actually ready, nobody owns the redo. The cost falls back on you.

WHAT YOU GET BACK

FAQ

Make-Ready FAQs

How long does a typical Lula make-ready take?+

Most standard turns complete in 5–7 business days from scope to walkthrough, depending on the scope of work. Your field manager sequences the trades to minimize idle days between jobs. Larger scopes (full flooring replacements, full paint) typically run 7–10 days.

What’s included in a Lula make-ready?+

Standard make-ready includes: deep clean, interior paint, carpet cleaning or replacement, appliance check, and a pre-handoff walkthrough by your field manager. Additional scopes—flooring, fixtures, drywall, HVAC filters—are line-item priced on your quote.

Do you serve my city?+

Lula currently operates in Atlanta, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Dallas, Dayton, Houston, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Memphis, Minneapolis, Oklahoma City, Orlando, Phoenix, St. Louis, Tampa, and Tulsa. Each market has a dedicated W‑2 field manager on the ground.

How does Lula handle quality assurance?+

Your field manager conducts a final walkthrough before the unit is handed back. Any items that don’t meet Lula’s standards get resolved before handoff—not after. You get a sign-off report with the completed scope itemized.

Who actually does the work on site?+

Lula’s vetted local Pro network executes the work. Your W‑2 field manager sources, schedules, and supervises the Pros—so you deal with one point of contact, not six contractors.
