Selling in Berthoud
Small-town homes, newer neighborhoods, and everything in between.
Berthoud has kept its small-town feel while it’s grown. Near the historic downtown you’ll find older homes with years of character. Around town, newer neighborhoods have filled in, and on the outskirts there are homes on larger lots with more outside to take care of.
That mix means every Berthoud listing has a different list. Older homes tend to need the small repairs that come with age. Newer homes need the finish details that show up in photos. And homes with more land often need the most attention outside — fences, gates, decks, and the first impression from the driveway.
Wherever your home sits, we’ll walk it with you and help you decide what’s worth doing before it goes on the market.

How It Works
We look first, then we recommend.
A downtown Berthoud home and a house on a bigger lot need different things. That’s why we start with a walkthrough.
1
Free consultation
We walk your home, inside and out, looking for what buyers and inspectors will notice.
2
A recommended block
We suggest the package of hours that fits your home’s list.
3
You approve it
You okay the punch list and the order we tackle it in.
4
We get it done
Highest-impact items first, with a record of the finished work.
Pricing
Buy the hours. We’ll handle the punch list.
Every Berthoud home brings a different list, so we sell flat-rate blocks of skilled labor instead of a fixed checklist. Your free consultation tells you which block fits.
You buy any fixtures; we bring the everyday supplies. Any time beyond your block is approved by you in advance.

For Berthoud Listing Agents
Listing in Berthoud? We’ll handle the prep.
Getting a seller’s punch list done before photos shouldn’t mean calling around for three different contractors. Send them our way instead.
Austin walks the home, recommends a block of hours, works through the list, and arranges any licensed trades — one point of contact for you and your seller. We handle inspection-objection repairs, too.
Questions
Pre-listing prep in Berthoud: common questions
Do you serve all of Berthoud?
Yes — from the older homes near downtown to the newer neighborhoods and homes on larger lots around town. We also serve Loveland, Johnstown, and the rest of Northern Colorado.
Can you help with outdoor items on a bigger property?
Yes. We handle fence and gate repairs, pressure washing, deck and patio touch-ups, and front entry refreshes. Roofing is outside what we take on, and we’ll tell you if something needs a specialist.
When should I call you before listing?
As early as you can, ideally before listing photos are scheduled, so the work is finished before your home goes live. If you’re already under contract, we can still help with inspection items.
How much does pre-listing prep cost?
Our packages are flat-rate blocks of skilled labor, and full pricing is on our packages page. The free consultation is where we recommend the block that fits your home.
Do I have to buy the materials?
You buy any fixtures and finishes — faucets, light fixtures, hardware — so you choose exactly what goes in your home. We bring the everyday supplies like caulk, bulbs, filters, weatherstripping, and fasteners.
What don’t you do?
We don’t take on full remodels, roofing, structural work, or appliance repair. Electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and window replacement are handled through licensed specialists we arrange, quoted separately, with us as your point of contact.
I’m a listing agent. Can I set this up for my seller?
Yes. You can request the consultation on your seller’s behalf, and we’ll coordinate with both of you from the walkthrough through the finished list.
Getting ready to list in Berthoud?
The consultation is free, and there’s nothing to pay to request one. We’ll walk your home, tell you what’s worth doing before it lists, and recommend the block of hours that fits.
