For real-estate agents
The pre-listing exterior specialist your listings deserve.
One contractor for every house wash, driveway clean, roof treatment, gutter clear and pre-paint prep across the Greater Wellington Region. Reliable timeline, photos to the agency, scheduled around your listing dates.
Why agencies refer us
What an agency-grade pre-listing exterior contractor does differently.
- 25 yrWellington trade history
- 100+five-star reviews
- 24 hquote turnaround
- Owneron every job
Real-estate agents we work with use us because the same person quotes the work, does the work and sends the agency the before-and-after photos. No subcontractors, no missed appointments, no awkward "the contractor didn't show" calls back to the seller.
How the partnership works
- Refer us to your seller. James contacts the seller within 24 hours, quotes off photos or visits the property.
- Schedule against your listing date. We work backward from photo day, typically 4–6 weeks before listing. Roof treatments need that lead time; house washes are quicker.
- Photos to you AND the seller. Agency gets the same before-and-after photos the seller does. Useful for listing copy, internal QA, and confirming the job's complete.
- Invoiced direct to the seller. No agency overhead or commission complication.
What we handle for pre-listing
Priority 1 (photo day essentials)
House wash, driveway clean, paths and steps, spider-web clearance. $430–1,100 for typical 3-bed Wellington home.
Priority 2 (drone-shot trust)
Roof clean, gutter clear, fence wash, deck wash. $700–1,800 on top, depending on roof complexity.
The Wellington-specific factors we plan around
- Coastal listings (Lyall Bay, Island Bay, Petone, Eastbourne, Kapiti foreshore), salt-neutralising chemistry, shorter intervals, photographable result that holds for the 6-week listing window
- Heritage properties (Kelburn, Wadestown, Mt Victoria, Roseneath), soft wash only, no high-pressure damage to century-old paint
- South-facing roofs (Newlands, Brooklyn, Karori upper streets), moss treatment timing: 4–6 weeks before listing so the dead lichen has rinsed off
- Coloured-press concrete driveways (Khandallah, Karori, newer subdivisions), lower pressure + colour-safe detergent, never standard high-pressure blasting
What we ask in return
- Refer us early, last-minute (within 2 weeks of listing) limits the roof and moss-treatment options
- Brief us on the listing date so we can schedule the wash for the right window
- If you'd like, we'll send you a folder of the before-and-after photos for your records and listing copy
