Every repair. One team.
From quick fixes to complex addendum items, Bluetape handles the full spectrum of inspection repairs with licensed, in-house pros who move at the pace of your deal.

Whether it’s rotted trim, damaged framing, loose decking, or subfloor issues, our team repairs the items inspectors call out most often. Clear scopes and reliable workmanship keep the deal on steady ground.

Cosmetic problems often weigh heavily in negotiation. We patch holes, correct texture, refresh walls, fix damaged trim, and restore the clean, move-in-ready look buyers expect.
Roofing, gutters, and exterior work
We address roof leaks, missing shingles, flashing repairs, gutter cleaning, sealing, exterior wood rot, siding issues, and other common exterior items. Fast response prevents minor findings from turning into costly re-negotiations..

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the estimate free?
Yes. Bluetape provides free, no-obligation estimates. You will receive a clear, line-by-line breakdown so you can understand the scope, pricing, and timeline before deciding how to move forward.
What happens if i don't choose you?
Nothing at all. There is no commitment. You can take the estimate, use it for planning or negotiation, or decide to move forward another way. We are here to make the process easier, not force a decision
How long does it take to recieve an estimate for repairs?
Our pre-listing process usually requires a walkthrough. Once submit a repair request we'll work quickly to schedule the walkthrough with you. Following the walkthrough, repair estimates are delivered within one to two business days. Our process is built for real estate timelines, so you get answers quickly and can keep the listing or transaction moving.
Do I need to have all the details before i submit a repair request?
No. You can submit what you have. A repair list, walkthrough notes, inspection report, or even a general description is enough to get started. Our team will help fill in the gaps and clarify scope as needed.
Do you offer pay at close options?
Yes. Eligible repairs can be completed with no upfront costs and paid at closing. This allows sellers or buyers to move forward with necessary repairs without slowing down the transaction or creating financial stress.
How do pre-listing repairs affect the inspection?
Pre-listing repairs can significantly shorten inspection reports and reduce the number of repair requests after a buyer goes under contract. By fixing known issues early, inspections are more likely to confirm condition rather than uncover problems that delay or derail the deal.
Can pre-listing repairs help a home sell faster?
In many cases, yes. Homes that are properly prepared tend to show better, attract stronger offers, and move through the transaction with fewer delays. Pre-list repairs remove uncertainty and help buyers feel confident moving forward.
Do you help prioritize which repairs matter most before listing?
Yes. Bluetape helps agents and homeowners determine which repairs are worth addressing before listing and which can be left alone. Our recommendations are based on inspection risk, market expectations, and real estate timelines, not unnecessary upgrades.
