June marks the official start of peak rental season in Cape May County. Whether your property rents weekly, monthly, or for the full summer, the window between guests is short—and any maintenance issue can turn into a last-minute scramble.

The best way to protect your property and your reviews is by having a trusted handyman on call for fast, efficient service. At Shore Handyman, we specialize in short-notice rental property fixes, helping homeowners in Avalon, Stone Harbor, Sea Isle, and the surrounding towns keep things running smoothly between bookings.

Turnover Troubles We Solve—Fast

Minor issues can leave a major impression on renters. These are the problems we see—and fix—most often during turnover season:

• Door Lock Swaps and Repairs: Faulty keypads, sticking deadbolts, and misaligned hardware are common on high-use doors. We repair or replace locks quickly and can reprogram smart locks to keep your property secure.
  
  
• Outdoor Shower Repairs: Salt air, sand, and frequent use can lead to leaking fixtures, slow drains, or rusted parts. We inspect, repair, or replace valves, heads, and connections to keep the outdoor shower fully functional.
  
  
• Leaky Faucets and Drain Clogs: We handle dripping kitchen and bathroom faucets, under-sink leaks, and slow-draining tubs and showers. These common issues are simple to fix—and essential to guest satisfaction.
  
  
• Drywall Patching and Wall Repairs: From suitcase dings to furniture scuffs, walls take a beating in rental homes. We patch holes, smooth rough spots, and touch up paint for a polished look between guests.
  
  
• Blind and Curtain Rod Replacement: Broken blinds or fallen rods are easy to overlook but instantly noticeable to renters. We reinstall, replace, or repair blinds and window coverings to restore both privacy and aesthetics.
  
  
• Screen Repairs and Door Adjustments: Torn window screens or doors that won’t close properly are easy to address but can cause ongoing frustration for guests. We rehang doors, align hinges, and repair screens to keep airflow in and bugs out.
  
  
• Fixture Replacements: If a light fixture stops working or a cabinet pull comes loose, we take care of the small fixes that affect the everyday comfort and look of your rental.
  
  

Same-Week Service for Fast Turnovers

Rental calendars at the shore move fast—and so do we. Our team offers same-week availability for service calls in between guests, with quick turnaround for punch lists or urgent requests. Whether you need one issue resolved or several, we’ll coordinate access, complete repairs efficiently, and leave your property guest-ready for check-in.

Peace of Mind for Remote Owners

If you don’t live locally or can’t be on-site during turnovers, Shore Handyman can act as your local contact for property maintenance. We offer communication, coordination, and documentation for everything we service—keeping you informed and your guests comfortable.

We also work with many local cleaning companies and property managers, making it easy to coordinate service in the same tight timeframe.

Bundle Turnover Services with Seasonal Maintenance

Many of our rental clients use seasonal prep and close-down services in addition to mid-season support. If you’re looking for a full-service solution, we can help with:

• Spring and fall home readiness
  
• Storm watch service and post-storm inspections
  
• Smoke/CO2 alarm checks and battery replacements
  
• Minor exterior repairs
  
• Power washing and deck refreshes
  
• Interior tune-ups like caulking, painting, and hardware fixes
