Vacation and short-term rental
The property is an investment. Once a year it needs one.
Turnover cleaning and repairs through the season. Renovation in the months the calendar is empty, so the property earns more next season than it did last.
In short
Specus Services provides turnover cleaning, seasonal deep cleaning, photo inspection reporting, between-booking repairs, and off-season renovation for vacation rentals and Airbnb properties across Brunswick County. We hold the cleaning and the maintenance together, so problems get caught between guests instead of in a review.
Off-season renovation, while it is not earning
Every summer leaves a list. Scuffed walls, a tired bathroom, flooring that photographs badly, the deck board that keeps turning up in reviews. None of it is worth losing a booking over in July, and all of it is worth fixing in November.
We are a licensed general contractor, so the work goes deeper than paint and patching — and it is aimed at what moves nightly rate and review scores.
Kitchens and baths
Cosmetic refresh or full renovation. The two rooms guests photograph and reviewers mention.
Flooring, paint, and interior finishes
Trim, doors, hardware, and the surfaces that make a listing photo look dated.
Decks, railings, and exterior
Outdoor showers, steps, screens, and the coastal exposure repairs that pile up over a season.
Furniture, fixtures, and appliances
Replacement and installation between seasons, before the calendar fills.
Turnover cleaning and in-season repair
Turnover cleaning
Scheduled changeovers worked to a written scope: beds stripped and made, linens laundered or exchanged, kitchen reset and dishes run, bathrooms disinfected, floors vacuumed and mopped, trash out, consumables restocked, exterior furniture straightened, and a final walk with the lights and thermostat set.
Deep and seasonal cleaning
Pre-season open-up, post-season close-down, and periodic resets — inside appliances, inside cabinets, baseboards and trim, windows and tracks, ceiling fans and vents, grout, and upholstery.
Inspection and photo reporting
Damage, wear, and missing items documented with photos before the next guest arrives, so a claim is a matter of record instead of an argument. The same pass catches the maintenance items that would otherwise surface as a complaint.
Repairs between bookings
Appliances, plumbing, and HVAC take far more use in a rental than in a house. We handle the punch list in the gaps between bookings.
For rental agents and managers
Overflow capacity and owner renovation
Peak season, back-to-back Saturdays, two people out, and the turnovers still have to happen.
Overflow turnover capacity
Scheduled in advance for your heaviest changeover days, or called in when the week goes sideways. We work to your checklist and your standard.
Renovation your owners need to stay profitable
Owners bring you kitchens, decks, and repairs between seasons. We are a licensed general contractor working in the same towns you manage. We can run the project through you or directly with the owner, whichever you prefer. We work alongside you on the owner relationship.
