About TRU Property Refresh
What does TRU Property Refresh do?
TRU improves the exterior curb appeal and first impression of properties — homes, rentals, listings, and jobsites — across the Colorado Springs area. We also handle a small, defined set of interior handyman tasks like TV mounting and ceiling fan swaps. The goal is simple: make a property look its best, fast.
Who do you work with?
We work with homeowners, short-term rental (STR) and Airbnb hosts, real estate agents, for-sale-by-owner (FSBO) sellers, investors, and contractors. Whether you're getting a property guest-ready, market-ready, or just want it to look sharp, we can help.
Are you licensed and insured?
TRU Property Refresh is veteran-owned and insured. For any work that requires a licensed trade — major electrical, plumbing, or structural work — we'll coordinate it or refer you to the right licensed professional rather than take it on ourselves.
What makes TRU different?
We keep it straightforward: a clear scope agreed up front, only approved work added, and good communication throughout. No upselling, no surprises — just fast, practical improvements that make a strong first impression.
Our Services
What exterior services do you offer?
Our primary focus is the outside of your property. That includes:
- Exterior curb appeal improvement
- The basic 60-minute refresh
- Debris pickup and haul-off
- Blower and surface cleanup
- Light mowing and exterior tidying
- Garage cleanout and debris removal
- Contractor and jobsite exterior cleanup
Do you do any interior work?
TRU is mainly an exterior curb appeal and property refresh service, but we do handle a few interior handyman tasks — specifically TV mounting and leveling and ceiling fan replacement. If you have something else in mind, just ask and we'll let you know if it's a fit or point you to the right next step.
Can you replace a ceiling fan?
Yes — for straightforward, like-for-like swaps on existing wiring and fixtures. If the job needs new wiring, a new circuit, panel work, or a permit, that's outside our scope and we'll refer you to a licensed electrician.
Can you mount my TV?
Absolutely. TV mounting and leveling is one of the interior tasks we handle. Let us know your city and whether you already have a mount or need one, and we'll take it from there.
Do you work on Airbnbs and short-term rentals?
Yes. We help STR hosts get exteriors guest-ready and photo-ready between bookings or before a listing goes live. Tell us the property's city and what you'd like handled.
Pricing
How much does it cost to get started?
Our basic refresh starts at $250 for up to one hour of focused work. That applies toward your project — it's the minimum to get started, not an extra fee on top. Anything beyond the first hour is reviewed and approved with you first, then billed separately.
Why is there a $250 minimum?
It covers up to an hour of focused exterior work and makes sure your project gets scoped and done right. And it applies toward the job itself — it's not an add-on. Share a few details or photos and we'll let you know whether your project fits inside that first hour.
Can you give me a quote without an assessment?
For straightforward work, a couple of photos and a few details are often enough to point you in the right direction. For anything more involved, a Free Curb Appeal Assessment is the most accurate way to scope it before any work is approved. We don't guarantee a final price on complex jobs sight-unseen — that protects you from surprises.
What if the job needs more than an hour?
We'll review the additional work with you and only proceed on what you approve. You'll always know what's being added and why before it happens.
I only have a small job — is that okay?
Small jobs are welcome, and a lot of them fit comfortably inside the first hour. Tell us what you need and we'll let you know if it's a quick one.
What We Don't Handle
Do you do full interior cleaning?
No — interior cleaning isn't our focus. TRU is built around exterior refresh and curb appeal, plus a few interior handyman tasks like TV mounting and ceiling fan swaps.
Can you do electrical, plumbing, or a full remodel?
Those are outside what we handle directly — we're not a licensed electrician, plumber, or general contractor. We're happy to take a look and either coordinate the work or refer you to the right licensed pro.
What if my request is outside your usual scope?
Just ask. We'll review it and let you know whether we can handle it directly, coordinate it, or refer it out. We won't leave you guessing.
Do you remove hazardous materials?
No. Hazardous waste removal requires specialized, licensed handling and is outside our scope. We'll point you toward the right service if you need it.
Service Area
What areas do you serve?
TRU primarily serves Colorado Springs and nearby areas. If you're not sure whether your property is within range, send us the city or address and we'll confirm coverage.
I think I might be just outside the area — can you still help?
Possibly. Send the property location and we'll let you know if we can cover it or recommend a next step.
Booking & Process
How do I get started?
The best first step is a Free Curb Appeal Assessment or sending a few photos of the area you'd like help with. Either one gets us what we need to scope your project and recommend next steps.
What photos should I send?
One wider shot of the whole area, plus a couple of close-ups of the main problem spots. That lets us scope the work faster and more accurately. You can send them by text or through our upload link — whichever's easier.
What's the Free Curb Appeal Assessment?
It's a no-cost review of your property's exterior so we can understand the scope before any work is approved. It's the most accurate way to plan a project and avoid surprises on price or timeline.
How fast can you get to my property?
Send us your location and timeline and we'll find the fastest next step based on availability. We don't promise same-day unless it's confirmed, but we move quickly.
Can I reschedule my appointment?
Yes — reach out and we'll help you move your assessment or service to a time that works better.
Issues & Other Questions
I'm not happy with the service — what do I do?
We want every issue handled the right way. Share the property address, the date of service, and a short description of what happened, and we'll note it for direct, personal follow-up from the TRU team.
Do you offer partnerships, affiliate, or subcontracting opportunities?
We're always open to the right conversations. Reach out with the details and a member of the TRU team will follow up with you directly.
Can you guarantee a specific result or look?
We focus on real, practical improvements that make a strong first impression. The best way to set clear expectations is a quick photo review or assessment, so we're aligned on the outcome before any work begins.
I need to talk to a person.
No problem. Let us know and we'll connect you with the TRU team for direct follow-up.
