Independent Quote, Contract & Scope of Work Review

Hiring a contractor for a home project can be a big decision — and the details in the quote, contract, and scope of work matter. A single overlooked clause, vague description, or unbalanced payment schedule can lead to costly surprises down the road.

At TRS Total Residential Services, we offer unbiased, independent reviews of contractor quotes, contracts, and scopes of work. As an experienced residential professional with no affiliation to other contractors, I provide a clear, straightforward second opinion to help you move forward with confidence.

What’s Included in Your Review:

  • Line-by-line analysis of the proposed scope of work for completeness and clarit

  • Evaluation of pricing fairness and potential red flags

  • Review of payment schedules, timelines, warranties, and liabilities

  • Identification of missing protections or ambiguous language

  • Summary of risks and recommendations

Perfect for:

  • Homeowners receiving bids for renovations, additions, roofing, siding, or major repairs

  • Buyers using repair concessions after a home inspection

  • Anyone wanting peace of mind before signing a contract

How It Works:

  1. Book your review session below

  2. We schedule a convenient time to discuss everything in detail

Pricing: Starting at $149 (flat fee based on document complexity – exact quote provided at booking)

Home projects — whether a kitchen remodel, bathroom update, deck addition, or whole-house renovation — can quickly become overwhelming. Coordinating contractors, managing timelines, tracking budgets, and dealing with unexpected issues takes time and expertise most homeowners don’t have.

With TRS Project Management & Oversight, you get an experienced partner who acts as your advocate from planning to completion. We oversee every step, ensuring quality work, clear communication, and a smooth process.

  • Initial consultation to understand your vision, budget, and timeline

  • Assistance selecting and vetting contractors (or working with your chosen team)

  • Creation of a detailed project schedule with milestones

  • Regular on-site supervision and progress checks

  • Coordination between all trades (plumbers, electricians, carpenters, etc.)

  • Quality control inspections at key stages

  • Management of change orders and unexpected issues

  • Final walkthrough and punch-list completion

Perfect for:

  • Busy homeowners who don’t have time to manage the project themselves

  • Out-of-state or seasonal Maine property owners

  • First-time renovators who want professional guidance

How It Works:

  1. Book a free initial consultation below

  2. We review your plans, scope, and goals

Property Inspection

Property Inspections

Get a helpful overview of your home’s condition.

Not every situation calls for a comprehensive home inspection. Sometimes you just need a trained, experienced eye to walk through your property, spot visible issues, and give you a straightforward summary of what looks good and what might need attention.

At TRS Total Residential Services, our Basic Property Walkthrough is a practical, affordable service that gives Maine homeowners a clear snapshot of their property’s current visual condition.

What’s Included:

  • 1–2 hour on-site walkthrough (interior & exterior)

  • Visual check of readily accessible areas:

    • Roof (from ground level), siding, windows, doors, foundation

    • Interior rooms, floors, walls, ceilings

    • Plumbing fixtures (visible leaks, drainage)

    • Electrical outlets & switches (basic function testing)

    • Heating system (visible condition & basic operation)

    • Attic, basement, or crawlspace (if safely accessible)

    • Safety items (smoke/CO detectors, stairs, railings)

    • Maine-specific seasonal concerns (winter damage signs, moisture issues, pest entry points)

  • Informal checklist with photos of notable observations

  • Recommendations for next steps (repairs, maintenance, or when a certified inspection is advised)

Important Note: This is a visual, non-technical walkthrough performed by an experienced residential professional — not a certified home inspection. It does not include invasive testing, specialized equipment, or a formal report meeting certified standards. For buying/selling transactions or detailed assessments, we recommend a licensed certified home inspector.

Perfect for:

  • Seasonal or vacation homeowners checking their property after winter or before arrival

  • Landlords doing move-out/move-in walkthroughs

  • Sellers wanting to identify obvious issues before listing

  • Homeowners seeking a “peace of mind” check or maintenance priorities

How It Works:

  1. Book your walkthrough below

  2. We schedule a convenient time and visit your property

  3. You receive photo notes and recommendations.

Pricing: Starting at $250 (flat rate for most single-family homes — larger properties quoted at booking)

MAINTENANCE scheduling

Property Maintenance Scheduling

Keep your home safe, efficient, and worry-free — year after year.

Regular maintenance is the smartest way to protect your biggest investment. Small tasks done on schedule prevent major repairs, lower energy bills, extend the life of your systems, and keep your home running smoothly through Maine’s changing seasons.

For seasonal owners most insurance policies require that your home is regularly looked after in order to award coverage for a loss.

With TRS Property Maintenance Scheduling, we create a personalized plan tailored to your home’s needs, your schedule, and your budget. We handle the reminders and the work, so you don’t have to remember when it’s time for the next task.

What’s Included:

  • Custom seasonal maintenance checklist (spring startup, fall shutdown, winter prep, etc.)

  • Scheduled visits for routine tasks like:

    • Gutter cleaning & downspout checks

    • Furnace/HVAC filter changes & system tune-ups

    • Smoke/CO detector testing & battery replacement

    • Window/door weatherstripping & caulking checks

    • Sump pump testing & backup battery checks

    • Exterior inspections (roof, siding, foundation, deck)

    • Plumbing leak checks & water heater flushing

    • Conditions checks to verify all systems are operating as intended

    • And any recurring handyman tasks you choose

  • Visit reports with photos and conditions along with any recommendations.

  • Reminders sent to you before each visit

Perfect for:

  • Seasonal or vacation property owners in Maine

  • Busy homeowners who want “set it and forget it” peace of mind

  • Anyone preparing a home for sale or long-term ownership

  • Landlords maintaining rental properties

How It Works:

  1. Book a free consultation below

  2. We visit (or review virtually) and build your custom plan

  3. Approve the schedule and tasks

  4. We take care of the rest — on time, every time

Pricing: Plans and pricing will be determined at consultation. (billed monthly, quarterly, or annually) — includes scheduled visits and priority service. Exact cost based on home size and selected tasks.

Don’t wait for a problem to appear. A proactive maintenance plan saves money, prevents emergencies, and keeps your Maine home in top condition all year long.
