Post-Inspection Repairs

Solutions That Keep Transactions Moving


Don't Let the Inspection Report Stall Your Closing

When the inspection report lands, the clock starts. Oikos Home Services specializes in post-inspection repairs for sellers and real estate agents across Delaware, addressing every line item quickly, professionally, and with zero guesswork. We know what needs to be done because we've been on the inspection side of the table.

Comprehensive Repairs, Start to Finish

No two inspection reports look the same. Oikos works directly from your addendum to address every required item, whether it's a single safety correction or a multi-trade repair list. Common post-inspection repairs we handle include:

  • Electrical corrections and panel issues

  • Plumbing repairs and fixture replacement

  • Roof and gutter repairs

  • HVAC-related corrections

  • Water intrusion and moisture issues

  • Door, window, and trim repairs

  • Handrail and stair safety corrections

  • Caulking, sealing, and weatherproofing

  • Wood rot repair and replacement

  • Smoke and carbon monoxide detector installation

  • Deck, porch, and exterior repairs

  • Structural and foundation corrections

If it's on the report, we can handle it. One call, one team, full scope.

Here's How It Works

When you reach out, we'll review your inspection report and schedule a time to walk the property and assess the scope of work in person. We don't quote off assumptions. Every estimate we put together is based on actually seeing the job alongside what the report identified, which means no vague numbers, no surprises, and no scope creep once we get started.

After the walkthrough, you'll have a clear picture of exactly what we're doing, what it costs, and how long it will take. We coordinate directly with agents, sellers, and any other parties at the table so you're not stuck playing middleman between your contractor and your closing timeline.

Why Agents and Sellers Choose Oikos

Oikos founder Garr Owens spent more than five years in the home inspection industry before launching Oikos Home Services. That experience is a direct advantage for every client we work with. Garr knows exactly how inspectors evaluate repairs, what appraisers require, and what it takes to get approved on the first re-inspection.

Working with Oikos means:

  • Quick initial response that respects your closing timeline

  • Repairs completed to satisfy inspectors, appraisers, and lenders

  • One point of contact across all trades, no coordinating multiple contractors

  • Clear communication with all parties throughout the job

  • Licensed and insured in the state of Delaware

We don't consider a job done until it passes. That's the standard we hold ourselves to because our family name is on every job we take.

Repairs Now. Payment at Closing.

Upfront repair costs shouldn't be the reason a deal falls apart. With Oikos's pay-at-close option, we complete your inspection repairs now and collect payment at the closing table. Little to no money out of pocket before the deal is done.

It's one of the most practical tools available to sellers working against a deadline, and one of the strongest options agents can bring to their clients. Ask us about eligibility when you request your estimate.
