More from House Calls.

Beyond turnovers — the everyday work and the straight answers that keep a property healthy.

House Calls

Repairs & Renovations

When something in the home needs attention, we show up and handle it — the everyday repairs and refreshes that keep a property in good health.

  • Interior & exterior painting and finishes
  • Flooring, tile & surface updates
  • Fixture & hardware replacement
  • Drywall, trim & small repairs
  • Rental turnovers & make-ready
  • Ongoing maintenance & punch lists

Property Physical Exam

The Property Physical Exam

A checkup for your home.

We walk your property and give you a straight read on its health: what needs attention now, what can wait, and what's worth doing. Perfect for second homes, new landlords, prepping to sell, or just knowing where you stand.

The Property Physical Exam is a visual walk-through — not a licensed home inspection. We're not licensed home inspectors, and this isn't a substitute for a professional inspection, especially for buying or selling. We simply walk your property and tell you what we notice on the day we visit — the visible, accessible stuff. We can't see inside walls or promise we'll catch everything, and when it's time to bring in a licensed inspector or specialist, we'll tell you.

Second Opinion

Second Opinion

Is that quote fair?

Got a contractor bid that feels high, or someone telling you it's urgent? Before you sign, get a second opinion from a team that hires trades every week and owns rentals of its own. We'll tell you what the work should run — and whether it's even necessary.

Property Check-Ins

Property Check-Ins

Eyes on your place when you can't be there.

For vacant units, seasonal homes, and properties between tenants, we do scheduled check-ins on a plan — weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly — looking for leaks, storm or pest damage, and security issues. After every visit, a photo report lands in your client portal. Plans from $59/month.

We check on the property, not people — we're not a home-health service.

Your client portal

Everything about your home, in one place. Review and approve your treatment plan line by line, pay deposits and invoices by card or bank right from your phone, see before-and-after photos of every completed visit, and request new work in a few taps — no phone tag required.

About

A clinician's standard of care, applied to your property.

RE Rx House Calls was founded by Denay and Michael Bartuseck — equal partners in life and in business, and both nurse practitioners. It's built on the same principle that guides their care: people first, and a whole-person mentality. We don't just handle the problem in front of you — we look at the whole real estate and financial picture, diagnose carefully, and treat the root cause, not just the symptom.

Michael Bartuseck Co-founder & Head of House Calls · Renovation expert, investor & licensed Realtor

House Calls is Michael's operation. He scopes the work, walks the properties, and runs the specialists who swing the hammers. A licensed Realtor since 2018 and an active investor, he has spent years buying, fixing, flipping, and leasing his own properties, learning renovation the way it actually gets learned: hands in the dirt, with his own money on the line. When a sub quotes a job, he knows what it should cost, because he's done the work himself.

He is also a nurse practitioner and exercise physiologist, and he brings the clinic to the job site: diagnose what is actually wrong, prioritize the root cause, and treat what matters, always with an eye on your whole real estate and financial picture. Turnover Team was his idea, born from a pain he and Denay live as owner-operators: every day a unit sits costs you.

He's also the author of Real Estate Rx: How Medical Professionals Build Wealth Through Real Estate, a practical framework for busy professionals who want to build wealth through real estate without it becoming a second full-time job.
