From light remodels to inspection remediation, we bridge the gap between "lived-in" and "market-ready."
Preparing Properties for Their Next Chapter.
Most properties are 90% of the way to a perfect sale. I’m here for the final 10%. Drawing on 20 years of experience in the technology sector, I bring a level of responsiveness and precision that the traditional trades often lack.
I specialize in high-impact support for Realtors, tackling the critical pre-listing touch-ups and post-inspection repairs that keep closings on schedule. In a high-stakes market where timing is everything, I provide the professional reliability needed to bridge the gap between "for sale" and "sold."
Based in Cedar Park and serving the Greater Austin area. When details matter and deadlines are non-negotiable, I’m here to finish the job.
OUR SERVICES
At Property Prep ATX, we specialize in high-impact transformations that protect your investment and maximize market value. We bridge the gap between a lived-in home and a market-ready listing by focusing on strategic execution and aesthetic perfection.
REAL ESTATE MAKE-READY & LIGHT REMODELS
First impressions are everything. We help homeowners and agents maximize property value before a home hits the market by focusing on the high-visibility updates modern buyers demand.
Strategic Remodeling: High-impact kitchen and bath refreshes, including cabinet refinishing, backsplash tile, and modern countertop upgrades.
Precision Wall Care: Expert drywall repair (patching holes, fixing cracks) and seamless texture matching to erase years of wear.
Professional Paint Touch-ups: Refreshing scuffed trim, doors, and walls to create a crisp, "like-new" interior feel.
Designer Fixture Updates: Swapping out dated lighting packages, plumbing fixtures, and cabinet hardware for a cohesive, modern aesthetic.
Flooring & Tile: Installation of modern LVP or tile to modernize high-traffic areas and improve the home's overall flow.
RISK MITIGATION & INSPECTION RESOLUTION
We help property owners identify and resolve issues before they become "deal-killers" during an inspection, ensuring a smoother path to closing.
Inspection Report Remediation: Efficiently clearing "Option Period" repair lists to keep your contract on track.
System Integrity: Proactive checks of door seals, weather stripping, and hardware to ensure the building envelope is secure.
Technical Troubleshooting: Identifying and fixing the functional "red flags" that modern inspectors flag most often.
BEYOND THE REMODEL
While our primary focus is on large-scale property preparation, we are happy to provide professional handyman supportfor smaller tasks while on-site for a project. We can integrate the following into your broader scope of work:
Smart Home Integration: Expert installation of smart locks, thermostats, and security cameras (Nest, Ring, etc.).
Precision Mounting: Secure hanging of heavy mirrors, art, and custom window treatments.
General Adjustments: Addressing the "squeaky or broken" items that keep a home from feeling truly finished.

Who is Behind Property Prep?
David Siejka
David Siejka spent two decades in the world of high-stakes technology project management and mobile app engagement, leading teams to build seamless digital experiences for some of the biggest brands. In that world, "close enough" is a failure. You don't launch a global app with bugs, and you certainly don't ignore the user experience. Eventually, he realized that the same rigor required to ship world-class technology was missing from the world of residential real estate.
Why the Pivot?
For the past 10 years, David has had a foot in both worlds—managing complex digital projects by day and maintaining his own rental properties and renovations by night. He saw a consistent, frustrating gap in the market: The "90% Gap."So many homes are 90% of the way to a perfect listing or a dream move-in, but they get tripped up by that final 10%—the small imperfections, the "honey-do" list that never got done, and the hidden maintenance issues that kill deals during the inspection phase.
Closing the Gap for Austin Realtors
Property Prep ATX was founded to bridge that gap with professional-grade reliability and extreme attention to detail. We understand that for a realtor, your reputation is tied to the speed and quality of the preparation. We don't just "fix things"; we ensure your property is market-ready on a timeline that respects the urgency of the Austin market.
Detail-Oriented Execution: We sweat the small stuff—the scuffs, the hardware, and the finishing touches—so the "user experience" for potential buyers is flawless from the moment they walk in.
Unwavering Timeliness: In real estate, the clock is always ticking. We treat every project like a high-stakes launch: it must be high-quality, it must be on time, and the communication must be transparent.
Realtor-First Partnership: Whether it’s a pre-listing punch list or a rapid-response repair during an option period, we act as an extension of your team to get the deal across the finish line.
From Cedar Park to the greater Austin area, Property Prep ATX is here to ensure that final 10% is what sells the home, not what holds it back.
