Vacant properties deteriorate fast when no one is watching them. Gosney Construction Group secures, maintains and protects empty homes and buildings for owners, investors and property managers in Columbiana, Mahoning and Trumbull counties. We handle lockouts, board-ups, winterization, lawn care, debris removal and repairs, and we send dated photos so you know the property's condition without driving out to check.

How it works
Initial visit
We visit the property, photograph its condition and note security, safety and code issues.
Written proposal
You get an itemized proposal for one-time work and any recurring visits.
Deposit and scheduling
We set the start date and the frequency of recurring checks.
Secure and stabilize
We change locks, board openings and address hazards and active leaks first.
Maintain with photos
Recurring visits cover lawn, debris and condition checks, each with dated photos.
Report and recommend
We report anything new and give you written pricing for any additional repairs.
Photo documentation on every visit
Every visit includes dated photos so you or your client can confirm condition without driving out. Reports can be organized by property for portfolio owners.
Recurring service
Set a schedule for inspections, lawn care, and seasonal work across one or many properties, billed per visit.
