Unit turns

Getting vacant units repaired, refreshed and ready for the next tenant

Empty finished room with white walls, diagonal wood-look flooring, open doorways and a black rectangular ceiling light.

Between tenants, a unit usually needs a mix of small repairs and refresh work. We walk the unit with you or your property manager, agree a written scope, and handle drywall patching, paint, flooring and punch-list items with our crew.

Typical timeline

Depends on the unit's condition and the agreed scope. We confirm the schedule in writing after the walkthrough.

Materials

  • Drywall and patching compound
  • Interior paint matched to building standards where provided
  • Laminate flooring and trim
  • Tile and grout for small repairs

Common mistakes on this trade

Things worth watching for on any job, ours or someone else's.

01

No written scope

Agreeing the list in writing before work starts avoids surprises at handoff.

02

Mismatched paint and finishes

If the building has standard colors and finishes, share them so touch-ups blend in.

03

Forgetting access details

Keys, lockbox codes, parking and quiet hours affect scheduling. Share them up front.
