Rental Turnover Painting

Turnover painting is a repair job with a paint finish on the end of it. A vacated unit shows up with anchor holes, picture hangers, television mount holes, dinged corners, scuffed baseboards and door edges, and a bathroom ceiling that has gone a year without ventilation. Getting the walls flat again is most of the labor; the rolling is the short part.

Landlords with a single rental, property managers running multiple doors, and owners of condos and townhomes in newer Inland Empire subdivisions all run the same cycle: tenant out, repairs, paint, clean, list. A standardized wall color across a portfolio makes later turns considerably easier, because patch-and-touch becomes possible instead of repainting entire rooms every time somebody moves.

Coordination matters more here than almost anywhere else. We work to the date the unit needs to be listed, sequence around flooring and cleaning crews, and report what we find, a soft spot under a window or a ceiling stain needing a blocking primer, before it turns into a schedule problem. Access can be handled by lockbox if you are not local.
