Rental Turnover & Make-Ready for Landlords

Every vacant day costs you rent. We handle the full make-ready — repairs, paint, punch list and cleaning coordination — as one scheduled block, so the unit is listing-ready and you're back to collecting rent.

How a turnover runs

1. Move-out walkthrough

We walk the vacant unit with you (in person or by video), photograph the condition and send a written scope so you can separate tenant damage from normal wear.

2. Make-ready block

Repairs, paint and cleaning are scheduled as one continuous block instead of separate trades on separate days, so the unit isn't sitting idle between visits.

3. Listing-ready handoff

Final inspection with photos of the finished unit, keys returned and any recommended follow-up flagged before the next tenant moves in.

Exact turnaround depends on unit size, scope and material availability. You get a confirmed schedule in writing at the walkthrough stage — before any work begins.

Multiple units or a whole portfolio

If you manage more than one property, turnovers shouldn't restart from zero every time.

One point of contact for the whole portfolio — no re-explaining the property each time
Staggered scheduling so several units can be turned in the same week
Standing scope: agree a make-ready standard once and we apply it to every unit
Per-unit invoicing so costs stay attached to the right property
Access handled by lockbox, key pickup or on-site super — whatever your process is

Landlord turnover FAQs

How fast can you turn a vacant unit?

We confirm the schedule at the walkthrough, based on the size of the unit and the scope. Repairs, paint and cleaning are booked as one block rather than separate trades, which is usually what removes the most idle days.

Do you work with property management companies?

Yes. We handle single landlords, small portfolios and management companies, with per-unit scoping and invoicing so each property is tracked separately.

Can you turn several units at once?

Yes. Tell us how many units and their availability dates and we'll stagger the schedule so multiple make-readies run in the same week where possible.

Do you document the unit condition?

Every turnover starts with a photo-documented walkthrough and ends with photos of the finished unit, which helps with security deposit decisions and listing photos.

How is turnover work priced?

Small punch lists follow our standard $45/hour handyman rate with a $75 minimum per visit; full make-readies are quoted as a flat price after the walkthrough. See our rates page for details.
