Rental property painting that gets units back on the market
Every empty day costs rent. Turnovers are quoted fast, painted fast and photographed when they are done.
Rental property painting is judged on two things: how quickly the unit is ready to show, and how cheaply the next turnover can be done. A beautiful custom color that nobody can match in two years is a bad result for a landlord, however good it looks today.
So for property managers and landlords we work to a standard. Same colors, same sheens, same products across your units, written down once and reused. That keeps quotes short, touch-ups invisible and your maintenance budget predictable.
What a vacant-unit repaint includes
- Walls washed where needed — kitchens and entry areas usually carry grease and hand marks that paint will not cover cleanly
- Nail holes, anchors and dents filled; larger damage handled as drywall and texture repair before paint
- Stain blocking on water marks, smoke residue and marker so it does not bleed through the new coat
- Walls, ceilings, doors and trim in your standard colors, with ceilings and doors optional on lighter turnovers
- A labelled touch-up can left in the unit or with your maintenance team
Speed on empty units
A vacant unit is the fastest thing we paint. There is no furniture to move and no one to work around, so a crew can mask, spray ceilings, cut and roll in a fraction of the time an occupied home takes.
Tell us the move-out date and the date you want to list or hand over. If a cleaning crew, carpet installer or handyman is also booked, we sequence around them so nobody paints over fresh dust or walks over new carpet.
Keys, lockbox codes and gate access get agreed once, and we confirm each visit by text.
Standard colors and multi-unit pricing
If you do not already have a standard, we will help you set one: one wall color, one ceiling white, one trim and door color, with products and sheens named. A washable eggshell or satin on walls and semi-gloss on trim and doors stand up better to tenants than flat paint.
Once the standard exists, pricing several units together is simple. Managers with a portfolio of similar units can get per-unit prices by size or layout, and repeat turnovers often need only photos and a unit number rather than a site visit. Multi-unit work is quoted as a package with a schedule, so you can budget each turnover in advance. Typical ranges are on our pricing page.
Photos of completed work
Every finished unit gets a set of photos sent to you, room by room, so you can approve it from the office and keep a record of the condition at handover. That record is useful later when you compare the unit at the next move-out.

What property managers ask
Can you quote a turnover from photos?
Often, yes — especially for repeat units we have painted before. For a first unit or one with damage, we prefer a quick visit so the price is right the first time.
Can you work while a tenant is still in the unit?
We can, with the tenant's agreement on access and times, but it takes longer and costs more. Painting after move-out and before the next move-in is usually the efficient option.
Do you offer pricing for several properties?
Yes. With a standard color spec and similar layouts, we can price per unit type and schedule your units across the year.
What happens if the unit has more damage than expected?
We stop, send photos and a price for the extra work, and continue once you approve it. Nothing gets added to the invoice without your sign-off.
How do you close out a rental unit?
We walk the finished unit with you or your agent and note any touch-ups, which are done before we hand back the keys. If you choose a lighter scope to save money, the quote says which steps were left out. See the FAQ for more.
