Unit Turnover Painting: Becoming the Property Manager’s Only Call

Apartment turnovers are some of the steadiest work in painting. A complex of a few hundred units turns over units every month of the year. The contractor who turns them fast and bills cleanly gets all of them.

Requests Come In Every Way

Calls, texts, emails, a note from the maintenance tech. Put every one on the Waiting List with the unit address and the move-in date.

Building-Standard Colors

Most complexes use one standard wall color and one trim color. Save them on each unit. Every turnover job fills in from the last one.

Book Units Together

When three units at the same complex need painting the same week, book them on the same day. The map shows them side by side.

Proof for the Manager

Before and after photos and the checklist condition give the manager proof. “Repair recommended: water damage under the kitchen window” lets them act before move-in.

One Bill

Set the manager to Monthly billing and every turnover goes on one statement. See Monthly Statements.

Speed Wins

Being able to say “we can have it done Thursday” is what keeps the account.
