Scope

Unit Turns That Keep Your Lease-Up on Schedule

Every day a unit sits vacant after a resident moves out is lost revenue. Our unit turn process is engineered to minimize that gap — getting every unit from move-out condition to rent-ready as fast as humanly possible, without cutting corners on quality.

We handle everything: flooring removal and installation, full paint and drywall repair, kitchen cabinet and countertop replacement, bathroom vanity and fixture upgrades, electrical and plumbing updates, HVAC servicing, and hardware/blinds packages. All under one contract — you never coordinate multiple trades.

Best of all, we work around your residents. We only enter vacated units. Occupied neighbors stay undisturbed. Your community keeps earning rent throughout the entire renovation program.

Use Cases

Who Needs Unit Turn Services?

Class A Lease-Up Prep

Rapid unit turns to get new-construction or recently-acquired properties lease-ready with premium finishes that command top-of-market rents.

Class B/C Portfolio Standardization

Consistent, repeatable scope across your entire portfolio so every unit — regardless of property age — meets the same quality standard.

Seasonal Turn Surge

Scale up crew capacity during peak leasing months (May–September) when vacancy turnover is highest and downtime must be minimized.

Pre-Sale or Pre-Refinance Prep

Targeted unit renovations to maximize appraisal value and lender confidence before a sale, refinance, or portfolio recapitalization.

Ideal For

Built for Teams Managing Apartment Communities at Scale

Our unit turn service is designed for operators who manage hundreds or thousands of doors — where consistency, speed, and single-vendor accountability aren't nice-to-haves, they're the business.

Regional Property Managers

Managing 500–2,000+ doors across multiple properties. You need one vendor who can handle every unit turn with consistent quality — not five different contractors who each do one trade.

REIT Asset Managers

You report to investors quarterly. We provide formatted weekly progress dashboards, budget reconciliation, and closeout packages that meet institutional documentation standards — so your investor reports practically write themselves.

Portfolio Operations Directors

You live and die by vacancy metrics and make-ready timelines. Our crew allocation model scales with your vacancy velocity — more crew capacity during peak turn season, less during winter months — so your KPIs stay green.

On-Site Community Managers

You're the one fielding resident complaints and leasing inquiries. We make your life easier: scheduled unit entries, dust containment, noise protocols, and zero surprises. Your residents stay happy and your tours look great.

FAQ

Unit Turn Questions Answered

Our unit turn cycle averages 4–6 weeks, faster or longer depending on scope, from the day a unit vacates to the day it's re-lease ready. This covers flooring, paint, kitchen refresh (cabinets, counters, backsplash), bath refresh (vanity, fixtures, mirror), lighting, and hardware replacement. More extensive scopes — like full electrical rewiring or structural repairs — may extend to 8–12 weeks. We size our crews to match your vacancy velocity so leasing never waits on construction.
