Unit Turns

Apartment Unit Turn Painting

Every month, units empty out and need to be ready for the next tenant fast. We handle unit turn painting on a standing basis for property managers: walls, ceilings, trim, and touch-ups between tenants, scheduled around your leasing timeline so an empty unit doesn't sit unpainted longer than it has to. This runs separate from community-wide exterior and common-area work; some managers use us for one, some for both.

  • Turnaround built around move-out and move-in dates

    Scheduling follows your leasing calendar so units come back online on time.

  • Standardized colors and finishes across units

    One documented spec keeps every unit consistent and touch-ups matching years later.

  • Wall, ceiling, and trim work sized to the unit

    Touch-ups or a full repaint depending on the condition the unit comes back in.

  • Ongoing standing-order relationship

    A recurring arrangement rather than re-quoting every unit as a one-time project.

The Problem

Large Projects Fail on Coordination, Not Paint

  • Inconsistent color and finish from building to building

  • Residents blindsided by crews, complaints piling up at the board

  • Contractors who underbid, fall behind, and disappear mid-project

“A community-wide repaint should make the board look good, not bury it in complaints.”

Board & PM Deliverables

Everything Your Board or Manager Actually Needs on File

Community projects don't get approved without paperwork. Every job ships with the package below, before the first can opens.

Line-Item Proposal

Per-building scope, product specs, coat count, and price, board-approval-ready.

Reserve-Study Aligned

Scope written to match your reserve schedule and funding cycle.

Resident Notice Templates

Bilingual EN/ES notices delivered per building the week before we start.

Phased Schedule

Phase-by-phase timeline with unit-turn windows and weekly progress reports.

Our Approach

Built for Communities, Not Just Houses

Project Management at Scale

Phased schedules by building or street, one point of contact, and progress reporting to the board or manager.

HOA-Compliant Colors & Specs

Approved color schemes matched exactly, documented per unit, and consistent finish across the entire property.

Resident Communication Handled

Bilingual notices and scheduling so residents know exactly when their unit is painted, before the crew arrives.

Scope of Work

What a Community Repaint Actually Involves

Community-scale projects live or die on documentation, phasing, and resident communication. Every job runs the same playbook regardless of property size.

  • Surface cleaning per building

    Pressure or hand washing to strip dust, chalking, spider webs, and irrigation staining before any coating.

  • Scraping & sanding

    Failing paint removed and edges feathered so every building reads consistent from the street.

  • Stucco patching & minor repairs

    Hairline cracks, dings, and minor stucco or trim repairs filled and prepped for coating.

  • Caulking where needed

    Trim, window and door frames, exterior joints, and penetrations sealed against monsoon-season moisture.

  • Full protection of the community

    Landscaping, patios, walkways, vehicles, HVAC units, mailboxes, and signage covered before crews start.

  • Priming repaired or bare surfaces

    Spot or full primer on stucco patches, bare wood, or stained areas so color and adhesion hold across the property.

  • Agreed number of coats

    Coat count specified per surface and per building type in the proposal, consistent across the community.

  • Daily cleanup + final cleanup

    Each phase left safe and presentable at end of shift; punch-list walk with your manager at completion.

Desert Climate

Why Desert Exteriors Are on a Repaint Clock

Las Vegas stucco and exterior surfaces take a different kind of beating than most markets. Constant UV exposure and extreme heat cycling age exterior coatings faster here than in milder climates, which is exactly why exterior repaint cycles across HOA communities in this Valley tend to run shorter than the national average without the right coating system.

  • UV exposure and heat cycling

    Sun load and daily temperature swings break coatings down faster here, so product selection matters more than it does in a mild climate.

  • Stucco repair comes before paint

    Painting over cracked or failing stucco just seals in the problem instead of fixing it, so repairs are scoped and completed first.

  • Timing outside peak summer heat

    Exterior work scheduled outside the hottest part of the year gives the coating a better chance to cure properly the first time.

What Moves the Price

Why Two Communities Land at Different Numbers

Community projects are priced from a walk-through, never a per-square-foot shortcut. These are the honest levers that move the total.

  • Property size & unit count

    Total buildings, unit count, wall square footage, and story count drive the base scope.

  • Common areas vs exterior

    Corridors, lobbies, and stairwells behave differently than exterior stucco and trim.

  • Surface condition

    UV-damaged stucco, peeling trim, or irrigation-stained walls add prep across every building.

  • Scheme complexity

    Multi-color HOA schemes and per-building accent variations add cut-in time and product lines.

  • Height & access

    Three-story buildings, tight courtyards, and shared driveways need staging and traffic plans.

  • Schedule constraints

    Phasing around residents, HOA meetings, and seasonal weather windows affects labor cost.

Line-Item Scope

Nothing important gets left off the page.

You approve the scope in writing before we lift a brush. If it isn't on the estimate, it isn't in the price. Either way, no surprises.

  • Scope of work per building or phase
  • Every area included and every area excluded
  • Paint brand, product line, sheen, and coat count per surface
  • Itemized price breakdown, labor, materials, prep, mobilization
  • Phased schedule with resident-notification plan
  • Insurance certificates and written workmanship warranty
Resident Experience

Bilingual Notices

EN/ES door hangers and community-board postings a week before each phase.

Patio & Balcony Protection

Personal items, plants, and grills covered. Nothing wet or exposed overnight.

Same Crew Start to Finish

Before You Hire

Questions to Ask Before You Hire a Community Painter

A board or property manager evaluating bids should be able to get a straight answer to all of these.

  • Is the prep scope itemized, or is it buried in one number?
  • Are the products and coating systems named, not just “quality paint”?
  • Will you provide license and insurance documentation before the project starts, not after you ask twice?
  • Is there an actual resident communication plan, or just “we’ll put up some signs”?
  • Is the schedule phased and in writing, building by building?

A bid that's noticeably cheaper than the rest of the field and skips one of these isn't a better deal, it's a cost that shows up later, either in redone work or a project that runs longer than planned.
