Our Turnover Painting Process
Prep is 80%of a great paint job.
The finish you see is only as good as the work underneath it. Here is exactly what happens from vendor setup to invoice on every turnover we run in Virginia Beach and across Hampton Roads.
Step by Step
How a turnover runs, step by step.
Walk the unit, set the scope
We walk a representative unit at your property, review your condition standards, and establish per-unit pricing by bedroom count. You get a written scope covering surfaces, prep, products, and timing.
What a Premier scope includes:
Surfaces covered · prep and repair detail · paint products and sheen · per-unit pricing by bedroom count · turnaround time · payment terms
Protect before we touch anything
Drop cloths, plastic, tape, and shoe covers. Before photos documented before any equipment comes in. If something is damaged, we report it immediately. Honesty keeps trust.
Repair and surface prep
Patch move-out damage. Sand or degloss for adhesion. Caulk gaps at trim. Remove all dust. Prime where the surface needs it. This is the step that separates a unit that holds up from one that comes back to you.
Prime, cut in, roll
Manufacturer coverage rates. A maintained wet edge. Clean lines at ceilings, corners, trim, and outlets. No holidays, no lap marks. Doors and trim get a smooth finish.
Field sign-off
A field manager walks the unit before the crew leaves. If it does not meet standard, it does not get called complete. Touch-ups happen before sign-off, not after you find them.
Documentation & invoice
After photos uploaded the same day. Invoice follows within 24 hours of sign-off with photos attached. The scope on the invoice matches the scope on the work order. Every time.
On Every Unit
What every account gets.
Photo documentation
Before and after photos on every unit. Every one. Uploaded the same day — a dispute-proof record of condition and completed work.
Predictable per-unit pricing
Pricing set by unit type and bedroom count. You can budget turnovers accurately instead of guessing job to job.
Safety above all
Ladders inspected before use. Proper PPE. We stop work if conditions are unsafe. No job is worth an injury.
Before You Request a Bid
What to have ready.
A bid moves faster when we know the basics up front: the property address, the number and mix of units by bedroom count, what a typical turnover includes at your property, and your target ready-dates. Once the account is set up, each turnover request needs the unit, address, scope, and target ready-date.
We work with property management companies and commercial accounts across Hampton Roads, including Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake, Portsmouth, Suffolk, Newport News, and Hampton. If you manage a portfolio, see how vendor accounts work.
Products and sheen
The scope names the paint product and sheen for each surface: eggshell for unit walls, satin for kitchens, baths, and hallways, semi-gloss for trim and doors. See the finishes guide on our Services page.
If something is not right
A field manager walks every unit before the crew leaves, and touch-ups happen before sign-off, not after you find them. If anything is damaged during the job, we report it immediately. Move-out damage beyond nail holes? Drywall and plaster repair runs on the same work order.
