Apartment Turnover and Make-Ready Services in Atlanta
In short Full apartment make-readies for Atlanta communities on a 5-business-day standard for 1BR and 2BR units: cleaning, paint, drywall, resurfacing, HVAC, plumbing and electrical checks, junk removal and a photo-documented punch list, on one invoice.
Every day a unit sits vacant is rent you are not collecting. The standard make-ready is 5 business days for a 1BR or 2BR unit, and it continues through HVAC, plumbing and electrical checks, because finding problems during the turn is always cheaper than after move-in.
- Deep cleaning, painting and drywall repair
- Bathtub and countertop resurfacing
- HVAC, plumbing and electrical checks on every unit
- Junk removal and a final punch list walk with photo documentation

What a 5-day apartment make-ready includes
Deep cleaning, interior painting and drywall repair, bathtub and countertop resurfacing, HVAC filter replacement and system check, plumbing fixture inspection and minor repair, electrical outlet and GFCI verification, smoke detector batteries, junk removal and the final punch list walk.
One crew for every trade on the turn
Paint, plumbing, electrical and HVAC are the same vendor on the same schedule, which is how a turn that took nine days across five vendors becomes five days and one phone call.
Photo-documented punch list walk
The last step of every turn is a walk with photos, so the property manager can approve the unit for move-in from the office instead of driving out.
