Paint and patch

Walls the next tenant won't notice

Nail holes, dings and scuffs fixed once, then painted in your house color.

Included

  • Nail holes and anchors filled and sanded

  • Drywall dings and door-knob holes patched

  • Stain-blocking primer over water marks and smoke

  • Two coats on walls, ceilings and trim

  • Doors, closets and baseboards included

  • Leftover paint labeled for touch-ups

What changes the price

Three things that move the number

  • Rooms and ceiling height

    The turn sheet prices by unit type. A tall ceiling, a stairwell or a long hallway moves a unit up a column.

  • Condition of the walls

    Smoke, crayon, heavy patching and wallpaper take prep time. We photograph them on day one and price them before we start.

  • Color changes

    Your house color is the base price. A dark-to-light change or an accent wall needs extra coats and is added to the work order.

Rules

Permits and older buildings

Interior painting and patching needs no permit. In a building built before 1978 the EPA's rule on lead paint covers paid prep and paint work, and we follow it: plastic sheeting, wet methods and a HEPA cleanup. Repairs under 6 square feet are exempt.

We keep your paint brand, color code and sheen on your house sheet, so every unit you send us matches the last.

Questions about this job

Do you paint over wallpaper?

We strip it or skim over it, depending on the wall behind it. It's an add-on, priced from photos before the work order is final.

What if the tenant painted dark colors?

We prime with a stain-blocking primer and count the extra coats on the work order. You see the line before we start.

Do you paint cabinets?

Yes, as an add-on. See kitchen and bath refresh for how it's priced.
