Property managers face a constant battle against time and costs when turning units between tenants. Traditional approaches often stretch beyond a week, bleeding revenue and straining resources. But an innovative solution is transforming this process - the 5-day unit turn.
The Hidden Cost of Extended Unit Turns
"Every day a unit sits vacant represents lost income. At an average rental rate of $1,200 per month, even three extra days of vacancy costs $120 in potential revenue. Multiply this across multiple units and properties, and the financial impact becomes significant."

Beyond direct revenue loss, extended turn times create additional strain on maintenance teams, delay new tenant move-ins, and can damage property reputation. The traditional approach of coordinating multiple vendors for painting, flooring, and repairs often leads to scheduling conflicts and quality control issues.
The 5-Day Solution: Efficiency Meets Excellence
Our streamlined approach consolidates all essential services - painting, drywall repair, flooring installation, and carpet cleaning - under one coordinated team. This integration eliminates communication gaps and scheduling conflicts that typically extend turn times.
Day 1-2 focuses on repairs and preparation, including drywall work and surface preparation. Days 3-4 are dedicated to painting and flooring installation, while Day 5 involves final touches and quality control. This systematic approach ensures consistent results while maintaining high quality standards.
Real Financial Impact
Properties implementing this system report average savings of $300-500 per turn through reduced vacancy losses and labor efficiency. For a property turning 100 units annually, this translates to $30,000-50,000 in direct savings.
The benefits extend beyond immediate cost savings. Faster turns mean quicker occupancy for new tenants, improved maintenance team productivity, and enhanced property reputation. Properties using this system report higher tenant satisfaction scores and improved maintenance staff retention.
Implementation and Results
Successful implementation requires careful coordination and the right team. Our certified professionals handle everything from initial assessment to final inspection, ensuring every detail meets quality standards. This single-source accountability eliminates finger-pointing between vendors and ensures consistent results.
The results speak for themselves: 98% of turns completed within the 5-day window, 95% first-time quality pass rate, and significant cost savings across properties of all sizes. These metrics demonstrate the real-world impact of this innovative approach.
Looking Forward
The future of property maintenance lies in efficient, integrated solutions that save both time and money. The 5-day turn system represents just the beginning of what's possible when traditional processes are reimagined with efficiency and quality in mind.
Properties ready to transform their turn process can start by analyzing their current metrics and identifying areas where coordination and efficiency can be improved. The path to significant savings and improved property performance begins with a single step toward modernization.
