Scope of services
- Turnovers between tenants, including painting, repairs, cleaning and punch list
- Unit upgrades with durable, low-maintenance finishes
- Renovation before a sale or refinance, scoped to your budget
- Electrical repairs and violation corrections identified during inspections
- Legal conversions and additions with permits, where the zoning and building code allow
As an EPA RRP certified firm, we use lead-safe work practices whenever a turnover disturbs paint in housing built before 1978. Rent-stabilized units have specific rules on improvements and rent increases. We recommend confirming them with your attorney or management advisor before work begins.
Ways to reduce project costs
- Using one paint color, faucet and light fixture across units speeds turnovers and simplifies spare parts.
- Durable finishes such as vinyl plank, quartz and semi-gloss paint hold up between tenants.
- LED lighting, occupancy sensors and timers lower common-area electric bills.
- Scheduling all trades back to back shortens vacancy between tenants.
