How much does an apartment turnover cost?

There is no flat rate. Each unit is priced in writing after a walkthrough, before work starts.

Two units with the same floor plan can need very different work. One has nail holes and worn paint. The next has torn carpet, a broken closet door and a ceiling stain.

The price moves most with drywall repair, touch-up versus full repaint, section repair versus new flooring, and the number of doors, fixtures and punch items open.

Market surveys put a full multifamily turn, with lost rent and leasing, at about $4,000. That is a national figure, not our price. The written estimate usually arrives 24 to 48 hours after the walkthrough, and nothing is added without your approval. Each line is priced on its own, so you can strike items your own maintenance staff will handle.
