What Commercial Painting & Unit Turns Include



Commercial painting and unit turns cover the interior finish work needed to restore a space after an occupant leaves or before a new tenant arrives. The scope depends on the condition of the unit, but most projects fall into the following categories.

  • Interior Wall Painting

    Walls are repainted in full or by room to cover marks, discoloration, and patched areas. For apartment and rental properties, painting is typically done in the property's standard color so units stay consistent and future touch-ups match.

  • Ceiling Painting

    Ceilings in rental units and commercial spaces can show water spots, smoke staining, or general dinginess. Repainting ceilings during commercial painting & unit turns brightens the space and covers stains after the source has been addressed.

  • Trim and Baseboard Work

    Baseboards, door casings, and window trim take the most abuse from vacuums, furniture, and foot traffic. Trim is cleaned, caulked where gaps have opened, and repainted with a durable finish suited to high-contact surfaces.

  • Door and Cabinet Touch-Ups

    Interior doors, door frames, and cabinet faces often have chips, scratches, and worn edges. Touch-up painting restores these surfaces without the cost of full replacement or complete refinishing.

Wall Repairs Before Painting



Paint does not hide damage on its own. Proper commercial painting and unit turns start with repairing the wall surface so the finished paint looks smooth and uniform.

  • Nail Hole and Anchor Patching

    Tenants hang pictures, shelves, and televisions, leaving holes and anchor damage behind. Each hole is filled, sanded flush, and spot-primed so it does not show through the new paint.

  • Drywall Dings and Small Damage

    Door handle impacts, furniture gouges, and dented corners are repaired with patching compound and sanded to match the surrounding wall texture.

  • Crack and Seam Repair

    Hairline cracks around door frames and drywall seams are filled and smoothed before painting so they do not reappear as visible lines after the unit is turned.

  • Priming Repaired and Stained Areas

    Patched spots and stains are primed before topcoats are applied. Priming prevents flashing, where repaired areas look duller or shinier than the surrounding wall, and blocks stains from bleeding through.

Apartment Turnover Support



The unit turn is the window between one tenant's move-out and the next tenant's move-in. Every day a unit sits empty costs the owner rent, so commercial painting and unit turns are organized to complete the work efficiently.

Move-Out Assessment

After a tenant leaves, the unit is walked to identify wall damage, paint needs, trim wear, and cabinet or door touch-ups. This assessment sets the scope for the turn and helps property managers separate normal wear from tenant-caused damage.

Paint and Repair Sequencing

Repairs are completed first, followed by priming and painting, then trim and touch-up work. Following this order prevents rework and keeps commercial painting & unit turns on schedule.

Turnover Cleaning Coordination

Because ELB Cleaning Service also provides cleaning, the turn can include a clean after painting is complete. Dust from sanding and drips from painting are removed so the unit is ready for showing without a second vendor.

Make-Ready Condition

The goal of every unit turn is a make-ready unit: freshly painted walls, repaired surfaces, clean trim, and touched-up doors and cabinets, ready for a leasing agent to show or a new resident to occupy.

Paint Selection and Finish Standards



The paint and finish chosen for commercial painting and unit turns affect how well a unit holds up and how easy it is to touch up later.

Standardized Colors for Rental Properties

Using one standard wall color and one trim color across a property makes future touch-ups faster and keeps every unit consistent for marketing and inspections.

Choosing the Right Sheen

Flat and matte finishes hide wall imperfections well, eggshell offers easier cleaning for living areas, and semi-gloss holds up on trim, doors, and cabinets where scrubbing is frequent.

Clean Lines and Protected Surfaces

Floors, fixtures, outlets, and hardware are protected during painting, and edges are cut cleanly along ceilings and trim so the finished unit looks professionally turned.

Frequently Asked Questions About Commercial Painting & Unit Turns in Macon, GA



  • What is a unit turn in property management?

    A unit turn is the process of preparing a rental unit for a new tenant after the previous tenant moves out. It typically includes repairs, interior painting, touch-ups, and cleaning so the unit is ready to show and lease.

  • What do commercial painting and unit turns include?

    Commercial painting and unit turns include interior wall and ceiling painting, nail hole and drywall repair, trim and baseboard painting, door and cabinet touch-ups, and turnover support to get the unit move-in ready.

  • How long does an apartment unit turn take?

    A standard apartment unit turn usually takes two to five days depending on the unit size, the amount of repair needed, and whether full repainting or only touch-up painting is required.

  • Should a rental unit be fully repainted between every tenant?

    Not always. Units in good condition may only need touch-up painting and patching, while units with heavy wear, smoke staining, or a long-term tenant often need full repainting.

  • What paint finish is best for rental units?

    Many rental properties use flat or eggshell paint on walls and semi-gloss on trim, doors, and cabinets. This combination hides imperfections on walls while giving high-contact surfaces a durable, washable finish.

  • Why should walls be primed after patching?

    Priming patched areas prevents flashing, where repaired spots look different from the surrounding paint. Primer also seals stains so they do not bleed through the new topcoat.

  • Can painting and cleaning be done by the same company?

    Yes. ELB Cleaning Service handles commercial painting & unit turns along with turnover cleaning, which reduces the number of vendors needed and shortens vacancy time.

  • Do you paint commercial office spaces in Macon?

    ELB Cleaning Service provides interior painting for office suites and commercial spaces in Macon as part of commercial painting and unit turns, including wall repair, trim work, and touch-ups between tenants.

  • How is commercial painting for unit turns priced?

    Pricing is based on unit size, number of rooms, whether ceilings and trim are included, the amount of wall repair needed, and whether turnover cleaning is added. Many property managers use a per-unit price for recurring turns.

  • Can unit turns be scheduled on a recurring basis?

    Yes. Apartment communities and property managers in Macon can set up recurring commercial painting & unit turns so units are handled as soon as they become vacant.

  • What is the difference between touch-up painting and full repainting?

    Touch-up painting covers small marks, patched areas, and scuffs in matching paint, while full repainting applies new paint to entire walls or rooms. Touch-ups work best when the existing paint color and sheen are known.
