Tenant Turnover Painters

Need Painting Between Tenants?

Vancouver tenant turnovers run tight. A tenant moves out Sunday, the new one moves in Saturday. You have six days to deep clean, patch, paint, and re-stage. Most of those days are not paintable.

We slot into the gap. Two-person crew, 1-3 day turnaround on suites under 900 sq ft, 3-5 days on whole townhomes. Same colour repaint to spec or full re-colour to neutral.

Landlord package: same Benjamin Moore or Cloverdale colours your building uses, patch nail holes and scuffs, prime stained spots, two-coat all surfaces tenants touched. Deposit-return walk-through ready.

Vacating renter package: bring the unit back to deposit-safe condition. We document before/after photos for your records.

What Tenant Turnover Needs

What Move-Out Vancouver Suites Need Before Paint

Most Vancouver turnovers need the same six things. We bring them all on day one – no second site visit, no waiting on a contractor.

  • Patch nail holes, anchor pockets, picture hooks.Average Vancouver suite has 25-60 holes per room. Patch with mesh-backed compound, sand, prime spot, blend paint.
  • Spot-prime stains, marker, grease.Kitchen splatter, kid marker, smoke residue, urine stains all need Stix or BIN primer before topcoat or they bleed through.
  • Touch up scuffs at switch height.Living-room walls take the worst beating around couch, light switches, and door handles. Sand, touch, blend.
  • Repaint full walls if patches show.Spot painting in eggshell never blends. Flat walls touch up cleanly; eggshell and semi-gloss need full-wall repaint.
  • Re-coat trim, doors, baseboards if scuffed.Often forgotten on turnover. Tenants drag furniture and the trim wears. Quick sand, re-coat in Advance or Cabinet Coat.
  • Document before-after photos.For landlords: deposit-return evidence. For tenants: condition handoff record. We send a PDF after every job.

Pro Tips From 6 Years of Vancouver Turnovers

9 Tenant Turnover Painting Tips Worth Knowing

  1. Decide between touch-up and full repaint before the tenant leaves. Eggshell and semi-gloss never touch up cleanly. If 30% of a wall needs patching, repaint the whole wall.
  2. Photograph every room the day after move-out, before cleaning. Cleaners can hide damage and you lose the deposit case. Date-stamped photos protect both sides.
  3. Use the same paint code, not “the same colour”. Two different paint codes look identical on the sample card and different on the wall. Get the exact code from previous receipts or scan a chip.
  4. Schedule paint AFTER cleaning, not before. Cleaners use ammonia and bleach which leave streaks paint will not stick to. Clean then paint, never reverse.
  5. Patch BEFORE you cut the deposit. A $40 patch and $80 paint is a $120 cost. The deposit deduction would have been $300. Tenants accept smaller deductions if the work is professional.
  6. Whole-house repaints rent for $80-$200 more per month. Fresh paint photographs well and gets more applicants. Math is in your favour after the second month of rent.
  7. Stay neutral on re-colour. Cloud White, Simply White, White Dove are the three colours that show up best in MLS photos and never date. Skip greys for rental turnover – dates fast.
  8. Trim takes the most damage and the longest to repaint. Budget 30-40% of paint time for baseboards, casing, and doors. Easy to under-estimate.
  9. Always prime kitchen and bathroom walls if a smoker lived there. Tobacco yellows through any latex within 6 weeks. Stix or BIN, two coats, then topcoat.
Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast can you book a Vancouver turnover repaint? +

3-7 days lead time for most suites under 1200 sq ft. Larger units sometimes need 1-2 weeks. We hold weekly turnover slots open specifically for property managers and landlords on the rental cycle.

How much does a tenant turnover repaint cost in Vancouver? +

Studio: $680-$1,080. 1-bed: $980-$1,580. 2-bed: $1,580-$2,480. 3-bed townhouse: $2,480-$3,680. Pricing depends on patch volume, ceiling height, and whether trim needs recoating. Bulk rate for 5+ units per year.

Can you match the building paint colour? +

Yes. Bring the receipt, a chip, or the building paint code and we use exactly the same Benjamin Moore or Cloverdale product. Once we paint your building once we keep the code on file.

Do you work with property managers? +

Yes. We offer recurring booking slots, building colour codes on file, monthly invoicing, and bulk-rate pricing for 5+ units per year. References available from current PM clients.

How do you handle pre-1978 Vancouver buildings? +

EPA RRP certified. HEPA vacuum at every transition, plastic containment, damp wipe-down. Required by law on pre-1978 properties – we never skip it even when other painters do.

Can you do same-day touch-up for an exiting tenant deposit return? +

Yes. Patch + paint only, half-day to one day. Goal is to get your full deposit back. We focus on common deduction items (nail holes, scuffs, marker). Cost typically $380-$980 vs deposit deductions of $400-$1,500.

Do you supply paint or do landlords? +

Either. Most landlords have us supply paint – we get contractor pricing on Benjamin Moore and pass it through. For building-managed buildings with stock paint, we use what is on hand. No markup on supplied paint.

Can you paint between cleaning and the new tenant move-in? +

Yes. Standard sequence: cleaner Sunday, painter Monday-Tuesday, cleaner final wipe Wednesday, tenant moves in Friday. We coordinate with the cleaner so you do not lose a day.

What about removing tenant paint colours (purple walls, accent reds)? +

2-3 coats with Stix or BIN primer, then 2 coats of neutral. Total 4-5 coats. Add $400-$800 to standard repaint. Most extreme tenant colours take 1 extra day.
