Auburn's rental calendar is brutal: most leases end and start within a few weeks of each other every summer. Every vacant day is lost rent. We plan turnovers weeks ahead, show up on the move-out date, and hand back a rent-ready unit with photos.
Many of our landlord clients live in Birmingham, Atlanta or out of state. You get one contact, a written scope and price per unit, and before-and-after photos, so you don't have to drive down to check on the work.

We plan for the August crunch
Book your units in spring and we'll schedule the crew and materials before the rush.
Durable, repeatable specs
Standard paint colors, sheens and LVP lines so future touch-ups match without guesswork.
Remote-owner friendly
Photos, written scopes, invoices you can forward to your accountant, and one person to call.
What drives the price
A light turn (paint, patch and repairs) usually runs $1,500–$4,000. A medium turn with LVP and fixtures runs $5,000–$12,000, and a heavy turn with kitchen or bath updates runs $12,000–$30,000 per unit.
Condition at move-out
Pet damage, wall damage and neglected maintenance drive the scope more than size.
Upgrade vs. repair
Replacing carpet with LVP costs more once but reduces future turn costs.
Timing
Units booked ahead of the summer peak are easier to staff and price than last-minute calls.
Portfolio pricing
Multiple units or a standing turnover agreement lowers per-unit cost.
No surprises. That's the whole process.
Four steps, clearly communicated, so you always know where your project stands.
Walkthrough
We come to the house, listen to what you want, measure, and talk honestly about what's possible and what it costs.
Written estimate
A clear scope, line-item pricing and a realistic timeline in writing. No vague "we'll see" numbers.
Build
Permits pulled, trades scheduled, site kept clean. You get updates as the work happens, not after.
Final walkthrough
We walk every inch with you, handle the punch list, and don't call it done until you do.

Can you work around move-out and move-in dates?
Yes, that's the whole point. Send us your lease dates and we'll schedule the turn to fit, including tight Auburn University summer windows.
I live out of town. How do I know the work is done?
You get before-and-after photos of every room, an itemized invoice and a walkthrough video on request.
Do you work with property managers?
Yes. We can work directly from a property manager's work order and bill the owner or the management company.
