Your apartment  is like-brand new and ready for you! We conduct multiple walk-throughs and complete a pre-move in checklist to ensure your new home is ready. It typically takes 5 to 7 days to paint, clean, and prepare your apartment for move-in. Carpet and flooring are evaluated for cleaning or replacement. Appliances and plumbing fixtures are inspected and thoroughly cleaned. We will ensure the apartment is in like-new condition for your move-in day! We complete a full inspection of the vacated apartment home to determine what, in addition to the standard turnkey process, might be needed to bring the space to full readiness for new occupancy. The apartment will always be painted, cleaned, and 'punched' (bulbs/filters/locks changed, appliances checked). Additional items may include repairs or replacements to sheetrock, flooring, appliances, or fixtures as needed.
